Hearst acquires CareInSync
Hearst Corporation’s healthcare group, Hearst Health, has acquired CareInSync, a software solutions company providing a real-time, mobile platform to improve patient care by enhancing communications between providers and patients. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based CareInSync, will become part of Zynx Health, which provides evidence- and experience-based clinical improvement solutions. Zynx Health, part of the Hearst Health network, began its successful relationship with CareInSync in 2012 in the form of an equity investment from Hearst’s healthcare venture fund as part of a syndicated equity funding initiative involving Hearst and other investors.
CareInSync’s technology enables its customers to connect interdisciplinary care teams that include hospital clinicians, aftercare providers and community-based service providers. CareInSync was founded in 2010 by Siva Subramanian, PhD, as a Mobile Care Navigation Network that goes beyond traditional inpatient communication and texting solutions. The CareInSync Carebook solution provides a HIPAA-compliant communication platform for the entire care team as well as context-specific messages around a person’s health milestones and evidence-based guidelines for the management and coordination of care transitions.
Effective immediately, CareInSync solutions are now available through Zynx Health.
