1upHealth's mission is to transform healthcare data to create positive change that affects all areas of the industry for the better.
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, they 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. The 2022 release of the company's "SQL on FHIR®" product signifies its commitment to continued improvement, and makes it one to watch in the developing space.
