Digital health company Welltok acquired Predilytics, a US-based healthcare IT analytics provider backed by internet company Google and wireless technology maker Qualcomm, on Tuesday for an undisclosed sum.
Predilytics’ machine learning technology, aimed at healthcare providers, enables recommendations by assessing patients and categorising them by risks and how responsive they may be to a treatment.
The technology uses 1,600 variables to figure out which patients need help, which ones want help and how they can be helped.
Welltok will integrate Predilytics’ technology into its own CafeWell Health Optimisation platform. CafeWell offers users a personalised insight into health plans, at-risk providers and population health managers.
Qualcomm Ventures, the corporate venturing arm of Qualcomm, led a $10m series C round for Predilytics in December 2014 that also included venture capital firms Flybridge Capital Partners, Foundation Medical and Highland Capital.
Foundation Medical had already provided $4.5m in series B funding for Predilytics in 2013, following a $6m series A round backed by Google’s corporate venturing unit Google Ventures, Flybridge and Highland in 2012.
