“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.”
– Constitution of the World Health Organization, 1946
Despite the incredible potential of cloud-based, real-time digital technology, we are not meeting the urgent pressures on healthcare delivery. Hospitals and clinics still rely on a foundation of paper charts and verbally-delivered histories, and HR investments alone aren’t enough to close the gap.
What can we do to take the incredible innovation and creativity in technology entrepreneurship today and apply it to one of the world’s biggest problems? MedStack brings application ecosystems and the power of developer communities to healthcare.
Co-founders Balaji Gopalan and Simon Woodside introduced the concept of MedStack and demonstrated how health data from a wearable device could be surfaced in a compliant and secure cloud interface.
In May of 2016, we took part in Dreamit Health, a growth-focused health tech accelerator backed by Independence Blue Cross and Penn Medicine. This experience helped us expand into the U.S. and get our first U.S. customers.
We closed a $1.8M ($2.4M CAD) round led by TELUS Ventures, with ScaleUP Ventures, Panache Ventures and BCF Ventures. Ontario Centres of Excellence added to their existing investment with this round, and several other previous investors doubled down in participation.
We completed our Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 2 audit, further demonstrating our continued commitment to operating with the highest degree of care and security in managing Personal Health Information (PHI).
We announced the general availability release of our MedStack Control API in partnership with our friends at Docker.
We announced the closing of our latest round of funding, a $3.1 million USD oversubscribed round led by existing investors Blu Venture Investors (BVI) and TELUS Ventures, with participation from new investors York IE, Argonautic Ventures, Archangel Network of Funds, MFD Investments, and existing investor Donville- Kent Asset Management.
We received our Certificate of Assurance from Cyber Essentials Plus, a UK government-backed and industry-supported certification that confirms our organization meets the required operational security standards in the UK.
MedStack was selected as the winner of the “Best Patient Data Security Solution” award in the sixth annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program, conducted by an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global health and medical technology market.
MedStack gives developers the ability to layer on their choice of cloud provider to automatically satisfy healthcare regulations and industry compliance requirements.
MedStack acquired the assets and brand of Exos, bolstering MedStack’s existing platform offering and further establishes MedStack as an emerging leader that is disrupting the traditional healthcare compliance industry.
MedStack was named a Momentum Leader in the Healthcare Compliance category by G2, the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace.
