Norwalk, Connecticut-based\u00a0Zillion\u00ae<\/strong>, which makes an cloud-based patient engagement platform, has raised $28 million in Series C fundraising in a round led by TwinFocus Capital Partners. The funding will be used expand Zillion\u2019s customer base, increase sales and focus on marketing efforts.<\/p>\n

Zillion\u2019s digital engagement platform uses face-to-face live video conferencing \u2013 including one-on-one, group and webcast \u2013 along with interactive messaging, curriculum scheduling, alerts and reminders; plus digital workforce management, analytics, monitoring, and goal tracking.<\/p>\n

\u201cEngagement is the most over-used and under-delivered word in healthcare,\u201d Zillion CEO and Chairman Jim Boyle said in a statement. \u201cDespite widespread interest in digital health programs, telephonic outreach is still the norm \u2013 resulting in vast inefficiencies across the continuum of care. Zillion\u2019s solution is all about providing a better way of communicating live and a more efficient vehicle to increase engagement, create social networks and virtualize content to deliver optimal patient care and achieve desired outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zillion works on three types of programs: preventive, such as weight loss or reaching those with prediabetes, chronic conditions like diabetes, and procedural, which includes prenatal, orthopedic or bariatric. Recently, the company announced two major partnerships with\u00a0UnitedHealth Group\u2019s Real Appeal program<\/strong>, which works with people living with diabetes, and endoscopic surgical product provider\u00a0Apollo Endosurgery<\/strong>. Both are leveraging the platform to provide patients with real human interaction, educational sessions, group discussions and live coaching.<\/p>\n

Zillion has an open API that allows clients to configure a customized digital care program, without putting pressure on healthcare providers to develop their own programs from the ground up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to focus on delivering better care, not building technology,\u201d Bill Van Wyck, chief innovation officer of Zillion told MobiHealthNews. \u201cWe provide that technology, and it’s variable and configurable whether you are a provider or payer. It works for whoever is delivering the services.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the patient side, Zillion simply requires one to download the app and follow along with one’s care team, which Van Wyck said is critical for getting patients onboard with using the programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a saying that the best technology is the technology you don\u2019t see,\u201d said Van Wyck. \u201cHealthcare organizations have really been struggling to engage patients with older technologies, and we\u2019re making it easier for them by using phased programs that are simultaneously flexible and versatile.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Wyck likened the app to some of the simplest consumer-facing technology: downloading music.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s almost like creating a play list, then delivering it song by song,\u201d he said. \u201cAll they have to focus on is the content that\u2019s being served.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
