Certify Data Systems catches $1.6M for health care IT
Certify Data Systems, a San Jose, Calif. provider of information technology for health care systems, brought in $1.6 million of an anticipated $1.7 million round of equity from undisclosed investors. It previously raised a first round of venture capital from Ziegler HealthVest Partners.
Certify is the type of company that could benefit from the federal government’s new emphasis on digitizing health care. Its portfolio of products helps to connect private practices and hospitals for an easy, two-way exchange of information, saving time and money, the company says. It also emphasizes the security of its data transfers, claiming to offer three levels of security to comply with confidentiality requirements.
