Elligint Health has acquired Israeli digital health startup Laguna Health in a deal estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars. The companies did not disclose the exact transaction value. Laguna will continue operating from Tel Aviv as Elligint's wholly owned AI development arm.
Funding and leadership
Laguna was founded in 2020 by Yoni Stein and Yael Peled-Adam. It has raised approximately US$30 million since inception. Stein will remain at the helm of the company and its Israeli operations.
A larger customer base
Elligint provides care management and utilization management tools to US health insurers. Its systems support more than 13 million policyholders. The acquisition gives Laguna access to that larger customer base.
What the platform does
Laguna builds conversational AI for healthcare case managers. The platform records calls, performs quality checks, and creates real-time insights. It also measures interactions against clinical and operational standards.
Elligint plans to double Laguna's workforce in Israel. New roles will include software developers, AI engineers, and US-focused sales staff. Laguna currently employs about 20 people in Tel Aviv.
