Kareo Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based medical office software and services for small medical practices, today announced it has been named to Forbes’ list of America’s 100 Most Promising Companies for the second consecutive year.

Listed at number 65 overall and in the top three healthcare technology companies, Kareo was identified by Forbes as one of the top privately held, high-growth companies in the US. Each year Forbes evaluates hundreds of companies to find those with the winning combination of demonstrated growth in customers and employees, strong leadership, financial results, valuable partnerships, and overall market potential.

“It’s an honor to be recognized among this outstanding group of growth companies for the second year in a row,” said Dan Rodrigues, CEO and founder of Kareo. “Like many of our peer companies on the Forbes list, Kareo has a bold company vision. We believe that cloud-based technology and services can fundamentally improve the success of physicians in building successful, patient-focused medical practices and appreciate Forbes highlighting our success as we work to make our vision a reality.”

Kareo’s recognition as a 2014 Forbes Most Promising Company follows a year of significant company achievements and milestones, including:

  • The rapid growth of Kareo Practice Management, the company’s cloud-based solution that serves more than 20,000 medical providers who processed over $6 billion in billing claims through Kareo’s platform last year.
  • The launch of Kareo EHR, the company’s free electronic health record solution that generated more than 5,000 sign-ups in its first ten months.
  • The introduction of Kareo’s revenue cycle management solution, Kareo Billing Services, which is already leveraged by more than 1,000 providers across 46 specialties nationwide.
  • The successful raising of $29.5 million in financing that highlighted the confidence within the investment community around the company’s rapid growth and market leadership.
  • The successful purchase and integration of Ecco Health, Kareo’s first acquisition, enabling the company to expand its product line while extending its revenue cycle management expertise across a range of specialties.
  • The growth of Kareo’s leadership team with the hiring of Tom Giannulli, MD as its Chief Medical Information Officer, Rob Pickell as its Chief Marketing Officer, Amyra Rand as its Vice President of Sales, David Mitzenmacher as its Vice President of Customer Success, and Nitin Somalwar as its Vice President of Engineering.

Over the course of four months, Forbes reviewed hundreds of applications. The final assessment was based on sustainable growth in sales and hiring, quality of management team and investors, margins, market size, and key partnerships. After verifying sales numbers, speaking with each company and debating their merits, Forbes produced a final ranking of the top 100 companies.

FieldAware Raises the Bar in Field Service Automation With New Mobile Apps

FieldAware, a leader in cloud-based, made-for-mobile field service automation solutions, has released new apps designed to increase field service productivity and customer service while maximizing revenue potential.

The new tablet app takes advantage of the larger displays and processing power of iOS and Android tablets and upgrades to the existing iOS and Android smartphone apps add new functionality and enhance usability. The new mobile apps are available immediately and will be demonstrated for the first time at the AHR Expo in New York City this week at Booth #7123.

FieldAware Mobile Apps enable field service workers to streamline legacy paper-based processes. They provide a centralized point for all functions in the work order life cycle and are synchronized in real-time with the entire field service team, dispatchers and back office systems. Work order and asset management, job scheduling, time sheets, quotes and invoicing can be managed directly by field service workers through the FieldAware Mobile Apps. Integration with FieldAware Web Apps in the central and back offices streamlines processes and increases productivity. The solution provides in-time reports and dashboards of the entire organization, or a subset of functions, jobs and people, at any given time.

“Tablets are quickly becoming the device of choice for many field service organizations as they seek to add feature-rich functionality that can improve operations and ultimately beat the competition,” said Johnny Jones, Vice President of Global Distribution for FieldAware. “Our new tablet apps and upgrades to our smartphone apps will help field personnel to be even more productive and field service companies more profitable.”

The tablet apps support auto-rotation and include a new columnar format that enables technicians to view all work order or customer-related information on a single screen. Action buttons that enable technicians to view work orders and related tasks, customer information and customer equipment, as well as to adjust software settings and “sync” the device, are now available from every screen. The smartphone apps have also been upgraded and now include improved navigation and the ability to view all work order information from a single screen.

“FieldAware’s new app designed specifically for tablets has helped our technicians be even more productive. They can see more information on a single screen and access FieldAware’s total functionality even faster. We love the new app.” Robert Henrich, President, Henrich Equipment Co., Inc.

In field testing, FieldAware’s new tablet apps saved technicians an average of thirty minutes per day over apps designed for smartphones (iOS and Android apps not designed specifically for tablets); the improved smartphone apps saved an additional ten minutes over the existing apps.

Sonian gets $8M for new cloud product, hits $10M in revenue

Sonian, a data archiving services firm based in Dedham, eclipsed the $10 million revenue mark in 2013 and plans to launch a new cloud product in February using $8 million in recently raised venture funding.

The new funding was initially disclosed in an SEC filing in late November, and Sonian named the investors in the round on Monday — Boston-based OpenView Venture Partners, Needham-based Prism Venture Partners and Summerhill Venture Partners, which has offices in Boston and Toronto.

The funding completes Sonian’s Series C round at $21.6 million, and brings Sonian to $37.6 million in total raised since its founding in 2007.

The company’s new product, DiscoverStor, is slated to debut Feb. 4. The product will allow customers to index, store and search through nearly 500 different file types on the cloud — from emails to medical imaging and CAD (computer-aided design) drawings.

The content can be retrieved in seconds, making it far easier for businesses to find many types of data in the cloud, Sonian CEO Jeff Dickerson said in an interview.

“What we’re looking to do is take all this business content and store it on the cloud and make it searchable,” Dickerson said.

Along with passing $10 million in revenue last year, Sonian now has 14,000 customers across 40 countries, Dickerson said. Customers include IBM, Amazon.com and Rackspace.

Sonian has about 80 employees, fewer than half of which are based in Dedham. The rest are spread across the company’s offices in Denver, Seattle, San Diego and the United Kingdom, Dickerson said.

The company’s expansion goals for 2014 include growing its employee base between 25 and 30 percent to drive revenue.

“We’re looking to double the size, from a revenue standpoint, this year,” Dickerson said.

DiscoverStor’s target market is legal technology, but the company itself has customers across a wide range of industries including health care, retail, manufacturing and state and federal government.

Sonian indexes and stores about 17 million documents each day across five public clouds.

Instructure, UC Irvine Reveal Results of 'The Walking Dead' MOOC

Instructure today announced key findings from its massive open online course based on the hit TV show “The Walking Dead,” a joint production with AMC and the University of California, Irvine that attracted more than 65,000 users around the world over its eight-week run.

Titled “Society, Science, Survival: Lessons from AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead,'” the MOOC was offered for free on Instructure’s MOOC platform, Canvas Network, and explored a wide range of scholarly topics through the lens of a hypothetical zombie apocalypse. A survey of the online course’s participants received more than 12,000 responses and delivered several new insights for the MOOC community.

Among the survey’s most illuminating insights was that the course tapped into a new market forpop culture-infused online learning by reaching thousands of people outside of the core MOOC-taking audience. Instructure’s survey found that nearly nine in 10 of the survey respondents had never taken a MOOC before and 59 percent of respondents had never enrolled in an online course.

“This initiative was an experiment to determine whether a pop-culture MOOC in a multidisciplinary format would create a compelling academic experience. The answer — an unequivocal ‘yes,'” said Instructure co-founder Brian Whitmer. “This different audience provided us with new insights that will shape the way we approach designing and developing MOOCs going forward. By acting as a springboard for exploring academic ideas in contemporary media, this course illustrates the potential for pop culture to serve as a modern-day literature review.”

Additional key findings from the survey revealed that the online course provided both a highly entertaining and rich academic experience for participants.

Learning for learning’s sake The survey found that 90 percent of respondents learned something they would have not otherwise considered studying. The high-profile nature of the MOOC not only drew in first-timers, but also encouraged a spirit of independent, self-driven learning.

Experiment in online pedagogy The MOOC took a novel approach to online learning, releasing a new course topic each week in subjects ranging from public health and social sciences to mathematics and physics. This multi-disciplinary approach appealed to the survey respondents, as 55 percent reported interest in possibly taking other multidisciplinary courses on Canvas Network in the future as opposed to standard, single topic courses. Because participants resonated with different themes and professors, “The Walking Dead” MOOC highlights the success of teaching a multitude of academic concepts under an overarching theme.

High level of engagement Four in five respondents reported spending more than one hour each week on the course, diving deep into academic content connected with pop culture. This statistic reveals that participants actually spent more time in the course than they did watching the show.

Increased fan engagement The survey’s findings also suggest clear incentives for content producers like AMC to increase their involvement in MOOCs. After taking the course, 60 percent of survey respondents said they became a bigger fan of “The Walking Dead,” and 73 percent said they had more fun watching the show, indicating a strong endorsement for blending education and entertainment.

“As an accomplished academic and an adult learner, it was exciting to see how popular culture provided a unique context for teaching and learning. It was clear to me that physics can be fun when engaging with zombies,” said Janice Koch, Ph.D., professor emerita at Hofstra University and a course participant. “The best part of this format is that it made watching television an active experience, one that was both intellectual and worthwhile.”

The MOOC was taught by a multidisciplinary team of UC Irvine faculty: Zuzana Bic, public health; Joanne Christopherson, social sciences; Michael Dennin, physics; and Sarah Eichhorn, mathematics. UC Irvine plans to conduct academic research around the course.

“As a faculty member, this course presented a fun challenge to recast traditional academic content in the framework of a pop culture show,” said Sarah Eichhorn, assistant chair for undergraduate studies in mathematics at UC Irvine and one of the MOOC’s instructors. “UC Irvine has a rich tradition of involvement in open education, and this course represented a unique opportunity for us to bring academic content to a new population, who without ‘The Walking Dead’ as a teaching resource might not have sought out such a learning experience.”
