Participated · Equity · Jan 2025
IntusCare builds predictive analytics platforms aimed at improving outcomes for geriatric care providers, with a focus on managing dual‑eligible, socially vulnerable, and clinically complex seniors. Its core offerings include solutions for revenue integrity, population health, and utilization management. The company plans to launch CareHub, a comprehensive care management platform, and expand its existing product suite. IntusCare also intends to accelerate its artificial intelligence research to enhance user experiences for healthcare providers and staff. Founded in 2019 and led by CEO Robbie Felton, the company is based in Providence, RI. The article reports a recent financing that increases the company’s capital base. Intus Care offers a SaaS platform that integrates with electronic health records, claims and accounting software to identify clinical risks and trends in long-term care facilities. The product surfaces individual patient snapshots and population-level patterns to help care coordinators, facility managers and social workers make proactive care plans. The company aims to scale a high-quality, high-value model of care nationwide by enabling organizations that provide care to use data to improve outcomes. Founders built the product to address disparate data across the long-term care continuum and to prevent events such as falls by identifying patterns. Intus plans to use new capital primarily to hire engineers, product staff, and sales and marketing personnel to accelerate growth. The startup reports 50% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth this year and operates as a SaaS business with care organizations as its customers. Intus Care offers a big-data platform that empowers long-term care providers and PACE Programs to use patient data for quality management and proactive identification of at-risk geriatric patients. Founded by Robbie Felton, Evan Jackson and Alex Rothberg, the company validated product-market fit and demonstrated meaningful platform usage across small rural and large urban PACE organizations. It recently raised an additional $3.1M to scale its impact, expand go-to-market efforts, and accelerate hiring to support growth. Short-term deployment of funds will focus on expanding partnerships with PACE Programs and embedding the technology into PACE quality playbooks. The company cites measurable outcomes from deployments, including a 60-patient Michigan PACE center that saved roughly $147,000 in three months after reducing inpatient admissions by 54%. Longer-term, Intus Care aims to serve all Medicare/Medicaid dual-eligible high-needs older adults and create a new standard for quality management in geriatric care. Intus Care builds a data-driven predictive analytics platform that helps long-term care facilities identify highest-risk patients and enable earlier interventions. The product integrates disparate EHR sources through customized onboarding, creating unique data fields and backend adjustments for each client to work around interoperability gaps. The team prioritizes frontline usability, designing tools for certified nursing assistants and multidisciplinary care teams to share information and coordinate on a single platform. While initially focused on value-based care organizations, Intus expects its insights to deliver value in fee-for-service settings as well. The company runs tight customer feedback loops (product champions, in-app feedback, focus groups) to drive iterative product development. Intus also leverages a diverse advisory board spanning geriatric providers, Fortune 50 technology leadership, and academic researchers. The startup has raised seed funding to support continued product development and commercialization.
