"Hospital operations have grown unsustainably complex as providers must adopt new technologies, workflows, and regulations with increasing frequency in order to provide best-practice care," added John Kuelper, Investment Director at Ascension Ventures. "Olive's cutting-edge process mining and automation technologies are enabling our firm's health system partners to continually optimize clinical and administrative operations so caregivers can spend more of their time on patient care."

"Olive arrives at a time when healthcare organizations are burdened with improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing the patient experience," said Sean Lane, Founder and CEO of Olive. "Olive handles repetitive, high-volume tasks, which allows employees to get back to patient care and presents healthcare organizations with value that could not otherwise be realized."

"As the first healthcare automation solution on the market using AI to streamline repetitive tasks and workflows by working with existing systems, Olive is uniquely positioned to counteract the ever-increasing cost of healthcare and humanize the cumbersome process," said Billy Deitch, Principal at Oak HC/FT. "We are excited to partner with Olive to deploy its innovative technology at scale."

Billy Deitch, Principal at Oak HC/FT, and John Kuelper, Investment Director at Ascension Ventures, will join the company's board of directors.

Earlier this year, Olive divested its legacy Connect platform and related products including Connect biometrics, Queue registration kiosk, and the CrossChx Connect mobile app to DHS Group.
