Geneva, February 20, 2020 – Endeavour Vision led the Series B funding round for Boston-based IntelyCare, along with Kaiser Permanente Ventures and Generator Ventures, allowing the company to raise $45 million in new equity and debt financing.
With aging populations and an increase in chronic diseases, more people need acute and chronic care management. At the same time, the number of nurses in the workforce is decreasing. Research indicates that by 2030, one million nurses will retire in the U.S. while an increasing number are leaving the profession due to overtime demands and burnout. These factors combined are increasing the strain on the healthcare system and the demand for nurses.
IntelyCare has developed a proven and highly efficient solution that allows more nurses to be part of the workforce by supporting a flexible schedule around their personal and family commitments. IntelyCare also brings a benefit to post-acute care facilities, which would otherwise be short-staffed and in some cases, penalised due to gaps in delivering care for their patients.
The company’s platform is today used by over 400 facilities and over 11,000 nurses and has helped facilities staff 2,000,000 hours of what would have been a gap in care.
“As an investor in innovative medical and digital health technologies, we look for companies with disruptive solutions to the challenges facing today’s healthcare system,” said Rob Barmann, Senior Investment Director at Endeavour Vision. “IntelyCare’s rapid and significant growth demonstrates the value it is bringing to the nursing sector. With a unique technology and an experienced team, the company is well-positioned to develop further, and we are proud to support it in its next phase of growth.”
