Our take
Medical data is a highly valuable resource for delivering actionable insights into the U.S. healthcare system. However, analysing enormous data sets to produce these insights is a fragmented and time-consuming process.
Nuna Incorporated uses cloud computing technology to provide an integrated data analysis platform for the U.S. healthcare sector. The startup unifies many analytic services into a single package, including tools that handle the aggregation, processing, and analysis of data. The data is collected from employers, health plans, and insurance policies to identify cost-saving opportunities to increase access to quality care.
Improving the U.S. healthcare system through mass data analysis is nothing new, but Nuna's cloud-based methods present opportunities for massive improvements in the speed and quality of producing valuable insights. Ultimately, the company aims to help healthcare providers make quality healthcare more affordable to low-income Americans. Exemplifying its successes, Nuna was selected to become part of the Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Health Tech Ecosystem, thus integrating the company into the US healthcare system.
