About Kno2

Kno2 operates as a central player in the healthcare communication sector, aiming to address the persistent issue of interoperability. Founded in 2010 by Jon Elwell, the company has established a communication API that facilitates the secure and efficient exchange of patient information. This network connects a wide array of stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, payers, and various IT vendors. Jon Elwell, who also served as the initial CEO, brought leadership experience from his prior role as CEO of ScripPoint.

The core of Kno2's business is its network, which unifies disparate systems and communication standards like Direct Secure Messaging and digital faxing. Instead of building multiple individual connections, organizations can link to the Kno2 Communication API once to gain access to a broad network of electronic health record systems (EHRs), healthcare organizations, and other technologies. This model simplifies the process of sharing critical patient data, which has historically been a fragmented and cumbersome process. The company's platform is designed to handle a large volume of transactions, having processed over 1.2 billion healthcare transactions and connected more than 3 million providers.

Kno2 generates revenue through a subscription-based model, offering different tiers of service to its clients, which range from small provider practices to large health systems and technology partners. The platform's value proposition lies in its ability to streamline workflows, reduce administrative burdens associated with manual data exchange, and ultimately improve patient care by ensuring that timely and accurate information is available at the point of care. By connecting to major interoperability frameworks, Kno2 positions itself as a comprehensive solution for healthcare data exchange.
