Hey @falsestprophet, thanks for reaching out! I had been introduced to Apervita a little while back, and while I found it intriguing, it didn't solve the problem I was looking to solve. From my perspective, the biggest problem in healt

Hey James, that's a great question - the answer is that in order to access data from any health system, you'll need their OK. Akido does make it much much easier for them to say OK, though :). While the API makes it far easier o

I'd also like to add that it's a free platform for health systems :). To clarify a bit, a hospital or clinic wouldn't really "hire" us -- Akido is software that's implemented on-site or in the cloud, and is sup

Hey @c0mpute - that's a very good question! We are building relationships with health systems across the country, but we can't remove the need for you to talk to them. What Akido does is make integration a non-issue - we turn in

Thanks for your question, @smanuel! It's a good one! At this point in time, we're focused more on software/device vendor integrations into healthcare systems. However, this strategy is aimed at eventually making personal heal

Hey @joshpadnick, great question - It's both! On one hand, Akido is a technology + service that offloads the entire integration process for application vendors (analytics, patient engagement, scheduling, etc!), lab/diagnostics ven

@phren0logy We hear you!! The Akido API was influenced by our experience as directors of Univ. Southern California's D-Health digital health lab, where we constantly work with physicians and admins to create better health IT software.

I had stepped away from my computer (sorry!) - to answer your questions: YES - it's a real pain to deal with all the different interfaces and techniques required to obtain the data that you need. However, as part of implementing Akido,

Hey @buckbova, Akido actually isn't dependent on the EHR vendor. Nonetheless, here's a short list on our hospital page: https://www.akidolabs.com/hospitals Akido handles all aspects of integration for you -- we es

Hey @up_and_up - would love to learn more about how you could use Akido! Shoot me an email at jared@akidolabs.com and let's set aside a time for a call/skype/coffee (depending on where you live)!

Hey @buckbova, thanks for your question!! Akido doesn't actually replace anything - it's an API layer that lives above any electronic health record (EHR) system, and provides a far more developer-friendly and secure means for acce
