CHICAGO – June 2, 2016 – First Analysis, a leading venture capital investor, has made a new investment in Apixio. Headquartered in San Mateo, Calif., Apixio brings advanced data to healthcare by extracting and analyzing previously trapped unstructured medical record data, giving healthcare payers and providers unprecedented access to groundbreaking insights. The $19.3 million Series D round, which was led by SSM Partners, will enable Apixio to advance and scale products powered by its cognitive computing platform, further enabling insights for optimal patient care.

The Series D funding comes as Apixio experiences strong momentum and increasing demand for its HCC Profiler solution, which mines unstructured medical records, for an accurate view of a patient’s chronic conditions so payers and providers can deliver better care. Apixio’s cognitive computing platform has analyzed data from more than six million patients, achieving 210 percent year-over-year growth in patients analyzed.
