**About CertifyOS** CertifyOS is building the data infrastructure that powers modern healthcare. Today, healthcare organizations rely on fragmented and outdated provider data.

Our API-first platform automates provider licensing, enrollment, credentialing, and network monitoring by connecting directly to hundreds of primary data sources. We help healthcare organizations maintain accurate, compliant, and reliable provider networks at scale. Our vision is simple: **One API. One provider ID. Frictionless provider data.** We’re backed by leading investors and built by a team with deep experience in provider data systems.
