iGetBetter has closed its $2.6 million Series A investment round, having added $1.1 from private investors, angels as well as members of the iGetBetter management team.

The company — which supplies cloud-based post-acute care transition solutions to help healthcare providers reduce readmissions and unnecessary costs — will use the funds to complete the pilots it’s currently running and convert them to commercial contracts, as well as for general operations.

During last year, a half dozen healthcare providers across the U.S. have piloted the iGetBetter system, with two of these pilots having already converted to commercial contracts. Several more providers are beginning pilots in the next few weeks. Pilots include patients with congestive heart failure, total knee and hip replacements, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypertension, diabetes and depression, and in some cases include patients with more than one of these conditions.

“We are helping healthcare providers such as hospitals, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and physician practice groups reduce costs by engaging patients in their own care plans using mobile devices and consumer biometric devices,” said Win Burke, iGetBetter’s CEO. “This enables clinicians to monitor patients’ biometric data as well as patients’ self-reported data, allowing clinicians to intervene when necessary to avoid unnecessary hospital readmissions and physician office visits.”
