Gratia Health, an Austin, TX-based healthtech company, raised an undisclosed amount in Seed funding.
The round was led by JumpStart Capital.
The company also announced a major contract with strategic partner, ScionHealth, to implement its incentive compensation platform across ScionHealth’s more than 70 specialty hospitals. ScionHealth and Gratia are already looking to build upon their initial success by piloting and rolling out additional incentive programs, including attendance and preceptorship, to further address workforce health in 2024.
Led by President Harrison Tyner, Gratia is a health technology startup that specializes in helping healthcare employers create healthy, sustainable workforces through its incentive compensation platform. It aims to develop and deploy a portfolio of data informed incentive programs that help create more sustainable work environments for shift-based healthcare providers, like nurses. Its programs are designed using proven behavioral science concepts to address chronic workforce challenges within systems and are deployed using its proprietary software platform that gamifies the experience for participating providers.
Employees can utilize Gratia’s two-way texting application to check their status in the incentive program, easily engage and ask questions. It delivers automated nudges and progress notifications to caregivers that optimize the program for engagement and reward attainment. In addition, Gratia provides administrators with tools to gauge program performance and streamline back-office support functions.
