On November 8th, 40+ entrepreneurs joined us on Zoom for an insightful morning event! This Healthcare Entrepreneurs Meetup was not one to miss: HealthIT folks joined A.T. Gimbel and Mitesh Rao from OMNY Health to discuss his early days in emergency medicine, the story of OMNY Health, and his plans for the future.
These Meetups are part of an ongoing series of talks about Healthcare in Atlanta, with the objective of making Atlanta the premier place to start and grow a HealthIT business. The goal of these meetups is to facilitate connections, hear from industry professionals, and truly dig deeper into Healthcare problems that Atlanta entrepreneurs can help solve.
We started the morning with a good ol’ fashioned Zoom Breakout Room networking session to discuss in small groups, how early we put up our holiday decorations. It was a great opportunity to connect with new faces and reconnect with familiar ones before we dove into the event.
OMNY Health
Frustrated by the lack of secure and compliant ways to build data partnerships in healthcare, Mitesh co-founded OMNY Health in 2018. OMNY Health is a healthcare ecosystem that connects providers and life sciences companies to fuel partnerships that drive patient care.
Prior to founding OMNY Health, Dr. Mitesh Rao spent a number of years as a hospital executive. During this time, he realized that one of the biggest challenges that faced healthcare providers was leveraging data internally and building external relationships to connect data into a larger ecosystem.
That experience spurred him to build a transparent, compliant, and ethical platform that leverages data and professional relationships, which evolved into OMNY Health. Today, OMNY Health helps to connect healthcare providers and life sciences companies to do right by the patient and add value to all sides.
The best entrepreneurs have that resilience to keep going when the going gets tough.— Mitesh Rao, Founder of OMNY Health
