About Providi

Providi is the company behind Cerbo and OptiMantra, two practice management and EHR products built for the cash-pay personalized care market. Together they serve nearly 7,000 clinics, from functional, integrative and longevity practices to direct primary care, concierge, medspa and behavioral health.

Both products have served providers since 2011. Today we work as one team with one mission: to empower personalized care providers to deliver better patient outcomes and create thriving practices.

We are provider-first. We build the technology, data and tools that give independent providers theautonomy to run their practices their way. That means configurable clinical workflows, labintegrations, scheduling, billing and patient engagement, with more on the way.

Our name says what we do. “Provi” comes from provider, the people we build for. “Vidi” is Latin for “I see.” We see where personalized care is going, and we build for it.
