Our readers know better than anyone that building scalable digital health solutions can be a years-long voyage, which is why Huma Therapeutics closed $80M in Series D funding “to help cut that time down to days.”
Huma will be the first one to let you know that it’s the “Shopify for Digital Health,” offering modular platforms / software development kits that help provider orgs and pharmaceutical companies with use cases such as:
- multi-channel patient engagement across entire populations
- scalable remote patient monitoring programs
- companion apps to support patients through treatment and drug therapies
- digital clinical trials, including de-centralised trials to accelerate research
That technology has powered projects in over 3,000 hospitals and clinics, with 1.8M active users across its products in 70+ countries.
- Huma’s partners include providers like the NHS and Johns Hopkins University, as well as pharma giants like Bayer and AstraZeneca – which also participated in the round.
- The Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) behind Huma’s products also recently became the only configurable, disease-agnostic solution fully cleared by regulators in the U.S., E.U., and Saudi Arabia.
Up next is the Huma Cloud Platform, a no-code app builder that enables other 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.
- The best part? Huma’s SaMD clearance “solves all of the regulatory hurdles that developers usually face, freeing up their time and energy” to scale their apps.
Put it all together, and Huma’s tech infrastructure, partner roster, and regulatory grounding make a compelling case that we’re closer to a “Shopify for Digital Health” than we’ve ever been.
The Takeaway
Shopify brought an online presence within arms reach of millions of vendors that wouldn’t have had the resources to pull it off without them, and Huma is looking to make that same experience possible in digital health. Although healthcare is a far cry from slinging t-shirts and cookies, enabling people to focus on their craft instead of technical potholes seems like an end-goal worth striving for in any industry.
