Austin-based MDisrupt announced earlier this week that it raised $6 million to expand its digital health marketplace platform, which helps digital health startups obtain the real-world performance data they need to grow their business.
The funding came from Bren Investments, Matthew Holt, Chantell Preston, GRAIL co-founder Jessica Owens and AKESOgen co-founders Mark Bouzyk and Robert Boisjoli.
Co-founded in 2019 by Ruby Gadelrab and Ragan Hart, MDisrupt has developed a marketplace that connects digital health companies, like Everlywell, to health experts.
Now, MDisrupt is expanding its platform to help patients and their providers make data-driven healthcare decisions.
Gadelrab, the startup’s CEO, said in a statement that the digital health industry is now large enough to need its own enablement platforms, standards and benchmarks.
“The company’s approach consists of three elements: people, platform and data. The platform will digitize solutions for three critical pain points for innovators — access to experts on-demand, clinical early adopters and real-world performance data,” she said. “The output of the platform reflects the data that will influence key decision-makers and may ultimately be a benchmark for all users. Each element builds on the last and comes together to form an intelligent technology-based solution for digital health innovators and the people who use them.”
