iCarbonX, a China big data/AI startup, participated in a $8.4 million series B funding of HealthLoop, a California company that facilitates contact between patients and doctors. iCarbonX said it would integrate HealthLoop’s patient data into its own. HealthLoop communicates with patients online, before and after major events such as surgeries. It tells patients what to expect and probes for warning signs of problems. Started in 2015, iCarbonX soon achieved a $1 billion valuation, based largely on the credibility of its founder, Dr. Jun Wang, who was previously CEO of Shenzhen genomics company BGI.
