Boulder-based Dātu Health lands 5-year, $25M deal with St. Joseph Health

BOULDER — Digital-health company Dātu Health in Boulder has secured a five-year, $25 million deal with St. Joseph Health to provide a mobile platform for the nonprofit health-care system to communicate with its customers.

The agreement builds upon the existing two-year partnership between Dātu and SJH.

Collaborative-care programs for diabetes, wellness and pregnancy will continue, and new programs yet to be identified will target customers’ various health needs and goals, according to a prepared statement.

In addition, the partners will work to enhance Dātu’s Persuasion Engine technology designed to influence patient behavior. The platform is a set of rules, content and “nudges” that SJH will provide to each program member through a mobile experience customized to his or her needs.

St. Joseph Health is a $5.5 billion Catholic health-care system sponsored by the St. Joseph Health Ministry. SJH has 16 acute-care hospitals, home-health agencies, hospice care, outpatient services, skilled-nursing facilities, community clinics and physician organizations throughout California, Texas and New Mexico.
