Medication mismanagement costs the healthcare industry a huge amount of money every year, and what's more, it has a significant impact on patient outcomes. Arine solves this problem with its comprehensive medication management solutions.
Arine was founded by an experienced team of health experts and senior developers, whose joint expertise has shaped the platform considerably. Arine improves ROI for health plan providers, while improving patient satisfaction and reducing readmission rates. Confidence in Arine's tech is riding high in the industry, with the company raising an impressive amount of funding since its launch.
The health plan industry is changing rapidly, with many startups looking to disrupt outdated processes. However, Arine's considerable impact, financial backing and naming on the Inc 5000's 2024 list of fastest-growing private companies is a testament to its continued scalability.
