## About

Junum offers a Malnutrition Clinical Decision Support Solution (MalnutritionCDS™) that enhances patient care by accurately diagnosing malnutrition within hospital systems, improving healthcare outcomes for at-risk populations.Founded in 2017 in New Orleans, US, Junum specializes in a solution that addresses malnutrition in patients. The company has raised a total of USD 0.150 mn through a SEED round, with Jumpstart Health Investors as a key investor. The latest funding was completed on September 14, 2023, aimed at bolstering its sales and product development efforts. Molly Hegarty, who has a background in healthcare innovation, serves as the CEO alongside Shawn Singh.Junum specializes in providing a Malnutrition Clinical Decision Support Solution (MalnutritionCDS™) that integrates seamlessly with existing Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems such as Epic and Oracle Health. This solution aims to accurately diagnose malnutrition within hospital workflows, targeting a critical area in patient care that is often overlooked. By leveraging the Global Malnutrition Composite Score (GMCS), Junum's technology enables healthcare providers to enhance the quality of care for at-risk patients, primarily adults aged 65 and older who have extended inpatient stays. The MalnutritionCDS™ has been particularly impactful in the U.S. market, where it addresses the urgent need for improved malnutrition care, successfully increasing diagnosis rates and driving revenue in participating institutions. The primary users of this solution include healthcare professionals such as physicians and dietitians who rely on accurate nutritional assessments to inform clinical decisions and optimize patient outcomes.Junum's revenue model is primarily based on subscription services associated with its MalnutritionCDS™ solution. For the year 2017, the company reported a revenue amount of USD 1,300,000. Hospitals and healthcare facilities enter into contractual agreements that allow them to utilize the software within their EHR systems, enhancing their capabilities for diagnosing malnutrition. By integrating this solution, healthcare providers can realize significant financial benefits; for example, Lafayette General Health reported a revenue increase of USD 1.9 mn over three years due to improved malnutrition diagnosis rates. The pricing structure for these services is determined by the scale and specific needs of the healthcare institutions, with potential variations based on factors such as the size of the facility and the extent of integration required with existing EHR systems.In September 2023, Junum raised USD 0.150 mn in a SEED funding round, with plans to use the funding to accelerate its sales, product offering, and engineering team. The company is focused on expanding its reach in the healthcare market by introducing new features to its MalnutritionCDS™ solution and enhancing its technology. Future plans include targeting additional healthcare networks and geographic regions within the US to broaden access to its services, aiming for these expansions by the end of 2024.
