Washington, DC-based healthcare technology startup Socially Determined announced at HLTH that it has raised over $7.3 million in Series A funding. Investors include Ziegler Link-Age Funds, ProMedica, 3M, OSF HealthCare, and LRVHealth.
Socially Determined is a healthcare analytics company focused entirely on the science and measurement of the social determinants of health (SDOH). SocialScape, the company’s flagship analytics product, quantifies SDOH risk and delivers unprecedented insights into how SDOH impact cost, utilization, and outcomes. Using advanced analytics, proprietary algorithms, and machine learning models, Socially Determined offers a comprehensive approach to uncover SDOH risk and change the way healthcare organizations address critical social issues.
“Our technology integrates clinical disease burden, utilization patterns, social risk and demographic data—and creates a business case for a health outcomes program,” stated Trenor Williams, MD, CEO and co-founder of Socially Determined. “Addressing issues like food insecurity and housing instability not only positively impacts the lives of individuals, but it provides a real cost-savings to health systems, plans, and business stakeholders.”
