PocketHealth: Transforming Imaging Workflows Through Innovation and Informatics Expertise

PocketHealth, a leading provider of software and AI-powered workflow automation solutions for healthcare organizations, has earned the 2026 Excellence in Imaging Informatics Award in the vendor category. Presented by the American Board of Imaging Informatics (ABII), the award recognizes PocketHealth's commitment to advancing imaging informatics while supporting the professionals who help drive the field forward.

PocketHealth helps hospitals and health systems streamline administrative and patient access processes, including referral management, scheduling, eligibility and prior authorization, image exchange, and patient communications. By reducing manual tasks and improving workflow efficiency, the company enables health care teams to spend more time focused on patient care.

But PocketHealth's commitment extends beyond technology. The company recognizes imaging informatics as a specialized discipline that requires a deep understanding of clinical workflows, industry standards, and the evolving needs of healthcare organizations. Because its products are closely integrated with radiology operations, PocketHealth values deep imaging informatics expertise and supports team members who choose to pursue the Certified Imaging Informatics Professional (CIIP) credential.

Supporting Growth Through Education and Certification

PocketHealth supports team members interested in the CIIP credential among employees and connects them with certified professionals across its broader network, creating opportunities for mentorship and knowledge sharing.

The company views the CIIP credential as a strong signal of deep imaging informatics expertise and credibility within the medical imaging industry. By drawing on that expertise, PocketHealth better understands the challenges customers face and the complex environments in which imaging technologies operate.

"CIIPs bring the context and expertise needed to effectively serve customers and contribute to the future of imaging informatics," says Rishi Nayyar, co-founder and CEO of PocketHealth. "Their perspective keeps our product direction grounded in the realities of imaging workflows and helps us build solutions that imaging professionals can trust.”

Empowering Better Outcomes Through Expertise

Certified Imaging Informatics Professionals play a critical role in informing PocketHealth's product direction. Drawing on deep knowledge of imaging workflows and healthcare operations, these experts help ensure that what PocketHealth builds reflects the real-world needs of radiology teams.

PocketHealth's recognition in the vendor award category reflects its commitment to combining innovative technology with investment in the people who make imaging informatics successful. Through employee development, industry expertise, and a continued focus on improving health care workflows, the company is helping shape a more efficient and patient-centered future for medical imaging.

"This award means a lot to PocketHealth because it's a recognition that what we've built meets the very high bar expected by imaging informatics professionals," says Nayyar. "Anything that touches radiology workflows is evaluated very carefully, so it's incredibly rewarding to know that the products we've worked so hard to build have earned the trust of such a discerning community. We hope to build on that by continuing to earn that trust and by continuing to push the envelope in helping healthcare providers focus more on patients and less on manual work."
