Veda (now H1)

We started H1 (formerly Veda) in 2015. Dr. Bob Lindner and Meghan Gaffney founded the company to help patients access care faster, reduce financial losses in healthcare, and make processes more efficient. We offer IT services and consulting, focusing on analytics, predictive modeling, data solutions, healthcare, machine learning, data science, automation, and AI.

Our platform connects healthcare professionals with clinical, scientific, and research information worldwide. We provide solutions for life sciences, pharma, health plans, and digital health organizations:

• Clinical: We help accelerate clinical trials with comprehensive data and analytics. This speeds up patient recruitment, ensures diverse representation, and improves site selection.
• Medical: We give medical affairs teams real-time HCP insights and AI-driven intelligence for effective engagements.
• Commercial: We connect users with prescribers for targeted, data-driven outreach.
• Health Plans: We automate provider data management, keeping information accurate across directories, networks, rosters, and internal systems.
• Digital Health: We guide patients to the right providers with accurate data on location, network, specialty, and credentials.

We use machine learning and AI technology, drawing on over 10 years of experience, to improve data accuracy and health outcomes. Over 93 million people in the healthcare industry use our tools, and more than 250 companies trust us, including Lilly, Centene Corporation, Sanofi, AstraZeneca, Microsoft, and Johnson & Johnson.

Our mission is to create a healthier future by making critical expertise, healthcare professional (HCP) information, claims data, research, discoveries, and insights globally accessible to everyone—doctors, researchers, industry, and patients.

Our culture is based on six core values:

• Start with the User: We prioritize user success because it leads to healthier people.
• People Matter: We believe healthy employees lead to a successful company, and we work hard to improve our organization.
• Know Why: We understand the ‘why’ behind our actions before deciding on the ‘what’.
• Beautiful Polished Rocks: We believe the best ideas come from the friction of differing opinions and open, constructive feedback.
• Be Quick, but Don’t Rush: We move fast, but we ensure our decisions are correct because our customers depend on us.
• One Team: We work together with a shared vision to build a healthier future for everyone.

We have over 300 employees in 3 offices, serving customers on 6 continents. Our co-founders are Ariel Katz (CEO) and Ian Sax (President).

Our culture values collaboration and open communication. Our leadership is committed to fostering a “One Team” environment. We encourage employees to take ownership and initiative, following our “Be Quick, Don’t Rush” philosophy. It’s a fast-paced work environment with plenty of learning opportunities and challenges. We build a strong sense of community, celebrate achievements, and connect our work to our mission of creating a healthier future.
