If you've had a great healthcare experience in the past few years, there's a good chance Metriport was behind it. That's the version of healthcare we want people to not just expect, but demand.
Medical data exchange is one of the biggest unsolved problems in US healthcare. If you've spent any real time in the healthcare system, you've felt it, and it only gets worse the sicker and older you get. Metriport exists to fix that. We connect to the data sources the healthcare providers of tomorrow need, take raw data that's unusable in its source form, and turn it into a single clean format that care teams, and their agents, actually use to improve outcomes. Record retrieval across thousands of legacy systems and antiquated data pipes that used to take weeks now takes seconds. Clinicians walk into appointments with the full patient picture already in hand, and that speed can mean spotting a condition early enough to actually treat it.
We're not a healthcare company. We're a technology company that happens to operate in healthcare, and we build every layer ourselves: exchange, transform, and insight. Legacy EHRs were built to get providers paid, not to serve the clinical experience. We're building what should have existed instead: the system of record for all of US healthcare. We started in data exchange. Today we compete with the largest data platforms in the space. Tomorrow we will be the infrastructure layer healthcare runs on. We're a small, high-output team, mostly former founders including YC alumni, and we operate with real autonomy and almost no bureaucracy. When data flows freely and safely, better care follows - that's what we're here to do.
