In 2017, 1upHealth entered the healthcare solutions market with a clear mission: to tackle one of the industry's most pressing challenges - healthcare data. The founders recognized that the US healthcare system was broken, costing more per capita than any other country while delivering poor outcomes, with poor quality data alone costing the industry $300 billion annually. They saw 80% of health data remaining untapped, trapped in unstructured formats or isolated in data silos. So they built 1upHealth - a cloud-native, FHIR-enabled platform designed to unlock the true potential of healthcare data through modern interoperability.
Today, 1upHealth stands as healthcare's modern data platform, making it easy for payers, providers, life sciences companies, and digital health innovators to acquire, manage, and use healthcare data at scale. Built natively in the cloud using FHIR as the foundation, the platform connects to over 10,000 clinical endpoints, enabling seamless data exchange and powerful analytics. Trusted by 75+ enterprise organizations including leading national health plans, CMS ACOs, and state Medicaid agencies, 1upHealth transforms fragmented data into actionable insights that improve care quality, lower costs, and reduce risk. The company is led by a diverse team of healthcare experts, interoperability pioneers, and cloud technologists, including Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Donald Rucker, the former National Coordinator for Health IT who literally wrote the book on healthcare interoperability.
