investment philosophy

The need to vastly improve the U.S. healthcare system has been well-documented but poorly addressed. The conditions driving cost increases in the healthcare industry require entrepreneurial solutions to improve both quality and efficiency as a catalyst for savings. Positive change requires a major shift in the way care is delivered and managed.

Psilos invests in businesses that are poised to establish enduring market value by developing fundamental improvements in the healthcare system as a whole.

We focus our investments across healthcare services, healthcare information technology, medical devices, specialty pharmaceuticals and instrumentation, seeking investment opportunities that accelerate and benefit from the major market shift required to break the cycle of uncontrolled costs and unaccountable healthcare delivery and improve the quality of medical care. Psilos focuses on companies that first and foremost:

• Improve quality while reducing healthcare costs;

• Advance the alignment of payer, patient and provider incentives.

Additionally, we are particularly interested in products and services that:

• Empower and involve consumers of care:

• Address diseases and experiences of aging;

• Expand access to and integration of data and information;

• Minimize the invasiveness of treatment;

• Use clinical information to drive care delivery and minimize errors;

• Recognize the role of cost as part of outcome;

• Rely on next generation technology to achieve these objectives.
