"We are attracting investors who are also highly regarded surgeons, cardiologists and pain management specialists who endorses our mission and propels our efforts forward with additional medical validation," said Simon Schurr, CEO and Chairman of CMT Corp. "To date, we have had several exceptional and leading edge physicians and specialist using the platform, but these investors represent a new level of interest coming directly from super specialists who comprehend its full potential."
One of the new investors, Haim Blecher, MD, commented, "CMT Corp's cloud based solution is the answer to the current inefficiencies that plague the transfer and efficient use of existing healthcare information. The company is positioned perfectly to answer the increasing demands of our current healthcare system."

Dr. Sackstein is also on the staff of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. "One of the greatest impediments to patient care is the difficulty we all have sharing information in a timely and efficient manner. When I first saw CMT Corp's cloud-based platform I immediately saw so many different applications which could improve patient outcomes and access to care that I was excited to become involved."
These two specialists join a cardiologist from the A-series round, Nate E. Lebowitz, MD, FACC, a lipid and preventive cardiology specialist and a faculty member in The Advanced Cardiology Institute, a division of Hackensack University Medical Center Cardiovascular Partners. "Our team of cardiologists and surgeons need solutions that are tailored to their areas of specialization and conform to diagnostic protocols, treatment plans and workflow. New integrative models and innovations in care delivery are required and CMT Corp is perfectly suited to be part of that solution."
