Healthcare technology company Clarium recently announced a $10.5 million strategic funding round led by General Catalyst, with support from Kaiser Permanente Ventures and others. This funding brings Clarium’s total capital raised to $16 million. The company also introduced Astra OS, an AI-powered workflow platform and data ecosystem that helps providers optimize and automate their supply chain operations.
With the new funding, Clarium plans to expand its team and integrate further with existing partners to improve supply chain operations for hospitals and health systems. The company will also continue to invest in generative AI and large language model technologies to enhance its software platform.
The healthcare industry has long struggled with fragmented data across multiple systems, leading to challenges in inventory management and workforce efficiency. Clarium aims to address these issues with its technology, which has already helped health system partners achieve over $10 million in cost savings and productivity gains.
Steve Liou, Clarium’s Founder and CEO, highlighted the company’s mission to help healthcare organizations improve their supply chain operations and be better prepared for future challenges. General Catalyst partner Reva Nohria praised Clarium’s innovative platform and potential to drive efficiency in supply chain operations.
Yale New Haven Health’s Vice President of Supply Chain, Jacqueline Epright, also expressed enthusiasm for Clarium’s technology, stating that over 300 users across seven departments have already benefited from the platform. Clarium’s Astra OS is set to revolutionize supply chain operations for healthcare providers, paving the way for improved patient outcomes and cost savings.
