Clinigence Joins Georgia Tech's ATDC
Monday, April 12, 2010 at 10:00PM ATLANTA, April 12, 2010—Clinigence, LLC, a health information technology focused on the development of clinical business intelligence tools for healthcare providers, today announced that it has joined Georgia Tech's Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC).
"This is my second venture at ATDC," said Kobi Margolin - Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Clinigence. "I believe the proximity to Georgia Tech and the wonderful facilities and breadth of services available to ATDC companies will be invaluable to us as we build another excellent health information technology company."
Margolin is a serial health information technology entrepreneur who came to Atlanta in 1999 to run US Operations for Israel-based Algotec Systems—a medical imaging company he had co-founded a few years earlier. Algotec was acquired in 2004 by Eastman Kodak. In 2005, Margolin joined Accelarad - an ATDC company—and led its market expansion as it graduated from ATDC and through 2008. In 2009, Margolin conceived of Clinigence.
"When I started my career in health information technology, I was blessed with the opportunity to combine academic studies—an M.S. degree in Medical Physics from Tel-Aviv University—with entrepreneurship and industry experience. With Georgia Tech's new focus on medical informatics, I hope we can create similar synergies for local students. Joining ATDC is a step towards achieving this vision," said Margolin.
