ELLKAY’s $5 Million Case for Boring Healthcare Software
It started in a New Jersey basement, cleaning up lab orders. Today ELLKAY sits beneath 58,000-plus practices and a national exchange reaching 261 million people - proof that the dullest layer of healthcare can carry the clearest ROI.
Healthcare’s AI Dreams Keep Tripping Over Bad Plumbing. Rhapsody Wants to Fix the Pipes.
Hospitals do not need another dazzling demo if yesterday’s lab result is still trapped in the wrong system. Rhapsody has spent decades turning that unglamorous mess into a business - and now it is teaching an AI agent to mind the pipes.
Redox
Redox is a Madison, Wisconsin-based healthcare technology company that runs a cloud network for exchanging clinical and administrative data between health systems, digital health vendors, payers, and life sciences companies. Founded in 2014 by three former Epic Systems engineers, Redox lets a customer connect once to a single API and then reach thousands of healthcare organizations across dozens of electronic health record systems, rather than building and maintaining hundreds of point-to-point integrations. The platform handles standards like HL7v2, CCD, X12, and FHIR, and processes billions of data transactions a year.
Medplum
Medplum is an open-source, API-first, FHIR-native healthcare developer platform - a 'Firebase for Healthcare' that gives engineers a HIPAA- and SOC2-ready backend so they can ship custom EHRs, patient portals, and clinical workflows without rebuilding the plumbing.
Alara Imaging
Alara Imaging is a San Francisco healthcare technology company building a private compute platform for radiology. Its flagship product, the Alara Medical Imaging Gateway, is edge-orchestration software that sits inside a hospital and moves imaging data securely and bidirectionally between facilities and the cloud. Founded out of UCSF research, Alara serves as a CMS measure steward, giving health systems a HITRUST-certified, HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant way to calculate and report new radiology quality measures - including a CMS-endorsed measure to standardize CT radiation doses and reduce avoidable cancer risk.
