Vijay Reddy earned a master’s in computer science from Jackson State University in 1991. He’s worked in healthcare over 25 years, starting as a developer with OSI Systems, which later became MedPathic. Before leaving, Vijay would go on to serve as CIO. In 2006, he acquired ProClaimInc.
About 10 years ago, Vijay began to seriously consider the state of 21st century medicine and its rampant inefficiencies. According to the Institute of Medicine, roughly 250,000 deaths occur in the U.S. annually due to medical errors.
Given modern technology, Vijay could see no legitimate reason for this high rate of preventable deaths. As a result, he launched the enterprise that would become NubisHealth.
Drawing on his extensive contacts in the healthcare industry, Vijay assembled a diverse team of respected healthcare professionals to build the NubisHealth knowledge base. His team spent about a decade compiling and refining a proprietary system of almost 300,000 codes, including over 15,000 diseases.
Although Vijay started with a focus on healthcare providers, a shortfall in funding forced him to shift, and he eventually changed to a patient-facing model, with an emphasis on self-diagnosis. Vijay saw that, through a focus on self-diagnosis, he could encourage consumers to become active partners in their healthcare outcomes. Such proactive participation could, potentially, have an even greater impact in terms of reducing needless mistakes.
