The Vivify platform is used by providers and payers across the country, including Pittsburgh-based UPMC, Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based AdventHealth, Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger, and more. The startup has reportedly raised millions in funding since its 2009 founding, with investors including UPMC and Edmundson, Mo.-based Ascension’s venture arm.
