Twistle Inc. announced the promotion of Matt Revis to president on Wednesday.
Revis was previously the company's chief operating officer. In his new role, he is responsible for company operations, top-line growth and creating infrastructure to support the company's acceleration across major health care markets, according to a release from Twistle. Those markets include health systems, life sciences and others.
Twistle offers a health-focused communications platform for patients and providers, delivering education, remote patient monitoring and "assessment forms" to connect patients with care teams, the release says. It works in the areas of cardiovascular, orthopedic and sleep disorder care, among others.
Revis' appointment will allow Kulmeet Singh, Twistle CEO, to focus on the company's market expansion as well as "data science imperatives" that will impact patient engagement, the release says. New market segments will include life sciences industries such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, as well as health insurers, according to Singh.
"In the wake of 2020, we see a greater opportunity than ever before to improve healthcare quality by ensuring that patients are activated, supported and reassured in their health journeys," Revis said in a statement. "I'm excited about the future of the company."
Singh said in a statement that Twistle experienced "significant growth" during the past year. He previously told Business First that the Covid-19 pandemic created a "tremendous growth opportunity" for the company, which he said developed a patient monitoring system to facilitate the recovery of certain Covid-19 patients. Other digital health companies, such as telehealth startup Doctor on Demand, also experienced increased activity last year.
Investors have taken notice of Twistle, which was founded in 2011.
In 2019, Twistle disclosed a $16 million investment round led by New York City-based health care private equity firm Health Enterprise Partners, Business First reported. In total, it has raised more than $20 million to date, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Twistle employs 61 people, according to Singh.
