Notable participation included UPMC Enterprises, Tampa General Hospital (TGH) Ventures, expanded participation from existing investors Cone Health Ventures, Oval Park Capital and Grayhawk Capital, as well as local Triangle venture groups such as the Carolina Angel Network and the Triangle Tweener Fund.
With participation from two nationally renowned academic institutions—UPMC Enterprises, the innovation, commercialization, and venture capital arm of the health system UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and TGH Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Tampa General Hospital—Medicom welcomes the strategic partnerships and the clinical and research expertise they bring as the company enters its next phase of growth.
“As we continue to strengthen our core enterprise imaging interoperability platform and unlock transformative insights from Real-World Data, we are excited to have two extraordinary partners join our team,” said Michael Rosenberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Medicom. “Medicom’s alignment with UPMC’s and TGH’s missions around interoperability and RWD&E will accelerate the platform’s evolution and commercialization, and we are excited to see the impact these partnerships will have on our thousands of Medicom Connect and Intellect user organizations.”
“At UPMC Enterprises, we have a front row seat to the transformation that health care is undergoing as data becomes more accessible and interoperability improves,” said Brent Burns, Executive Vice President of digital solutions at UPMC Enterprises. “Medical imaging files and metadata are critical to supporting clinical and academic research to develop novel therapeutics.
