Seattle – Fax machines have been largely phased out of many offices, but health clinics still rely on them. One Seattle startup wants to change that and help clinics modernize how they electronically share medical records.
BloomAPI, founded by Seattle entrepreneur Michael Wasser, develops technology that lets doctors send medical records directly from one computer system to another — no faxing required.
The startup, with five employees in Seattle’s Belltown, raised $2.4 million in a seed round of funding from investors.
Wasser decided to focus his attention on the health care industry after he sold his previous software company, Raveld, to Apptio. He got a sense of the industry and realized a key communication link was missing.
