Protenus Raises $11 Million

Healthcare compliance analytics company Protenus today announced an $11 million in new investment. The round was co-led by F-Prime Capital Partners and Kaiser Permanente Ventures, with Arthur Ventures, Lionbird Venture Capital, and Cognosante Ventures also participating.

The Protenus platform is currently used by top health systems and academic medical centers across the country. It uses artificial intelligence to analyze every single action inside a medical records system.
