A medical records company that enables users to store encrypted health information on their smartphones set up shop in Anderson County after it was founded in Seattle, Washington, and received a patent on the technology.
“Making relocation decisions is always complicated, including on a personal level. The decision to relocate the company, its employees and their families is an enormous responsibility, ”said Eugene Luskin, CEO of Sync.MD, in a press release. “While business opportunities are key, there are many other aspects that are absolutely critical. It is the friendship and incredible personal support of Congressman Jeff Duncan that really made it possible for us to discover the hidden gem in South Carolina. It is this combination of a truly entrepreneurial business climate, great people and community, and the real American spirit and personal values that make South Carolina mutually beneficial. “
Founded in 2015 by startup Vyrty, Sync.MD helps patients connect otherwise incompatible medical record systems and meet the needs of veterans or others who need special care. Patients can install the app from Google Play or the iTunes App Store, scan data records into the app with a camera and forward them to doctors via QR code, according to the website.
According to a 2018 US listing, Vyrty raised more than $ 3.5 million in equity from 14 investors for the venture.
“The jobs moving here are high-paying tech jobs and more will be created in the future,” Duncan said in the press release. “When I first met the management team at Sync.MD years ago, I told them that South Carolina is a great place to do business and that we would love the opportunity to help them grow. I am thrilled that Sync.MD will serve our veterans and their customers around the world from here in Anderson. “
The new facility, which is expected to go online in the fall, will initially bring 10 jobs to the region and will make additional hires over the course of the summer.
“The Sync.MD landing in the Upstate represents areas where the Upstate is ready for growth – life sciences, technology, and landing site entry,” said John Lummus, President and CEO of the Upstate SC Alliance, in the press release.
