Kaiser Permanente combines health care and coverage in one connected system to maximize employee health and minimize employer costs.

“We are bringing together two fantastic companies with shared values: customer obsession, technology excellence, and solving critical problems,” Sighthound CEO RJ Burnham said in a prepared statement. “Together, our aim is to bring openness and programmability to VMS solutions, long seen as closed, proprietary, and inflexible. Our objective is to meet customers where they are, give them great technology that’s easy to deploy from a company with integrity and great support.”

Boulder AI founder Darren Odom will transition into the role of chief technical officer for Sighthound, and the entire Boulder-based team will be absorbed into the combined company.

“We are building a solutions portfolio that checks all the boxes: easy-to-use, open and programmable, edge hardware, web-based software, all harnessing advanced AI in a high-security cloud,” Odom said in a statement. “Our goal is to make customers feel there is an alternative to the way things have been done in the past.”
