Our take
Every year, billions of dollars are wasted in healthcare through overtreatment, failure of care coordination and administrative complexity. Cohere Health blames this on outdated processes, time-consuming manual systems and slow decision-making - which the company aims to combat with its clinical intelligence platform.
The platform automates processes to avoid care delays and friction between parties. It also provides analytics to help identify the most suitable physicians and care paths for the patient much faster and more easily. While there are other automation solutions for healthcare, Cohere stand outs by improving the whole patient journey, rather than just automating an administrative transaction.
Through partnerships with organizations like Humana and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Cohere Health serves millions of members and thousands of physicians. It has grown to be recognized as a top player in the space, as it continues to expand its offering and stands to benefit from the rising interest in clinical intelligence.
