Junction

Junction, formerly known as Vital, operates as a healthcare infrastructure company focused on unifying and automating patient data from disparate sources. Founded in 2021 by Maitham Dib, a former engineer at Babylon Health, the company aims to modernize the technological backbone of healthcare. Dib's personal journey, marked by numerous surgeries and a misdiagnosis, fueled his dedication to leveraging data for better health outcomes, leading him from aerospace engineering to the health tech sector.

The company's core offering is a single, developer-first API that provides access to a vast network of health data sources. This platform integrates with over 500 wearables and remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices, including well-known brands like Apple, Fitbit, Oura, and Dexcom. Additionally, it connects with more than 10 lab networks, such as Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics, facilitating seamless lab test ordering across all 50 U.S. states. This service supports various collection methods, including in-person visits, at-home test kits, and mobile phlebotomy services.

Junction serves a client base of digital health companies, wellness startups, insurance providers, and contract research organizations (CROs). The business model revolves around providing this integrated API to clients like Found, Parsley Health, and Evidation, enabling them to build applications for chronic condition management, personalized treatment plans, and clinical trial data collection. By handling the complexities of data integration and workflow automation, Junction allows its clients to focus on developing patient-facing solutions without the heavy engineering lift. Having secured an $18 million Series A funding round led by Creandum, Junction is positioned to expand its API network and scale its platform, which already supports over 500,000 lab tests annually and data from more than two million connected devices.
