mPulse Mobile has completed its Series A financing with Cambia Health Solutions (Cambia) and Rincon Venture Partners joining in to bring the total round to more than $13 million. Other investors, announced in January, include HLM Venture Partners, OCA Ventures, Merrick Ventures and Jumpstart Ventures.
The company helps its more than 50 U.S. health plan, provider, and pharmaceutical clients solve such challenges as missed appointments, medication adherence, and gaps in care, through more effective consumer engagement. It was recently granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its secure mobile messaging solution, which fosters dialogue between its customers and their consumers.
mPulse Mobile plans to add roughly 20 team members across tech, behavioral science and analytics, account management, and sales and marketing.One of mPulse’s recent clients, Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN), has engaged the company to develop a customized two-way mobile messaging solution to connect consumers more deeply with personal health information. The mobile messages will alert consumers when medical results have been delivered to their care provider team, and when their medical records have been accessed by third-party partners.
“The demand for mobile solutions in healthcare is evident by the speed at which we’ve flourished over the past year, and particularly in the first three months of 2016,” Chris Nicholson, CEO of mPulse Mobile, said in a statement. “As the healthcare industry continues to place an attuned focus on implementing strategies to lower costs and better outcomes, and recognizing the importance of meeting consumers where they are, we look forward to building on the momentum we’ve generated thus far by continuing to work with best-in-class companies to achieve their goals.”
Over the next year, mPulse Mobile plans to add roughly 20 team members across tech, behavioral science and analytics, account management, and sales and marketing.
