Carta Healthcare®, a company whose mission is to improve patient care by harnessing the value of clinical data, announced today the final closing of its $25 million series B financing, thanks to additional investments from leading health systems Memorial Hermann Health System and UnityPoint Health.

“There has never been a time in healthcare when it has been more important for us to embrace automation,” said Matt Warrens, managing director of UnityPoint Ventures. “Automation in healthcare isn’t about closing the gap between need and lack of clinicians, it’s about equipping our clinicians with tools they need to be able to continue to provide high quality care more efficiently.”
