Caduceus Capital Partners, Wavemaker 360 Health Invest in UptimeHealth

UptimeHealth has raised $4.5 million in Series A capital from Caduceus Capital Partners and Wavemaker Three-Sixty Health (Wavemaker 360). 

UptimeHealth plans to use the money to accelerate its growth in the healthcare services market. “The teams at Caduceus Capital Partners and Wavemaker 360 have deep healthcare industry expertise, and we’re fortunate to have their partnership and guidance,” UptimeHealth Co-Founder/CEO Jinesh Patel said. “We have built a lot of momentum in recent months and look forward to serving even more clients in 2023.”
 
Healthcare is rapidly moving away from hospitals closer to people’s homes, a shift that is spurred by advances in technology, new regulations, value-based payment models and consumer demand. UptimeHealth was created to support this transformation. UptimeHealth’s software platform provides administrators and operators of healthcare facilities with the ability to manage compliance tasks, predict equipment repair and replacement needs, and tap into the largest network of qualified biomed technicians to service medical devices.
