Fio

What Fio does

Fio, operating under the Fionet brand, is a Toronto-based private health technology company founded in 2006 that develops the Fionet Suite, a mobile health platform designed to bring the IT infrastructure of major medical centers to decentralized community healthcare settings. The platform integrates four modules — Mobile EMR (electronic medical records delivered to the point of care and linked to national registries), Case Management Guidance (Ministry of Health protocol delivery that upgrades frontline worker proficiency), Point-of-Care Testing (AI-augmented rapid diagnostic test processing and quality control), and Data & Analytics (real-time geo-temporal, clinical, epidemiological, and operational insights). AI and machine learning are embedded across multiple technology layers to automate data capture, highlight risks, detect trends, identify outliers, and recommend public health campaign modifications.

Fionet generates revenue through subscription-based licensing of the platform to government health ministries, national laboratories, and large healthcare organizations, sold via direct enterprise sales. Documented deployments span at least six countries across North America (Canada, USA), Sub-Saharan Africa (Rwanda, South Africa, DRC), and South America (Colombia), serving customers including the Rwanda Ministry of Health's eCHIS program for community health workers, South Africa's National Health Lab Services managing 8 million HIV patients, Canada's LifeLabs and Toronto Pearson Airport, and the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Validation claims include 99.5% AI concordance with expert lab technicians, a 10x reduction in rapid diagnostic testing errors within six weeks of deployment, and malaria surveillance data 40% more accurate than incumbent DHIS2 systems.

The company is privately held, employs 51-100 people, and has raised approximately $72.2M in disclosed funding across multiple rounds from 2008-2019. Its go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales targeting government procurement processes and channel relationships with international health funders such as the Global Fund, rather than self-serve or SMB distribution.

Core offering

Fio sells the Fionet Suite, a mobile health platform for decentralized healthcare that combines four digital tool sets: a Mobile EMR that brings patient records to the point of care, Case Management Guidance that delivers Ministry of Health protocols to frontline workers, POC Testing that uses AI and automated quality controls for rapid diagnostic testing, and Data & Analytics that produces real-time geo-temporal, clinical, and epidemiological insights. The platform is designed to be mobile, light-footprint, bottom-up, simple, flexible, and affordable for community healthcare settings.

Product overview

Fio offers the Fionet Suite, a unified mobile health platform designed for decentralized healthcare in community settings. The platform integrates four core modules: Mobile EMR (electronic medical records that travel to patients), Case Management Guidance (protocol delivery and performance equalization), POC Testing (point-of-care diagnostic processing with AI-powered quality controls), and Data & Analytics (real-time insights and outbreak mapping). The architecture is mobile, light-footprint, bottom-up, simple, flexible, and affordable. The company also references the Fionet Platform variant used in enterprise deployments at airports and national health systems.
