UPMC Enterprises has joined a $13 series A financing round for BrainCheck, a digital health startup that uses AI to assess and care for cognitive conditions.

Pittsburgh-based UPMC is among the 500 healthcare organizations employing the platform for screening and managing mild cognitive impairment and dementia-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

“We look forward to our continued engagement with BrainCheck and bringing it to more clinicians supporting patients who could benefit from earlier detection, long-term monitoring, and scalable cognitive care within and beyond our health system said Adele Towers, MD, senior clinical advisor to UPMC Enterprises, the venture capital arm of UPMC, in a Feb. 26 news release.

BrainCheck said it plans to use the funding to expand workflow integration, patient monitoring, primary and specialty care deployment, and AI assistance for value-based care.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
