Vetsource | November 17, 2022
Vetsource®, a pet health company designed to provide innovative pharmacy, technology and business services to those who care for pets, launched a new brand identity to signal the official start of three brands coming together as a single, unified portfolio of solutions for the veterinary industry.
Already established as a leading provider of innovative prescription management and home delivery services for veterinary practices and pet owners since 2008, Vetsource announced the acquisitions of VetSuccess, a data and analytics provider, and Vet2Pet, a client engagement system, in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Since the acquisitions, the three companies have largely worked together under Vetsource corporate, while still maintaining their separate identities, to allow time to formalize and ease the transition for customers.
Information about Vetsource's client engagement, and data and insights services can be found on Vetsource's new website at Vetsource.com, which received a complete redesign to reflect the company's rebrand and comprehensive solutions. The Vet2Pet and VetSuccess websites will be automatically redirected to Vetsource.com and will support access to customer logins.
"Adding client engagement, and data and insights, to the Vetsource portfolio allows us to leverage their combined strength to add greater value for the industry. Our goal is to foster strong relationships and positive experiences so veterinarians can focus on what they do best – caring for pets."
Kurt Green, Vetsource CEO
The product sign-in URLs will remain the same for all three products. The Vet2Pet name will be retained as a product name under Vetsource's client engagement services.
"There will be no disruption of service for any of our customers. They will receive the same support and access to services they always have," said Green. "When the companies joined, so too did the same innovative and talented team of people their customers know and trust. We're lucky to now count them as part of the Vetsource family."
VMX attendees can find Vetsource at booth #1230 exhibiting its prescription management, client engagement and data and insights solutions for the first time as one united brand.

MedRhythms | December 12, 2022
CB Insights today announced that, for the second year in a row, MedRhythms has been named to its annual Digital Health 150, a list that showcases the 150 most promising private digital health companies. This recognition comes a week after MedRhythms received the Most Valuable Digital Therapy award at the Reuters Events Pharma Awards ceremony and less than a month after MedRhythms was named a Fast Company Next Big Things in Tech honoree for the progress that the company has made on its products and their potential to improve access to high quality care.
"From reimagining clinical care, to leveraging tech like AR/VR to improve surgical training, this year's Digital Health 150 winners are transforming the future of healthcare with digital technology. This increasingly global cohort, representing more than 18 countries across five continents, is not only driving better patient outcomes, but making healthcare more accessible. We are excited to follow the meaningful impact and continued success of this year's winners."
Brian Lee, SVP of CB Insights' Intelligence Unit
"Being recognized as a leader in the industry by CB Insights, Reuters Events Pharma and Fast Company is an incredible honor and is a testament to our entire team's commitment to our mission to positively impact the lives of those living with neurologic injury and disease," said Brian Harris, CEO and Co-Founder of MedRhythms. "These recognitions serve as validation of our team's progress to date and, more importantly, as motivation to keep advancing as we push the envelope in healthcare by building next-generation neurotherapeutics that leverage the power of music to bring important interventions to patients around the world."
Utilizing the CB Insights platform, the research team selected these 150 winners from a pool of over 13,000 private companies, including applicants and nominees. They were chosen based on factors including R&D activity, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, business relationships, investor profile, news sentiment analysis, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The research team also reviewed over 3,000 Analyst Briefings submitted by applicants.
MedRhythms is pioneering the development of next-generation neurotherapeutics designed to improve walking, mobility and related functional outcomes via a proprietary, patented technology platform. The company's platform combines sensors, software, and music with advanced neuroscience to target neural circuitry. The company is developing a pipeline of digital therapeutics across a range of neurological conditions, including stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. In 2021, MedRhythms announced an oversubscribed Series B financing round of $27M co-led by Morningside Ventures and Advantage Capital. Since raising the Series B financing, MedRhythms has announced that the company has entered into collaborations with Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's largest record label for music content and data, and Biogen, one of the first global biotechnology companies. MedRhythms' most advanced product, which addresses gait impairment in chronic stroke, received Breakthrough Device designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Earlier this year, MedRhythms finalized a worldwide licensing agreement worth up to $120M with Biogen for the company's second product, which targets gait impairment in multiple sclerosis. In addition to these two assets, the company has a strong pipeline in large markets with high unmet needs and is conducting feasibility studies in collaboration with some of the world's leading clinicians and researchers.
