Careport Health has raised $2 million from new and existing investors, including Generator Ventures, Baseline Ventures, CommonAngels Ventures, Excelerate Health Ventures, Launch Capital, 500 Startups and angel investor Andy Palmer.

The two-year-old company has developed a service for hospitals to help patients better understand their post-acute care options by going beyond simple print out that healthcare facilities give patients after a procedure. It also tracks a patient’s recovery and transmits relevant information to the patient’s care team.

Careport’s platform collects and analyzes data from post-acute care organizations to identify providers that match a patient’s clinical needs and preferences. Facilities meeting criteria such as low readmission rates are presented to patients.

Founded by Lissy Hu when she was a Harvard medical school student, Careport Health is by no means the only company looking to tackle the challenge of post-acute care transitions; other contenders include RightCare Solutions, Utilize Health, Sequentia, and Aidin.
