Intensix raises $8.3M for machine-learning tech to head off ICU complications Intensix, which is harnessing machine learning in the ICU, reeled in an $8.3 million Series A. The funds are pegged for the expansion of its sales and marketing ops in North America as well as further development of its predictive analytics platform. The Intensix platform applies machine learning to the early detection of life-threatening complications in intensive care. A proliferation of structured and unstructured ICU data--from vital signs to historical and demographic data--goes into the system, is run through a set of models and results in predictions, CEO Gal Salomon said. ICU staff and management could use these predictions to head off deterioration before it happens. Studies have shown that the tech could potentially save lives, reduce the length of hospital stays and lower costs, the company said in a statement.
