Positioning Dossiers
Ten public-record teardowns of how tech companies win the category argument, where the positioning is sharp, where there's a gap, and the moves that separate a wedge from a me-too.
Garner vs. Outfox Health
Two ways to lower employer medical spend without touching the network. Garner ranks the doctor. Outfox prices the facility. Here is where the approaches diverge, who each one fits, and what the public record shows.
Cedar
A patient financial experience platform that unifies billing, coverage, and support so health systems collect more of what patients actually owe, without burning the patients who pay it.
Abridge
The ambient AI scribe Epic chose as their first Pal, already turning 50 million clinical conversations a year into Epic-native notes at Hopkins, Kaiser, Mayo, and 200 other health systems.
Ambience Healthcare
An ambient AI documentation and coding platform for health systems whose clinicians actually use it on 80% of encounters, while every competing tool sits between 26% and 40%.
Commure
A clinical AI and revenue cycle platform, born from the merger of a health data company and an FDA-cleared device maker, that connects the clinical encounter directly to the claim so health systems can document, code, and get paid in one workflow.
Flatiron Health
An oncology technology company that runs the EHR inside community cancer centers and sells the structured data those centers generate to pharma companies as regulatory-grade real-world evidence. Owned by Roche since 2018.
Garner Health
A doctor quality analytics company that scores every physician in America using 320 million patient records, then pays employees to see the top performers.
Grow Therapy
A mental health marketplace that pre-credentials therapists with 125+ insurance plans so patients can start therapy this week for an average copay of $21.
Particle Health
A clinical data API that connects to every major U.S. health information network through a single integration, so payers, VBC organizations, and digital health companies can pull 320 million patient records without building the connections themselves.
Pearl Health
A value-based care platform that fronts cash to primary care practices so they can switch to risk-based Medicare contracts without betting their cashflow on it.
