PRESS RELEASE — DALLAS, TX/May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — OptMyCare™, a clinically engineered AI platform in healthcare & risk management, announced today that it raised $3 million in Series A financing from a robust group of investors led by LiveOak Ventures of Austin, Texas. This infusion of additional capital will enable OptMyCare™ to accelerate its customer acquisition plans, continuously refine its technology, onboard key management personnel, and add experienced healthcare & technology leaders. Total investment to date is $4.5 million.

OptMyCare™ is a scalable, secure, and cloud-based SaaS product. It combines precision analytics with actionable risk stratification solutions across multiple chronic conditions and delivers recommendations that are based on real-time input. The product leverages clinically-engineered algorithms that take data from 55 chronic clinical diagnoses — their associated procedures and claims costs — and facilitates rapid and accurate risk identification. These predictive and prescriptive solutions actively help risk bearers improve workflow, lowering the time and cost involved with this process.

In response to this exciting announcement, Dr. Saravanan Balamuthusamy, CEO and co-founder of OptMyCare™ says, “The need for a clinically driven AI solution to identify and mitigate rising risk across multi-chronic diseases is lacking, OptMyCare is the first machine learning platform that comprehensively addresses holistic care incorporating social determinants of health (SDOH) and behavioral health while mitigating risk progression and healthcare cost. We are excited to partner with LiveOak Ventures to expand our platform to evolve into an industry leader in AI solutions for value-based care.”

Dr. Antony E. Pfaffle, co-founder, adds, “Providing patients, their providers, and payors with relevant information to empower decision-making and appropriation of resources helps improve the efficiency of our healthcare system.”
