Carenostics is deployed within a system’s EHR and identifies chronic disease patients. The tool then alerts clinicians within their current workflows. Edison, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Health has used the tool to identify up to three times more chronic kidney disease patients, according to a Sept. 14 news release.

Along with participating in the round, Mr. Hilzinger joined the company’s advisory board. Venture capital firm M13 led the financing round. 

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.
