UT Horizon Fund company unveils cutting-edge data platform for health care

HOUSTON — Decisio Health, one of 17 startups funded by the UT Horizon Fund, announced today it has launched the Decisio Health Clinical Intelligence Platform.

The Clinical Intelligence Platform gathers and interprets data from existing hospital monitoring systems to provide the most current and valuable information in one easy-to-view location at the bedside. The Platform’s bedside display shows vital trends and lab snapshots, giving care teams immediate access to the data they need to treat their patients. In addition, it digitizes and displays a hospital’s own protocols for diagnosis and treatment, reducing the variability of care which can lead to better patient outcomes.

“Decisio Health is a perfect example of an ambitious startup that’s taking a remarkable technology developed by UTHealth researchers into a commercially viable enterprise determined to change the health care landscape,” said Julie Goonewardene, UT System Associate Vice Chancellor for Innovation and Strategic Investment and Managing Director of the UT Horizon Fund. “The UT Horizon Fund is dedicated to supporting companies like Decisio Health that are accelerating the pace of moving innovations to the marketplace.”

Decisio Health’s CEO Bryan Haardt said: “The Clinical Intelligence Platform was created for clinicians, by clinicians with a focus on providing real-time relevant data at the point of care. By arming clinicians with this information, they are able to be more patient-focused and proactive in their decision making via simple, visual and instantaneous access to the most critical patient data and trends.”

The UT Horizon Fund invests across all industry sectors and, with $50 million in committed capital, strives to be a collaborative co-investor and committed long-term partner.
