A Clinically Responsible AI Intelligence Layer
Cascala Health delivers a clinically responsible AI intelligence layer that embeds real-time insights directly into clinicians’ existing workflows. The company’s platform is built around three pillars:
- Clarity™: For AI-driven data curation and summarization.
- Continuity™: For longitudinal patient views and dynamic risk scoring.
- Copilot: For in-workflow activation.
The platform integrates seamlessly with any web-based EMR or population-health platform. It helps accelerate decision-making across care transitions, chronic disease management, and value-based care programs.
Early Success and Future Growth
Cascala Health’s care transitions platform is already in active deployments with early customers, including one of the nation’s largest Medicare ACOs and over 1,000 acute and post-acute facilities. The platform currently orchestrates care for more than 300,000 patients across thousands of post-acute transitions. Cascala’s AI is able to aggregate and compress hundreds of pages of hospital and outpatient records into a single actionable transition plan. This reduces manual effort for care coordinators and facility intake teams by more than 50%.
“This financing marks a pivotal milestone for Cascala,” said Matt A. Murphy, CEO and Co-Founder of Cascala Health. He added that the backing from investors and new strategic partners will “accelerate our delivery of clinically responsible, real-time AI that empowers care teams and skilled nursing operators to close critical gaps, reduce avoidable readmissions and drive durable value across the post-acute continuum”.
