Overview
Zus Health, founded in 2020 by Jonathan Bush (co-founder of athenahealth), provides a shared health data platform that aggregates patient records into a Zus Aggregated Profile (ZAP) delivered via API, embedded components, and EHR integrations.

Zus partners with HIEs and data networks covering 270M+ patients across 70K+ provider sites per company materials.
Why Zus Health is interesting
