Deal signals the next chapter in the company’s focus on driving digital customer experience and innovation in the payer, provider and life sciences sectors

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 8, 2021) – Emids, a leader in digital engineering and transformation solutions to the healthcare and life sciences industry, today announced the acquisition of Quovantis Technologies, an award-winning user experience design and software development company that enables health technology and product companies to deliver compelling digital experiences for web, mobile and wearables. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Emids, which has built its reputation as one of healthcare’s most trusted partners for health information technology (HIT) engineering and development, is going strategically upstream with this latest deal on the heels of its acquisition earlier this year of design-led engineering firm Macadamian.

The combined expertise puts Emids in a unique position, offering its clients industry-leading data science, engineering and business strategy acumen plus the ability to take an innovative idea from concept to MVP to full-scale enterprise solution and with speed to market.

“We take a human-centered and iterative approach to innovation,” said Quovantis Founder and CEO Tarun Kohli. “Our customers don’t have to wait months to launch their products to understand a product-market fit. We help them launch products incrementally, see what we did right or wrong, and then calibrate that.”

Kumar Kolin, Emids Chief Technology Officer, said “The addition of Quovantis now gives us permission to say, let us sit down with you to think about the problem you’re trying to solve for, let’s help you build, test and iterate that solution, and let’s see it all the way through with you and help figure out how to scale it for the enterprise. This puts Emids on the map as a top-tier product development partner, capable of the design, build and large-scale commercialization of novel digital ideas and technologies.”

Emids sees this as an increasingly important capability in the midst and wake of COVID-19, where Emids’ deep healthcare domain expertise puts its partners at a distinct competitive advantage in bringing mobile, web, cloud and emerging technology solutions to market faster.

Kohli describes Quovantis as, “The company that gets married to the users’ problems and creates delightful solutions using the combination of design, strong engineering culture, and iterative development approach. I like to think of design-led engineering as the connective tissue that brings Emids customers the benefit of nimbleness combined with a deep understanding of design-led engineering in the entire healthcare stack.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 28, 2021) – Emids, a leader in digital engineering and transformation solutions to the healthcare and life sciences industry, today announced another step in its purposeful growth strategy, this time adding global design-led software engineering capabilities through the acquisition of Macadamian, one of the largest and most respected healthcare specialist firms of its kind in the world. Terms of the deal, which closed earlier this month, were not disclosed. 

Emids has a strong track record of delivering complex solutions to its clients using its deep engineering and applications capabilities. The addition of Macadamian’s design-first capabilities is a perfect complement and will help both Emids and Macadamian customers work with a single partner that brings in great depth and breadth in domain, design and engineering. 

“Our customers have accelerated both their timelines and their investments in digital and virtual health solutions focusing on patients in the wake of COVID-19, and our acquisition of Macadamian very eloquently delivers the added sophistication that our payer, provider and life sciences partners need and demand when bringing to market digital solutions to transform the healthcare experience,” said Emids Founder and CEO Saurabh Sinha.

The Macadamian acquisition expands Emids’ global employee footprint to more than 2,300, with 109 expert designers, developers and engineers in Canada and Eastern Europe. Macadamian’s clients run the gamut from early-stage to Fortune 500 companies with a heavy concentration in biopharmaceuticals and medical devices. Macadamian further expands Emids’ IP, centers of excellence and platform capabilities, including its HealthConnect application development platform as a service, which has proven a powerful underlying architecture to accelerate the development of data-informed medical devices and digital therapeutic software applications for clients.

Dinesh Kandanchatha, Macadamian COO, said the key to delivering digital solutions that people need to live healthier lives or that providers need to deliver better care is to focus on people first and the technology second. 

“The technology dictates how digital solutions get delivered, but it takes a design thinking approach to first figure out what people need so that we can match those needs with what’s technologically viable and valuable to customers and to the market,” Kandanchatha said. “We look forward to joining forces with Emids to further scale the successful integration of data science, human-centered design and development to bring big ideas to life.”

Kumar Kolin, Emids Chief Technology Officer, said the addition of the Macadamian team and its superior capabilities catapults Emids’ standing in the space at a critical inflection point in healthcare’s digital transformation.

“Experience tells us that the greatest value we can bring to our customers and to consumers of healthcare – which is all of us – is to solve problems, remove the friction and improve the care experience for everyone involved,” Kolin said. “We believe in the power and the promise of design thinking and design-led engineering, and while design thinking is in no way a new philosophy, it’s certainly a philosophy and an approach whose time has finally come full circle for healthcare.”
