The definitive agreement will add M*Modal’s technology for cloud-based conversational artificial intelligence-powered systems to 3M’s existing line of healthcare information technology solutions.
3M will maintain a strategic business relationship with M*Modal’s remaining transcription, scribing and coding services business, which is not part of this transaction, to help ensure continuity and strong customer support.
Annual revenue of M*Modal’s technology business is estimated to be approximately $200 million.
3M believes the acquired M*Modal lines of business will help physicians better capture and improve the patient narrative “so they can spend more time with their patients and provide higher quality of care.”
