What Panda Health does

Panda Health Inc. was a private digital health technology marketplace that connected U.S. healthcare providers with vetted digital health solutions for discovery, evaluation, procurement, and management. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Atlanta, the company operated a two-sided platform linking health systems and hospitals to technology vendors, with a curated catalog intended to reduce fragmentation in digital health sourcing.

The company's commercial model relied on marketplace commissions and platform-based monetization, with the primary customer segment being healthcare systems and hospitals. Its go-to-market was partnership-driven rather than direct-sales-driven: an August 2021 strategic agreement with Vizient, a major healthcare group purchasing organization, gave Panda Health distribution into Vizient's member hospitals alongside contracted savings. Panda Health was privately funded, including a corporate-led round led by Vizient in August 2021, with no revenue figures publicly disclosed.

Panda Health ceased to operate as an independent entity when it was acquired by AVIA in October 2025. The acquisition integrated Panda Health's marketplace capabilities into AVIA Marketplace, with the combined platform claiming digital health decision support coverage extending to over 75% of the nation's health systems. Post-acquisition, Panda Health operates as a subsidiary of AVIA.
