Healthcare supply chain data is scattered across multiple systems belonging to providers, suppliers and information brokers. This fragmentation makes it difficult for any single party to have comprehensive visibility into the entire supply chain.
Clarium gathers information from various sources in the healthcare supply chain, including data from hospitals, medical suppliers and information exchanges, and then takes this information and translates it into an easy to understand format.
Clarium is on a mission to transform hospital supply chain operations, and closed a $10.5 million financing round. The round was led by General Catalyst and included three health system venture arms — from Kaiser Permanente, Yale New Haven Health and Texas Medical Center.

Mindset Care, a startup that helps those with mental illness apply for Social Security disability benefits, has secured $13 million in funding.
Mindset Care has a community outreach team that works with homeless shelters, jails, veteran organizations, food drives and rehab facilities to find those who would benefit from disability benefits.
Mindset Care then acts as a representative for these individuals, assisting with Social Security benefits applications by answering questions, helping complete forms and gathering necessary documentation.
The company’s services are free to the individual, and Mindset is paid by the Social Security office if the application is accepted.
