“Twistle is a leading healthcare technology company committed to developing software that healthcare organizations and Life Science companies need to keep patients engaged in their healthcare,” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. “Their efforts to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care are deeply aligned with our mission to be the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed improvements. We’re excited to welcome the Twistle team to Health Catalyst and look forward to working together to enable healthcare organizations to achieve the promise of population health.”
“Health Catalyst’s acquisition of Twistle highlights our belief that the most promising technology in healthcare is combining AI and data with ‘digital endpoints’ for patient services to deliver value. Twistle creates endpoints that, in our experience, make it simple for us to interact asynchronously with patients in smarter ways, meeting them where they are digitally, and give our care teams the time to be even better at what they do best—delivering great care,” said Aaron Martin, managing general partner of Providence Ventures and chief digital officer of Providence. “Combined with Health Catalyst’s data and analytics technology, we expect accelerated innovation in personalizing our outreach to patients,” he added.
“The synergy between our cultures, values, and solutions will have a tremendous impact on the health and wellness of patients. Health Catalyst’s patient insights can trigger personalized outreach, and the patient’s unique profile will allow Twistle’s communication pathways to adapt to their preferences and attributes in unprecedented ways. We are excited about the prospects of our joint solutions proactively engaging at-risk populations, advancing health equity, and improving patient activation in their care,” said Kulmeet Singh, founder and CEO of Twistle. “We anticipate that care teams will realize even more efficiency gains as our automated outreach will be more intelligent and individualized, freeing their time to focus on patients that require intervention to stay on track with their medical plan of care.”
Health Catalyst expects to fund the transaction using a mix of stock and cash. The parties expect the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, to close in early Q3 2021. Further details regarding the acquisition will be reported on a Form 8-K filing that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
