The story
DrChrono was founded in New York City in 2009 by Daniel Kivatinos and Michael Nusimow. The company spent time in the Rose Tech Ventures incubator in New York City before moving to Silicon Valley to join Y Combinator. Nusimow, a computer engineer, created the program with the intention of streamlining patient-doctor visits. In February 2011, DrChrono launched as an EHR app for the iPad, allowing doctors to complete tasks and access information without needing to use paper records. The information gathered and accessed through the app is also available from a web browser, iOS and Android devices, on Google Glass, and the Apple Watch.
In June 2011, the company released the first tablet EHR system to be certified for meaningful use by Infogard Laboratories. Doctors who used their EHR app to store and track patient data received up to $44,000 in incentives from federal subsidies. In August 2012, DrChrono released OnPatient, an iOS and Android app to replace and expedite the traditional handwritten patient check-in process. It integrates with DrChrono's medical records interface.
As of December 2018, over $3 billion in medical claims are processed annually through the platform, and 13.2 million patients are under the care of DrChrono providers.
In January 2020, the company raised $20 million in a growth capital round from ORIX Growth Capital, a subsidiary of Orix USA, to invest further in the technology platform (EHR, medical billing, and API) and expand engineering, sales, and support functions.
