“The capital enables Caresyntax to deliver increased growth momentum, platform adoption and customer ROI; it also catalyzes M&A and corporate development opportunities.”

Caresyntax leverages technology and AI to collect, integrate, and analyse unique and comprehensive data, providing caregivers with real-time and long-term clinical decision support.

The company aims to enhance the patient journey, increase the operational efficiency of the hospital and drive better patient outcomes and profitability.

Caresyntax offers a scalable, medical-grade, interoperable end-to-end software, and AI platform, which enhances surgical precision and patient safety.

The platform also addresses critical data shortage and fragmentation challenges that delay the progress of precision and data-assisted surgery in the global surgical market.

Caresyntax co-founder and CEO Dennis Kogan said: “Together with our partners and investors, we are working towards deploying precision surgical tools, empowered by data and AI, to improve patient outcomes.

“This financing is not just an investment in Caresyntax, but an investment in the future of surgery. My gratitude extends to our investors who contribute to and believe in the power of smart data and AI usage in the operating room.”
