Omedix

Omedix operated as a healthcare technology firm, established in 2004 and based in Phoenix, Arizona. The company focused on developing internet-based solutions tailored for physician practices and other healthcare organizations. Its business model was centered on providing a suite of cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools designed to enhance patient engagement and streamline office workflows.

The core of Omedix's offering was a comprehensive patient engagement platform. This platform empowered healthcare providers to manage all facets of patient interaction through a single, secure, integrated system. Key features included a patient portal with a dedicated dashboard, online bill payment capabilities, secure messaging between patients and providers, and digital patient forms. The system was also designed for integration with existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) systems. For its clients, which consisted of over 1,200 providers, the platform offered the benefits of improved operational efficiency and an enhanced experience for their patients through self-service options.

Financially, Omedix was a venture-backed entity, securing a total of $4.38 million in funding across five rounds. Its investor base included institutions such as Canal Partners, LRVHealth, and Arizona Tech Investors. A pivotal moment in the company's history occurred in July 2016, when Omedix merged with Forerun, Inc., a Massachusetts-based provider of a cloud-based EHR solution. This strategic merger resulted in the formation of a new entity named Edaris Health. The combination was driven by the complementary nature of their products; Omedix’s robust patient portal filled a gap in Forerun's otherwise strong EHR offering, creating a more comprehensive solution for the urgent and ambulatory care markets.
