What SARC MedIQ, INC does

SARC MedIQ, Inc. is a private healthcare technology company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, with additional operational presence in Silicon Valley. The company builds an AI-powered cloud-native PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) platform deployed on Amazon Web Services infrastructure, serving radiology, cardiology, oncology, OB/GYN, orthopedics, pain medicine, vascular/vein, and podiatry practices. Its product suite comprises four solutions: SARC PACSFlow (AI-powered streaming cloud PACS eliminating CDs and manual uploads), SARC ShareSecure (HIPAA-compliant cloud-based image sharing with 2FA-protected links), SARC AiReports (AI-driven automated measurement and report generation), and SARC AiDictate (voice-to-report AI powered by AizaMD, trained on 500,000+ studies).

The platform integrates via DICOMweb and HL7 FHIR standards with EHR, RIS, and legacy PACS systems, featuring proprietary Universal Translator and Patient Data Aggregator components for cross-system data standardization. SARC MedIQ claims 2,000+ active physicians, 300+ healthcare facility deployments, and 10M+ patient data points analyzed by its AI. The company operates a subscription-based revenue model with monthly and annual billing tiers, supplemented by usage-based pricing for the Imaging On Demand (IMOD) service and incremental AI module licensing. Distribution is executed through direct enterprise sales augmented by channel partnerships including Athenahealth Marketplace, iCardio.ai, AIS, Pump, and E-Request LLC.

The company is founder-led by CEO Asaad Hakeem, Ph.D. and CTO Colin McCann, Ph.D., supported by COO Murtaza Saeed, Chief Architect Martin Smith, and an advisory board with clinical representation. SARC MedIQ has accumulated a dense regulatory and compliance portfolio including SOC 2 Type 2, TX-RAMP Level 2, HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and 21st Century Cures Act alignment. Only $1M in funding is disclosed since 2020, with no subsequent institutional rounds, suggesting the company has scaled primarily through founder capital, accelerator support (Google for Startups, UC Berkeley Health Engine), and revenue reinvestment. Revenue and ARR remain undisclosed.
