Who We Are

Apelon is a clinical informatics company focused on accelerating eHealth through data standardization and interoperability. We help create semantic frameworks that improve data quality, comparability and accessibility.

For thirty-eight years Apelon and its predecessor, Lexical Technology, have collaborated with and supported many of the world’s leading public and private healthcare organizations to design, build and deploy clinical terminologies. Apelon’s personnel: computer scientists, medical informaticists, and clinicians, are recognized experts in vocabulary technology, dedicated to providing practical healthcare information solutions.

Apelon is committed to industry leadership, participating in commercial, academic and public-sector forums including AMIA, HL7, ISO, IHTSDO, HITSC, OpenHIE, and others (and if you don’t know what some of those acronyms mean, call us and we’ll tell you which ones to focus on).
