Remedy Health Media

What Remedy Health Media does

Remedy Health Media is a private, New York-based health media company founded in 1994 that originally produced and distributed consumer health magazines and has since pivoted into a portfolio of digital health media properties serving patients with chronic, serious, and rare conditions and the healthcare professionals who treat them. Through a series of acquisitions beginning with HealthCentral in 2011 and continuing with Vertical Health (2019), OBR (2020), and Patient Power (2020), the company has assembled six condition-specific media brands spanning chronic conditions, oncology, and HIV, supported by the Drops community mobile app, the Medfluencers Influencer Relationship Management platform (powered by Medfluencers Pulse® predictive AI), the Something Original creative studio, and The Room research and testing services.

The company operates a dual B2B/B2C commercial model. On the B2C side, it reaches patients and caregivers through six branded digital media properties and the Drops community app. On the B2B side, it monetizes through brand partnerships and advertising with healthcare and pharmaceutical clients, HCP influencer campaign management via Medfluencers (700+ credentialed digital opinion leaders across 40+ specialties), and creative production services through Something Original with pre-launch testing via The Room. Medfluencers Pulse® provides the technological differentiator, using predictive AI scoring and ICD-10-level insights to match healthcare brand campaigns with relevant HCP voices.

Remedy Health Media is a privately held company with 51–100 employees, headquartered in New York. It has raised approximately $23.3M in disclosed funding across rounds in 2017 (Praesidian Capital, ~$12.3M combined) and 2021 ($11M Series 2 from ADM Ventures, Apater Capital, Cibus Fund, and Henkel). Leadership includes CEO Michael Cunnion, CEO Steven L. Zatz, and Executive Vice President Andrew Schorr (co-founder of acquired subsidiary Patient Power). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company operates in the healthcare media and pharma marketing services sector.

Direct peers

• WebMD: The largest US consumer health information publisher, offering condition-specific content, patient education, and pharma-sponsored media. Directly comparable to Remedy's patient-facing brands (HealthCentral, Patient Power, TheBody) on advertising-led monetization and SEO-dependent audience.
• Healthline Media: Digital health publisher producing condition-specific content for consumers and serving pharma/healthcare advertisers. Highly comparable business model and content portfolio to Remedy's owned media brands.
• Everyday Health Group: Operates a portfolio of condition-specific consumer health properties and a professional division (MedPage Today), serving both patients and HCPs with sponsored content and creative services — closely mirroring Remedy's patient + HCP dual model.
• PatientPoint: Patient engagement platform delivering health content and interactive tools at the point of care, monetized through pharma sponsorships. Comparable mission of educating and engaging patients in condition-specific journeys via sponsored content.
• Inspire: Operator of patient communities organized by condition, with research and pharma partnership offerings. Directly comparable to Remedy's Drops community app and condition-specific patient audience model.

Broad incumbents

• Doximity: The largest professional network for US physicians with HCP-targeted marketing and news products. Comparable as an HCP audience platform and pharma marketing channel, though at much larger scale than Medfluencers.
• Sharecare: Digital health company combining consumer health content, wellness tools, and enterprise health solutions. Comparable breadth of consumer content plus B2B health services, overlapping with Remedy's media + pharma services stack.
• Medscape: Leading HCP-facing clinical news, education, and reference platform owned by WebMD's parent. Comparable to Remedy's MedCentral and Oncology News Central as HCP content and pharma-sponsored engagement destinations.

Emerging players

• Sermo: Physician social network and HCP insights platform used by pharma for engagement and market research. Comparable to Medfluencers' HCP community and pharma-sponsored insight offerings, though at a different stage and scale.
• Traackr: Influencer marketing platform with measurement and CRM capabilities used by enterprise brands. Comparable technology layer to Medfluencers Pulse® as a specialized influencer relationship management tool, with potential to extend into healthcare.
