Time flies during a global pandemic

In four years since the global COVID-19 pandemic changed everything (and nothing), we’ve accomplished quite a bit in our little corner of health tech:

  • The SMART Health Cards technology powers proof of covid vaccination and testing for countless people worldwide and is now being used to support exciting non-covid use cases like complete immunization records and patient summaries;

  • CommonHealth is connected to almost 15,000 different health data sources across the US and is just the best app for folks on Android to access, store, and share their health records;

  • The SMART Health Cards tech has been adapted for use as a digital insurance card, which in time should replace the paper/ plastic nonsense we carry today;

  • We’re on our way to launching JupyterHealth to finally, finally, provide open and practical tools for incorporating patient generated data into research and care.
