All total, Bessemer Venture Partners, New Enterprise Associates and Maverick Capital Ventures have invested $2.1 million in seed funding for Docent Health.
The software Docent is working on is designed to improve the patient experience, increase patient satisfaction and help hospitals earn the customer loyalty of their patients, Docent Health CEO Paul Roscoe told Reuters. The cloud-based software platform will allow caregivers and patients to stay informed, log their preferences and provide constant feedback.
Already, the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York has signed on as Docent’s first customer, and Mr. Roscoe expects several other nationally known hospital groups to join soon.
