Unite Us, a New York-based health care technology company, announced Tuesday it acquired Carrot Health for an undisclosed amount.
The deal merges Carrot Health, which has the nation's largest consumer and health data set, with Unite Us' software that has the ability to coordinate and predict health care needs.
Minneapolis-based Carrot Health uses dozens of data points to determine barriers to good health based on social, behavioral, environmental and economic factors. Unite Us works by building coordinated-care networks of health and social service providers, allowing providers to send referrals and track users' health.
Unite Us announced earlier this year it had raised over $150 million and was valued at $1.6 billion. An early investor in Unite Us was Town Hall Ventures, a health care firm founded by Andy Slavitt.
"With our networks that truly track outcomes and address social factors, we will immediately enable our combined partner base of community-based organizations, governments, payers, and providers to accelerate their impact together, leveraging advanced analytics that improve health for their populations and communities," said Dan Brillman, co-founder and CEO of Unite Us, in a statement.
At the onset of the pandemic, Carrot Health developed a Covid-19 Risk Index, which allows users to view data to identify their risk of catching the virus.
Kurt Waltenbaugh, founder and CEO of Carrot Health, was recently recognized as a Health Care Hero by the Business Journal.
"This combination is the realization of the vision we had from day one to capitalize on the understanding of the need and translating that into meaningful action to improve people's lives," Waltenbaugh said about the merger in a statement.
