Applied Informatics Inc

Applied Informatics Inc specializes in developing healthcare and life sciences software solutions with a focus on clinical trial operations, patient recruitment, and medical affairs. Founded by graduates from Columbia University's Department of Biomedical Informatics, the company combines biomedical informatics expertise with full-stack software development capabilities.

The firm has built notable solutions including the InvestigatorDatabank (used by major pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, Lilly, Novartis, Janssen, and Merck), TrialX patient recruitment platform (deployed at University of Pennsylvania, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and other major health systems), and AI-powered pharmacovigilance solutions for Genpact. Their technology stack spans web development (Django, Python, React.js), AI/ML (deep learning, TensorFlow), mobile development (iOS/Android with ResearchKit/CareKit), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes).

Applied Informatics pioneered the Android version of Apple's ResearchKit and has built specialized solutions including HaVOC (a UMLS-based healthcare vocabulary API), PopEye (Meaningful Use CQM analytics API), and iHealth patient portal (Meaningful Use 2 certified). The company's mobile research apps have collected over 300 million step count observations through wearables and sensor integrations.

Choose Applied Informatics when you need software development partners who understand both the technical and scientific aspects of clinical research technology. Their Columbia University biomedical informatics background provides domain expertise that generic software firms lack, particularly valuable for projects involving complex healthcare vocabularies, semantic data integration, or regulatory compliance requirements.

Expect a team that can navigate FHIR standards, UMLS vocabularies, and clinical quality measures while delivering modern web and mobile applications. Their experience building industry-standard tools like InvestigatorDatabank demonstrates capability to deliver solutions that achieve broad adoption across major pharmaceutical companies.

Applied Informatics operates exclusively in healthcare and life sciences, with particular concentration in clinical trial operations, patient recruitment and retention, medical affairs, and population health analytics. Their Meaningful Use 2 certification, experience with CQM analytics, and deep integration work with EHR systems (Epic, Allscripts, popHealth) demonstrate regulatory and interoperability expertise specific to healthcare. The company's development of UMLS-based vocabulary APIs and semantic healthcare data technologies reflects specialized biomedical informatics capabilities beyond typical software development firms.

Pharmaceutical companies running clinical trials, clinical research organizations needing patient recruitment technology, academic medical centers conducting research studies, and health tech companies requiring deep integration with healthcare vocabularies and standards. Organizations seeking AI/ML applications for pharmacovigilance or clinical data analytics, or those needing mobile research apps using ResearchKit/CareKit frameworks.
