Carenet Health (Carenet), the engagement, navigation, and clinical execution partner to more than 400 of America’s leading payers, providers, and health technology and services companies, today announced the acquisition of Orbita, an AI-powered patient engagement and communication platform serving health systems and specialty provider groups.
The move deepens Carenet’s technology and AI infrastructure to orchestrate support where healthcare consumer journeys often break down: when patients need to find care, schedule it, prepare, and follow through. Orbita’s agentic AI platform automates education and communication end-to-end, with pre-built integrations to all major electronic health record (EHR/EMR) and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
On its mission to help client partners succeed in making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and effective at improving outcomes, Carenet continuously invests in technology to advance healthcare engagement at scale.
“Our clinical roots, technology foundation, operational excellence, and decades of insights are unmatched, and we deliberately build and acquire capabilities that amplify those strengths,” said Christopher Rogers, President of Carenet Health. “Orbita’s platform perfectly complements our stack, ensuring our clients benefit from the most efficient blend of automation, AI, and empathetic human support.”
Founded in 2015, Orbita was among the first companies to apply conversational AI to healthcare, and has since delivered more than 50 million automated patient interactions and served over 1.5 million patients. Its solutions include digital front door, patient access and acquisition, and care navigation. Health systems using the platform have reported a 53% reduction in same-day cancellations, a 30% increase in patient throughput, and a 25% improvement in operational efficiency.
Orbita’s talented team joins Carenet immediately. Orbita clients retain their platform, existing programs, and support teams while gaining access to Carenet’s full breadth of clinical and non-clinical engagement services and technology, global delivery capacity, and data insights. Carenet clients gain a proven, clinical-grade, system-of-record-integrated AI layer that further extends Intelligent Engagement™ into their workflows and enhances the digital channels through which patients interact.
The acquisition reflects Carenet’s disciplined merger and acquisition (M&A) strategy, focused on opportunities that expand AI and technology, clinical capabilities, and geo-diversity while creating measurable value for clients. Orbita is Carenet’s 11th acquisition, and the company expects to announce additional transactions in coming weeks.
