Medication Automation Company MDI Health Raises $20 Million Dan Anderson

• MDI Health announced it raised $20 million. These are the details.

MDI Health – an AI-powered platform that automates the optimization of personalized medication treatment at scale – announced it has raised $20 million in Series A funding led by Intel Capital with participation from Maverick Ventures Israel and existing investors Hanaco Ventures, Welltech Ventures, Arc Impact, Basad Ventures, Fresh.Fund, Jumpspeed Ventures and former SVP of Optum Richard Montwill.

MDI Health is equipping clinicians with the technology they need to prevent adverse drug reactions, which are known as the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S., resulting in over 270,000 deaths each year.

The current medication management solutions are largely alert-based, focusing on drug interactions and requiring laborious processes. MDI Health’s AI medication management platform is autonomous and hyper-personalized. And it analyzes thousands of influencing factors to identify medication-related risks and provides a recommendation to mitigate such risks in a matter of minutes instead of hours, driving significant cost savings and improved health outcomes at scale.

The Series A funding — which brings the total financing to $26 million — will enable MDI Health to meet rising customer demand and scale its U.S. and Israeli R&D teams to drive product development. And as part of the fundraise, Intel Capital Investment Director Yoni Greifman will join MDI Health’s board of directors.
