Baltimore health technology startup Protenus Inc. hopes a partnership with health care consulting firm Sage Growth Partners will speed up the company's development and lead to top-notch clients for the fledgling company.
Protenus is developing a cyber security tool that helps hospitals protect patient information by identifying and thwarting insider threats to hospitals' electronic medical records. Since launching in 2014 the company has been focused on fine tuning its technology, which is already in use at Johns Hopkins Hospital. As part of Sage's venture management program, Sage will help Protenus strengthen the business strategy side of the company. Protenus will be based at Sage's office at the Broom Factory in Canton.
