Treato Appoints Healthcare Industry Veteran Allen Kamer to its Board of Directors

NEW YORK, December 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Treato, the leading source of consumer insights in healthcare, today announced the addition of Allen Kamer to its Board of Directors.

"Allen brings a unique wealth of data, analytics and commercialization experience in the healthcare industry, and has achieved tremendous success in his career as both an executive and entrepreneur," said Ido Hadari, Treato's Chief Executive Officer. "We are very pleased to welcome him to the team as we continue to expand our reach across the industry".

Allen Kamer brings nearly 25 years of health care experience, primarily focused on commercializing innovative health care solutions. He co-founded Humedica, a transformative population health and analytics company which was sold to UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH) in 2013. Following the acquisition, Allen served as the Chief Commercial Officer of Optum Analytics (a division in Optum, UnitedHealth Group's health services company). As the CCO, he led the group's commercialization efforts of analytics software products and solutions, including the award-winning Optum One™, to U.S. provider and payer organizations. Allen previously also held management positions at leading healthcare investment bank, Leerink Swann (now Leerink Partners), and at Biogen. He began his career reporting on FDA and policy issues for The Pink Sheet, and received his BA from Brandeis University.

 "A new area of healthcare is emerging - consumer and patient-driven health care. In many instances, individual patients are becoming the focal point that drives the healthcare industry, not the other way around," said Allen Kamer. "Treato has applied its patented technology to social data and categorized incredible insights from patients.  I am excited to join the Treato Board as the company prepares to expand its footprint and penetrate new areas," he added.

"We are excited to have Allen work with us towards putting patients front and center", said Anat Naschitz, Managing Director at OrbiMed Advisors.
