Healthcare organizations struggle to achieve true EHR interoperability due to incentive misalignment and implementation complexity, making it difficult to extract clean, usable patient data from different systems.

Existing solutions claim FHIR support but make clean data extraction nearly impossible; patient matching is unreliable, consent rules vary by state, and most clinical data remains in free-text notes that don't transfer meaningfully.

App Concept

InteropBridge

InteropBridge is a middleware platform that normalizes EHR data across vendors, enabling clean, structured extraction of patient records. It uses AI to parse free-text notes and standardize patient matching, while handling state-specific consent rules. Unlike vendor APIs, InteropBridge delivers actionable, workflow-ready data.

Key Features

AI-powered free-text note parsing to extract structured clinical data
Advanced patient matching across disparate systems with probabilistic algorithms
Consent management engine that adapts to state-specific regulations
Pre-built connectors for major EHRs (Epic, Cerner) and FHIR endpoints

Target Users: IT Managers and Health Information Exchange coordinators in hospitals and health systems of 100+ beds

Revenue Model: Per-record API usage fee ($0.10 per patient record accessed) plus annual platform subscription ($50,000 per hospital)
