I’m doing a round up of the big EMR systems and some of the promising new ones. I think I may have over done it on the pharma companies when I did that round up, so I’m going to be a little briefer here. I will try to do the 5 most popular EMRs and a few emerging ones. Today is Altera Digital Health.
Altera Digital Health
I had never heard of Altera Digital Health, but in my research I saw it show up in this article from Becker Hospital Review naming the top 5 EMRs and, lo and behold, Altera Digital Health was ranked #1!
So, I thought I better look into them.
Altera Digital Health was founded in 2014 by CEO Veera Anantha and COO Naresh Koka and is based in San Francisco.
Their main product is CareSpace, which is designed to integrate with existing healthcare systems to enable providers to access real-time clinical data, analytics, and insights. The platform is powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning that can identify patterns and trends in patient data.
Altera seeks to differentiate itself from other EMR solutions by offering value-added services, like patient engagement tools, and custom reporting.
Altera has raised over $10 million in venture capital funding from investors including Amplify Partners, Lux Capital, and Liquid 2 Ventures.
Altera has been recognized for its innovative approach to healthcare technology, receiving a few awards and distinctions in recent years. In 2019, the company was named a "Best Place to Work in Healthcare" by Modern Healthcare magazine, and was also recognized as one of the "Top Healthcare IT Companies to Watch" by Becker's Hospital Review. Altera was also selected as a finalist in the "Most Promising Company" category at the annual UCSF Health Hub Pitch Competition in 2020.
