The API-first EMR and care orchestration platform for digital-first healthcare providers.
Canvas Medical represents the next generation of clinical operating systems, explicitly designed for software-enabled care delivery organizations. Unlike legacy EHRs, Canvas is architected as an 'EMR-as-Code' platform, utilizing a FHIR-native backend that allows developers to program clinical workflows, logic, and interfaces via a robust Python SDK. By 2026, Canvas has established itself as the dominant infrastructure for Value-Based Care (VBC) entities and digital-first health startups, offering a headless clinical backend combined with a modular React-based frontend component library (Canvas UI). The platform's core technical strength lies in its ability to treat clinical protocols as executable code, enabling real-time decision support and automated administrative tasks. This architecture eliminates the traditional 'data silos' found in healthcare, ensuring that every data point—from patient vitals to billing codes—is instantly accessible and actionable via their API. It integrates seamlessly with the broader health tech ecosystem including labs, imaging, and clearinghouses through a unified interface, significantly reducing the engineering overhead for scaling multi-state clinical operations.
A Python-based SDK that allows developers to write code that executes during the clinical encounter to guide providers.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Data is stored natively as FHIR resources rather than being mapped to FHIR only during export.
Ability to use Canvas purely as a backend via API while building a custom proprietary frontend.
Rules-based engine that converts clinical documentation directly into billable claims with real-time scrubbing.
Integrated SMS, Email, and Telehealth capabilities exposed via API.
Extensive event-driven architecture notifying external systems of any change in the clinical state.
A React library of pre-built clinical UI components like charts, lab results, and medication lists.
A remote-first diabetes clinic needs to scale clinical protocols across 50 states with consistent quality.
