Briya secures $5.5 million Seed round for blockchain-powered healthcare network

The company aims to achieve the ‘holy grail’ of data: longitudinal, linked, and live

Israeli company Briya, which offers a blockchain-powered healthcare data exchange network, has today announced that it has emerged from stealth and raised a $5.5 million Seed round. The funding was led by Amiti Ventures and included participation from Insight Partners and Innocare Health Investments.

“Existing healthcare data infrastructure is siloed, inefficient, and ineffective,” explained Fabio Lievano, AbbVie VP Safety Science, and Briya’s Advisor. “Researchers and healthcare organizations are being presented data in a vacuum, making it difficult to provide the patient with the most accurate treatment. Briya connects the data to immediately display a complete picture of the patient’s comprehensive history.”
