Our Story

As former technology leaders in the Israeli army, Vim’s 
co-founders leveraged their expertise in creating connections between disparate entities to unlock a proprietary approach to integrating with EHRs at scale.

Today, Vim’s breakthrough technology, Vim Connect, delivers external data and content at the point of care and directly within provider EHRs in ways not possible through legacy integration methods.

Vim’s ability to scale across EHRs allows care teams to maintain their own processes and EHR technologies while adding valuable context to drive higher provider uptake and higher engagement at the point of care – and that’s what sets us apart.

Our Leadership Team

We are discerning when it comes to who we choose to work with. Vim is led by a diverse team of healthcare system experts and technologists with experience in a variety of fields from healthcare interoperability to e-commerce to drone air traffic control. Under the leadership of this team, our employees collaborate to deliver solutions that power value-based care models and reduce administrative burden for physicians and care teams.
