Our take
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a global healthcare interoperability standard currently being adopted by major organizations across the US (including the US government) to facilitate the electronic exchange of healthcare information. 1upHealth is a health-tech company helping new organizations adopt the standard by converting data to FHIR and facilitating data sharing and analytics.
The federal government is pushing the healthcare industry to adopt FHIR-based APIs, which will be to 1upHealth’s benefit. The market appears to still be relatively unpopulated in the US, and as 1upHealth facilitates the entry of others into it, it may carve out a real and lucrative niche. Regulations that push for adoption are already coming into play - since 2021, for example, providers are obliged to make specific data available through FHIR APIs.
This market seems yet to mature in the US, and the 2017-founded 1upHealth could stand to make real progress alongside it as it does. Most recently, the company was ranked the 43rd Fastest-Growing Company in North America on the 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a significant achievement marking the company one to watch in the developing space.
