About ClosedLoop

Historically known as healthcare’s data science platform, ClosedLoop has now also begun to pioneer the use of generative AI to deliver personalized support to patients and providers. With a passion for service and a thirst for revolution, we are dedicated to improving health and wellbeing for people everywhere. Through the use of innovative technology and compassionate support at every stage in patients journeys, we offer solutions for patients directly and for members of their care team.

What sets us apart from the competition is our well-established reputation and history of innovation, excellence, and partnership. Competing in and winning the CMS AI HealthOutcomes Challenge in April 2021 put us on the map by surpassing 300 other contenders (IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, Merck, Mayo Clinic, etc.) to win the $1.6 million grand prize.

We welcomed 2025 with another milestone … Our fourth consecutive year being named Best in KLAS for Healthcare AI. One of our industry’s most prestigious honors, KLAS uses direct customer experience and satisfaction data from interviews by KLAS Research to score healthcare technology companies.

Now on the precipice of more exciting accomplishments and discoveries yet to be realized, we will always be guided by a commitment to do good in order to positively impact the future of Healthcare.

We’re ready to help change the world. Are you? Come join us!
