Addressing Healthcare’s Infrastructure Problem

The healthcare industry is undergoing a paradigm shift, with care increasingly delivered in the home rather than traditional hospital settings. However, current healthcare infrastructure is ill-equipped to support this transition. Outdated systems, relying on manual lab integrations, faxes, and siloed devices, lead to:

• Delayed Care: Lengthy integration processes slow down the launch of new services.
• Missed Diagnoses: Manual follow-ups and inconvenient patient access result in unfulfilled lab orders.
• Operational Strain: Care teams waste valuable time on administrative tasks.
• High Costs and Low Adherence: Inefficient workflows and inflated lab test costs hinder patient adherence.

Junction: The Infrastructure for Patient-Centered Care

Junction provides a modern infrastructure that makes patient data accessible, actionable, and automated across lab testing and device integrations. 

Key features include:

• Seamless Lab Ordering: Enables lab test ordering across all 50 states, with results from major labs like LabCorp and Quest, via in-person or at-home testing.
• Automated Workflows: Reduces manual work for clinical teams, ensuring seamless data flow.
• Real-Time Patient Updates: Improves patient adherence with status updates and reminders.
• Device and Wearable Connectivity: Integrates with over 500 wearables and medical devices, providing a longitudinal view of patient health.

Junction has experienced rapid growth, expanding its integrations to serve over 140 healthcare organizations, including digital health leaders like Found, Parsley Health, and Evidation. The company supports over 500,000 lab tests annually and manages over 2 million connected devices.

This significant investment will enable Junction to scale its platform, expand its team, and grow its API network, empowering healthcare organizations to deliver smarter and more connected patient care. Alongside the funding announcement, the company unveiled its new brand, Junction, reflecting its role in bridging gaps between fragmented healthcare systems.
