Dot Health

What Dot Health does

Dot Health is a Toronto-based health data platform founded in 2016 that enables Canadian consumers and healthcare enterprises to aggregate, manage, and exchange personal health records across fragmented provider systems. Its core product is a consumer-facing mobile and web application that lets users request records from clinics, hospitals, labs, and pharmacies, track immunizations, allergies, medications, and family history, and interpret results through visualizations, a built-in glossary, and a resident physician Q&A feature branded 'Dr. M'. The underlying technology is a FHIR R5-compliant data engine that stores records as encrypted JSON using LOINC and SNOMED-CT terminology standards, secured by AES 256-bit encryption and OAuth 2.0 authentication, and compliant with PIPEDA, PHIPA, PIPA (Alberta/BC), ARPPIPS, and HIPAA.

The company operates three distribution surfaces: a freemium consumer app on iOS and Android, an enterprise platform called Dot Connect that enables healthcare providers, insurers, and pharmacy chains to digitally request and transfer records with consent management and a white-label mobile option, and a FHIR R5 REST API for technology partners. Revenue is generated primarily through B2B enterprise subscriptions on Dot Connect and API access, with the consumer app positioned as a freemium acquisition funnel. Notable commercial traction includes a deployment with one of Canada's largest pharmacy providers for digital-first prescription record access and an integration with Maple, Canada's largest online healthcare provider network, which auto-updates records after virtual consultations. The company is privately held and led by Founder and CEO Huda Idrees, with Chief Revenue Officer Stewart Aguanno and Medical Resident Dr. Shaun Mehta.

Core offering

Dot Health operates a real-time personal health data platform available as a consumer mobile app (iOS and Android) and a web application, enabling individuals to request, receive, and manage their medical records from clinics, hospitals, labs, and pharmacies in a single view. The enterprise sub-brand Dot Connect extends these capabilities to healthcare providers, insurers, and pharmacy providers through digital record request management, consent workflows, care plans, and an optional white-label mobile app. The underlying platform uses FHIR R5-compliant data models stored as encrypted JSON, secured with AES 256-bit encryption and OAuth 2.0, with an in-app resident physician (Dr. M) for medical explanations.

Product overview

Dot Health is a complete health data platform consisting of a consumer mobile/web app, an enterprise platform called Dot Connect, and a FHIR R5-based API. The consumer app enables individuals to request and manage personal health records from healthcare providers with features like Dr. M for medical explanations and health visualizations. Dot Connect extends these capabilities to healthcare organizations for digital record requests, consent management, and patient engagement. The Data Engine powers both products using FHIR-compliant encrypted JSON storage with standardized medical terminology.
