“Can a vertical EHR become the API-first financial and clinical infrastructure layer for virtual-first healthcare?”
Healthie was founded in 2016 as an EHR / practice management platform for dietitians and health coaches, born from the founders' family experience with nutrition-focused care. It has since evolved into an API-first infrastructure play — explicitly positioning itself as 'the Stripe for virtual patient care' — powering 35,000 clinicians and digital health startups. Embedded payments (via Stripe Connect) and an integrations marketplace (Healthie Harbor) are core to the strategy, with a recent AI-native turn via AI Scribe and Dev Assist.
