US-based Keona develops software to “optimize the front line of communication for patients and their providers”. Its main product is Health Desk, a contact center and patient access platform, which Keona says is “utilized by millions across the US and Canada”.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The funding will go towards “advancing automation” and maintaining client service levels.
