Lloyd is a former Epic employee, as are Redox’s other two co-founders, Luke Bonney and Niko Skievaski. Epic is far from the only records software vendor Redox can integrate with, Lloyd says; others include Cerner (NASDAQ [[ticker:CERN]]), McKesson (NYSE [[ticker:MCK]]), Allscripts (NASDAQ [[ticker:MDRX]]), Athenahealth (NASDAQ [[ticker:ATHN]]), and eClinicalWorks.

Partnering with a mobile-focused company like Kinvey is a first for Redox, Lloyd says, though many of the applications it currently supports can be used on smartphones and tablets.

“Today, we service applications that have both provider- and patient-facing components,” Lloyd says. “A very common structure is to deliver the provider component as a website and the patient component as a mobile application.”

Customers can license Redox’s interface tools and connect to healthcare providers’ record systems at rates that start at $500 a month.

Redox, launched in 2014, has raised about $4 million to date. The bulk of that total came in a Series A funding round that closed last October.

The startup currently has 24 employees, Lloyd says.
