Symmetric Health Solutions

What Symmetric Health Solutions does

Symmetric Health Solutions is a Philadelphia-based, privately held healthcare data infrastructure company founded in 2018 that operates a clinical supply chain data platform serving hospitals, academic medical centers, and integrated delivery networks. The platform is built around a proprietary machine-learning matching algorithm that connects customer item master records to a curated database of 19 million+ healthcare supply chain items, each described by over 1,800 attributes drawn from 400+ global sources including the FDA, GS1, manufacturer websites, and international regulators. The system performs automated matching, duplicate resolution, multi-standard classification (UNSPSC, HCPCS, GMDN, GTIN), and clinical attribute enrichment (latex, sterility, implantable flags), and refreshes data nightly to provide continuous self-healing maintenance rather than project-based cleanup.

The product surface spans item master cleansing and enrichment, contract and PO alignment, spend analysis, point-of-use scanning, country-of-origin and tariff tracking, and a resiliency control tower, delivered via the Symmetric Terminal web application, APIs, and SFTP feeds, and pre-integrated with major healthcare ERPs (Oracle, Infor, Workday, Lawson, PeopleSoft, Meditech) and GPO ecosystems. Symmetric generates revenue through enterprise subscription contracts with multi-year terms, priced on a sliding scale based on health system size, facility count, data volume, and scope of services, with no per-seat or per-feature fees. The company reaches customers through a direct enterprise sales motion supported by content marketing, a free 48-hour item master audit, the HIRC partnership covering over 1,200 hospitals, and co-marketing relationships with Huron Consulting and Workday. Named customers include Boston Medical Center (which identified over $2 million in supply chain savings) and an unnamed academic health system that received 98,085 GTIN updates in 60 days; the company also states that the majority of Gartner's Top 25 IDNs are customers.
