Lack of Structured Intelligence in Healthcare
As generative AI and other advanced technologies transform the industry, healthcare provider organizations face growing pressure to make faster, smarter technology decisions. However, most lack the structured intelligence, internal expertise, or dedicated resources needed to confidently evaluate an increasingly complex and crowded vendor landscape. Elion was created to address this gap.
Helping Health Systems Navigate AI Vendor Procurement
Elion is building a trusted platform that provides healthcare leaders with clear, credible insights into emerging technologies and the companies behind them. By combining a structured dataset of thousands of healthcare vendors with deep expertise in health system workflows, the platform delivers high-quality guidance to help organizations evaluate solutions with confidence.
Recent Milestones and Expansion Plans
Elion has already demonstrated significant traction, with over 60% of U.S. health systems utilizing its vendor marketplace and a 5x increase in usage over the past year. This growth reflects a rising trust in the platform as a key resource for decision-makers. The new capital will be used to accelerate platform development, support the launch of new products, and scale Elion’s reach across the healthcare ecosystem. To power this next phase of growth, the company is expanding its team in engineering, research, and marketing.
