Integrated Home Care Services, an in-home benefit manager based in Miramar, Florida, acquired Dina, a Chicago company that runs an AI-enabled care coordination and referral management platform for home-based services. The deal was announced on May 20, 2026. Terms were not disclosed.
Dina founder and chief executive Ashish V. Shah joined Integrated as chief product and technology officer. In that role he leads product strategy, technology and the company's AI platform work.
Integrated said the combination creates an in-home benefit management and technology platform for health plans and other organisations that carry financial risk for patient care. Shah told Home Health Care News that the combined company aims to expand its reach across 20 to 30 US states.
What Dina built
Dina works with health plans, PACE organisations and provider groups. Its software and national network of credentialed providers handle the contracting, coordination, fulfilment and oversight of services delivered in the home, including personal care, home health, hospice and supplemental benefits.
When it raised its Series A in 2021, Dina described a platform that connects hospitals and health plans with in-home care partners, lets care teams share patient data, records caregiver assessments to flag gaps in care, and uses an AI assistant to recommend interventions and route patients who need attention. Built In Chicago reported at the time that the platform had first launched in 2015 and was used by hospitals, insurers and home care providers in 25 states.
“The future of healthcare will increasingly be built in the home, but the operational infrastructure supporting in-home care has lagged far behind the complexity and scale of modern healthcare.”
Why Integrated is buying
Integrated has worked in home care benefit management for more than 30 years. It provides utilization management, network management, referral management, care coordination and claims processing for home health, personal care, long-term services and supports, durable medical equipment, home infusion and private duty nursing. It says it serves millions of members from more than 20 states across Medicare Advantage, managed Medicaid, commercial, ACA marketplace and special needs plans.
The company said health plans struggle to get value from in-home benefits because of fragmented workflows, disconnected systems and manual administration. Adding Dina's automation and digital workforce tools lets Integrated offer clients a range of models, from software that supports a plan's own care and network teams to fully delegated benefit management, or a mix of the two.
Integrated chief executive Christopher Bradbury said Dina's platform and AI capabilities fit the company's aim of meeting plans wherever they are in moving care into the home.
The founders and the funding
Dina was co-founded by Shah and David Coyle. According to Dina's 2021 funding announcement, both were motivated by personal experience with ageing parents: Shah lost his father to heart disease in 2011, while Coyle struggled to stay connected with his mother's care team in Ireland.
The company raised $4 million in seed funding in 2017 and a $7 million Series A in January 2021, led by Osage Venture Partners with participation from First Trust Capital Partners and existing investors, Mercom Capital reported. At the time Dina reported 250% revenue growth in 2020 and about 25 employees, and said it planned to double headcount. No later funding was reported, and Dina's current headcount was not disclosed.
Shah told Home Health Care News that Dina had reached a point where there was enough proof in its work to look for a larger, better-resourced partner, and that Integrated "checked all of the boxes".
A shift of care into the home
The deal reflects a broader move by health plans and risk-bearing providers to shift services out of hospitals and facilities and into patients' homes. Home Health Care News reported the Dina acquisition alongside other technology deals in the home care sector that week, including LivTech's purchase of home health software maker Alora Healthcare Systems.
Neither company announced changes for Dina's existing customers. Integrated said the combined platform supports every major in-home service category and line of business from day one, including self-insured plan sponsors, and pairs Dina's automation with Integrated's own home care specialists.
