Healthcare Specific AI Platform Lumiata Raises Funding

No-code products speedily predict underwriting and actuarial factors enabling extreme risk reduction and cost savings for healthcare companies

Lumiata, the healthcare-specific AI platform, announced that it has completed $14 million in Series B funding, led by Defy.vc and AllegisNL Capital along with existing investors Khosla Ventures and Blue Venture Fund.

Lumiata takes disparate healthcare-specific datasets and has them machine learning-ready within weeks. Once the data is analyzed using AI, Lumiata is able to identify underwriting risks, surface opportunities to reduce costs, and enable better care by providing reliable predictions to patient outcomes. Lumiata is the only AI platform able to make predictions down to the individual member level while protecting members’ privacy.

In many instances, Lumiata has identified hundreds of millions of dollars in risks on their customers’ books that they were previously unaware they had. Customers are able to reduce costs and provide more responsible and responsive healthcare to their members. Lumiata is cloud-based, fully scalable, and integrates with existing systems through APIs.

“Lumiata is breaking new ground in the adoption of AI across healthcare’s core functions of underwriting, cost management, and more individualized patient care. We relaunched Lumiata two years ago with a mission to democratize AI to reduce the cost of care and improve outcomes.

Lumiata will use the funding to scale its enterprise-grade AI platform and invest in customer acquisition and success. The company also plans to open a new office in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2021.
