Twin’s product is the Whole Body Digital Twin, an AI-backed model that aims to provide individualized nutrition, sleep and activity guidelines to help people prevent and reverse metabolic diseases like Type 2 diabetes.

"The Whole Body Digital Twin became my life's work after my eyes were opened to the magnitude of chronic disease globally. I had seen too many loved ones impacted by the daily challenges of living with these diseases, forever changing the futures they imagined," founder and CEO Jahangir Mohammed said in a statement.

"The impact the Twin service has had on our members' lives energizes and inspires me, hearing their stories as they begin to understand the intricacies of their own metabolism and feel empowered to heal from the inside out."

Decentralized clinical trial platform Lightship scooped up $40 million in new funding.

The most recent round builds on a $20 million raise announced in February 2020.

“Today, only a small proportion of the global patient population has access to clinical trials as a treatment option. This new investment, plus the expansion of our team, enables Lightship to grow internationally and continue our journey to give patients everywhere the opportunity to participate in clinical research,” CEO David MacMurchy said in a statement.

“This is such an exciting, fast-growing market and at Lightship we have amazing teams committed to our mission and going beyond expectations for patients and sponsors of clinical studies.”

"We created Brave Care from the experience that every parent needs a trusted partner in their child's medical team, and that every child deserves access to excellent care regardless of their family's financial position. Sharing this intention in partnership with Mednax, we foresee this as a clear opportunity to open over 100 new clinics in the next few years."

"Pivotal integrates specialized healthcare and real estate data in unique ways to deliver strategic insights and a better perspective for healthcare opportunities," CEO Carl Davis said in a statement.
