Quantia Raises $10m for Physician Community Platform

In the US, mobile and web-based healthcare data/analytics and physician community platform Quantia has raised $10m in a Series B round of financing.

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Waltham, MA, the firm offers access to an online community called QuantiaMD, comprising more than 200,000 physicians. This platform uses a combination of social media, game mechanics and engagement science to help organizations collaborate with physicians. Clients include health systems, payers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers.

Funding has been led by Safeguard Scientifics with a $7.5m investment, with the remaining $2.5m coming from existing investors, including Fuse Capital.

Mike Coyne (pictured), CEO of Quantia, comments: 'This financing will help us accelerate our sales and marketing efforts and continue to grow QuantiaMD. We are thrilled to have the Safeguard team on board.'
