Healthcare runs
on trust.
We build the
infrastructure
to earn it.

Overlay is the secure access layer connecting providers to the patient data they need — across any EHR, any system, any network.

The problem

Providers spend hours chasing records that should take seconds to access.

When a specialist sees a referred patient, they're often flying blind. Records are trapped in EHR silos. Fax machines remain the default. Authentication is manual, error-prone, and slow — costing clinicians time they don't have and patients the seamless care they deserve.

It's not a technology problem. The EHRs have APIs. The standards exist. The problem is the layer in between — the credential management, the authorization logic, the audit trail, the compliance wrapper — that no one has built cleanly and scalably for the healthcare market.

That's what Overlay is. A single, HIPAA-compliant access layer that sits in front of your existing systems, connecting any provider to any EHR — instantly and securely, without months of integration work.

Origin

Built for the
frustration
we saw
firsthand.

The idea for Overlay started from a simple observation: the tools connecting healthcare providers to their data hadn't kept pace with what modern software could do. Large EHR vendors had APIs — but accessing them required months of credentialing, complex integration work, and significant engineering investment that most practices simply couldn't afford.

Meanwhile, providers — the people actually responsible for patient outcomes — were left navigating a tangle of portals, fax machines, and manual workflows every time they needed to access records from a different system. Time wasted. Errors introduced. Continuity broken.

We set out to build what we wished existed: a turnkey access layer that small practices and large health systems alike could deploy in a day, without compromising on security or compliance. Not another EHR. Not another portal. The connective tissue underneath — the infrastructure that makes everything else work.

We're still early. But we believe the next generation of healthcare infrastructure will be open, interoperable, and built by teams who understand both the clinical stakes and the technical requirements. That's the company we're building.

Principles

What we believe

01

Security is non-negotiable

Healthcare data is among the most sensitive information that exists. Every architectural decision — every API design, every access policy, every deployment choice — starts with protecting it. Compliance isn't a checkbox; it's a constraint we design around from day one.

02

Simplicity is a feature

If a clinician can't use it in the middle of a patient workflow, it fails — regardless of how technically impressive it is. We obsess over reducing friction. The best integration is one nobody notices because it just works.

03

Infrastructure, not software

We're not building another application layer. We're building the plumbing — the kind of critical, unsexy, reliable infrastructure that every healthcare system depends on without thinking about it. That requires a different level of rigor, reliability, and long-term thinking.

04

Trust is earned through consistency

In healthcare, reputation is built through consistent, reliable, compliant behavior — not marketing. We don't over-promise. We don't move fast and break things. We ship carefully, stand behind our SLAs, and let the work speak for itself.
