【美国医疗科技公司Residex收购同业Kevala 强化养老护理AI布局】

总部位于西雅图的医疗人力资源平台Kevala近日被丹佛科技公司Residex收购,交易金额未披露。此次并购将整合双方在养老护理领域的技术优势——Residex的AI临床管理系统将与Kevala旗下Quin平台的智能排班、护工资质管理功能形成互补,共同构建覆盖人力调配与健康管理的数字化解决方案。

Kevala成立于2020年,由连续创业者Todd Owens创立,其核心团队曾成功运作多家被收购的科技企业。该公司先后完成两轮融资,总额达2100万美元(约合人民币1.5亿元),现有28名员工。创始人Owens指出,疫情引发的医疗人力市场动荡及AI技术需求激增,加速了行业对智能管理系统的接纳。

Residex表示,此次收购将巩固其在养老科技市场的领先地位。目前美国养老机构正面临严重用工荒,两家公司技术融合后,可通过AI优化人力配置与临床服务流程,提升护理质量。公开资料显示,Residex的AI系统已应用于长者健康档案、用药管理等核心场景。

总部位于西雅图的初创企业Kevala(专注于为医疗机构提供人员配置与管理解决方案)已被丹佛科技公司Residex收购。Residex同样运用人工智能技术,为养老社区提供档案管理等服务。本周一发布的新闻声明中未披露具体交易条款。

Kevala于2020年从西雅图创业孵化器Pioneer Square Labs剥离成立。该公司在2021年1月完成400万美元融资后,又于2022年2月获得1210万美元注资。其联合创始人兼首席执行官托德·欧文斯曾执掌人力资源公司TalentWise(后被Sterling Talent Solutions收购),并担任过Appuri(被DocuSign收购)和Azuqua(被Okta收购)的CEO。

Residex表示,此次收购将通过为平台新增人员配置优化功能,巩固其在老年护理科技领域的市场地位。该公司利用AI技术管理住户健康档案、用药管理、护理计划、评估及临床记录,而Kevala旗下软件Quin则能帮助医疗机构排班调度、管理劳动力资源池及追踪护理人员资质认证。

"本次收购印证了我们运用AI解决行业最紧迫运营挑战——确保高效人力管理的愿景,"欧文斯在声明中表示,"通过整合Quin的劳动力智能系统与Residex的临床专业经验,我们将打造一个强力生态系统,最终提升住户的生活质量。"欧文斯在领英发文中将这段五年创业历程形容为"疯狂之旅",提及新冠疫情爆发、医疗劳动力市场剧烈波动,以及"市场对运用AI与自动化改善护理服务的迫切需求"。

截至今年四月,Kevala拥有28名员工,累计融资达2100万美元。

Seattle-based Kevala, a startup that helps healthcare facilities find and manage workers, has been acquired by Residex, a Denver company that also uses AI to manage records and more for senior living communities.
Terms of the deal were not shared in a news release on Monday.
Kevala was spun out of Seattle’s Pioneer Square Labs in 2020. The company raised $4 million in January 2021 and another $12.1 million in February 2022.
Co-founder and CEO Todd Owens previously led staffing company TalentWise, which was acquired by Sterling Talent Solutions; was CEO at Appuri (acquired by DocuSign); and was CEO at Azuqua (acquired by Okta).
According to Residex, the acquisition will strengthen the company’s position in the senior care technology market by adding staffing optimization to platform.
Residex uses AI to help manage resident health records, medication administration, care planning, assessments, and clinical documentation. Kevala’s software, called Quin, enables healthcare facilities to schedule workers, organize the labor pool and track caregiver credentials.
“This acquisition validates our vision of using AI to solve the industry’s most pressing operational challenge of ensuring topline workforce management,” Owens said in a statement. By combining Quin’s workforce intelligence with Residex’s clinical expertise, we’re creating a powerful ecosystem that ultimately enhances the quality of life for residents.”
In a post on LinkedIn, Owens called it a “wild” five startup years, citing the outbreak of COVID-19, huge fluctuations in the healthcare labor market, and the “market desire to leverage AI and automation to improve care delivery.”
As of April of this year, Kevala employed 28 people and had raised $21 million.
