What the company did
Human API was a San Mateo, California health-data startup founded in 2013. It built a consumer-controlled API platform that aggregated, normalized and delivered digital and clinical health data from over 28,000 sources — hospitals, labs, pharmacies, wearables and fitness apps — to life insurers and healthcare customers, accelerating processes such as insurance underwriting. It raised about $36 million, including a $20 million Series C in October 2020 backed by Samsung Ventures, Allianz Life Ventures, CNO Financial, SCOR and Guardian Life.
