Transforming Healthcare Together

Our mission is simple: to empower PBMs and transform healthcare with technology and innovation.

Our Commitment to Healing: Bridging Tradition and Innovation in Healthcare Technology

Epidaurus Health brings together a unique combination of deep healthcare expertise and modern technology solutions. Named after the ancient Greek site of Epidaurus, a hub for healing and medical knowledge, we are inspired by its legacy as a center for health and care.

We are passionate about creating a positive impact in the PBM space, focusing on innovation that enhances efficiency and supports patient care. Our commitment lies in merging traditional healthcare values with transformative digital tools to build a seamless healthcare experience for all stakeholders.

Our Journey:
Milestones and Innovations

2019

Epidaurus Health was established as a health tech research and development initiative within Red Oak Strategic, a leading data science and cloud engineering firm. Our research received funding through a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Award, focusing on utilizing distributed ledger technology to secure and synchronize health records across health systems, insurers, and patient communities.

Building on our initial research, we identified key opportunities in the prescription lifecycle, formulary management, and drug reimbursement processes—areas that would benefit significantly from secure multi-party computation.
2020
2021
Red Oak Strategic invested in extensive market research and customer discovery, targeting the pharmacy benefit management (PBM) middle market. During this time, we forged relationships with clinical review teams at small to mid-sized PBMs throughout the United States.
Epidaurus Health began specializing in prior authorization solutions. By collecting clinical guidelines from multiple mid-market PBMs, we rapidly developed iterative prototypes, demonstrating our product’s value to PBMs that prioritize high clinical engagement and administrative efficiency.
2022
2023
Based on our successful development efforts, Red Oak Strategic was awarded the NSF SBIR Phase II Award to support the creation of a commercial, AI-driven solution for secure exchange of real-world evidence (RWE) aimed at optimizing prior authorizations.
