Huma isn’t wasting any time putting its $60M of Series D funding to work, acquiring digital triage and consultation platform eConsult less than a few months after closing the round.
The move aligns with Huma’s vision of becoming the “Shopify for Digital Health” by equipping provider orgs and pharma companies with modular platforms / software development kits for a wide range of use cases.
- The Huma Cloud Platform is a no-code app builder that enables companies to spin up their own solutions using a combination of GenAI prompts and pre-built templates.
- The platform includes a library of modules and device connectivity tools for any therapeutic area, APIs and integration capabilities, and a marketplace that creates a flywheel of new features from existing users.
eConsult’s intelligent triage platform adds an entrypoint to Huma’s ecosystem by guiding patients through a series of medical questions before determining an appropriate pathway.
- From there, eConsult gives physicians a summary of any flags or considerations to review, then connects them to a “comprehensive array of digital health solutions” such as appointment booking, screening tools, or virtual consults.
Those capabilities strengthen the foundation of Huma Workspace for Health Systems, which was announced alongside the acquisition to provide seamless access to Huma’s library of pre-built modules and solution marketplace. Those support:
- Check-in and Triage: Captures patient symptoms and clinical history to prioritize patients with immediate needs and optimize intake.
- Communication Suite: Equips clinicians with tools to manage patients remotely, such as a full messaging suite, video, scheduling, and EHR integration.
- Remote Patient Monitoring: Allows hospitals to quickly scale applications for diabetes, hypertension, CKD, and other conditions.
- Proactive Engagement: Automates direct patient communication for screening, education, and engagement campaigns across entire populations.
Put it all together, and Huma is assembling the pieces to an end-to-end platform for delivering virtual care at scale, with over 3,000 hospitals and clinics already using it to power projects for nearly two million active users.
The Takeaway
End-to-end digital health platforms aren’t built in a day, and the acquisition of eConsult confirms that Huma isn’t afraid of using M&A to speed up the process. Huma is full-speed-ahead with adding new capabilities and growing its footprint, so it wouldn’t be surprising if more acquisitions were right around the corner.
