CareSpeak Communications, Inc., doing business as OptimizeRx, is a healthcare marketing technology company that enables omnichannel engagement between life sciences manufacturers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and patients. The company operates a point-of-care media platform that activates privacy-safe health signals through its Micro-Neighborhood® Targeting methodology to identify relevant HCP and patient audiences at clinically meaningful moments. Its product suite includes HCP Marketing (delivered via EHR and endemic health publisher networks), DTC Marketing, Synchronized Marketing (a coordinated HCP-plus-patient approach), CopayCue™ (a copay and adherence messaging product), and now Audio and CTV inventory extensions. The platform is augmented by AI-powered EHR messaging that has demonstrated a 110x lift in specialist referrals and a 23x higher referral rate in rare disease programs, indicating applied machine learning in audience identification and referral routing rather than AI being core to the entire stack.

The company monetizes through media sales and likely sponsored messaging placements sold on an enterprise, campaign-based basis to life sciences brand teams and their agencies. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting "world-leading life sciences companies," with agency channel partners extending reach. The firm is privately held, headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, US, was founded in 2006, and operates with 11-50 employees. Operational credibility is supported by SOC 2 Type II certification and membership in the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), the IAB, and the POC Marketing Association, all of which are typically required by large pharma procurement and privacy teams.
