Our take
The existing healthcare system struggles with ensuring that all stakeholders - including life science companies, payers, providers, and employers - are motivated to prioritize patient outcomes and value-based care.
Recognizing this misalignment is Arbital Health, a California-based startup leveraging technology to design and measure outcome-based contracts, acting as an impartial entity to assess whether agreed-upon outcomes are fulfilled. The company's initial product offerings include value assessments for health vendors, value analysis for payers, and actuarial advisory services.
Recently, the startup closed a successful funding round and acquired Santa Barbara Actuaries, a leading firm in value-based care and data analytics. These strategic moves and strong financial backing set the stage for a transformative impact on the industry.
