Company Overview
OneMedNet is a global provider of clinical imaging innovation and curator of regulatory-grade Imaging Real World Data (“iRWDTM”). OneMedNet’s innovative solutions connect healthcare providers and patients satisfying a crucial need within the life sciences field offering direct access to clinical images and the associated contextual patient record. OneMedNet’s innovative technology proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging Real World Data (as defined below), an emerging market, and provides regulatory-grade image-centric iRWDTM that exactly matches OneMedNet’s life science partners case selection protocols and paves the way for Real World Evidence (as defined below).
OneMedNet was founded to solve a deficiency in how clinical images were shared between healthcare providers. This resulted in OMN’s initial product BEAMTM image exchange that enabled the successful sharing of images for more than a decade with OMN’s largest customer being the Republic of Ireland.
OneMedNet continued to innovate by responding to the demand for and utilization of Real World Data (as defined below) (“RWD”) and Real World Evidence (“RWE”), specifically data that focused on clinical images with its associated contextual clinical record. We were able to leverage internal technological competencies along with OneMedNet’s formidable healthcare provider installed base from its first product with BEAMTM to become the first RWD solution for life science companies with its launch of iRWDTM in 2019.
OneMedNet provides innovative solutions that unlock the significant value contained within clinical image archives. With a growing network of 1,400 healthcare sites, OneMedNet has the immediate ability to quickly search and extensively curate multi-layer data from a federated group of healthcare facilities. The term “healthcare sites” refers specifically to the hospitals, integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”) and imaging centers that provide imaging to OneMedNet, which represent the core source of our data. At present, OneMedNet has access to more than 1,400 sites who provide regulatory grade data to us.
Initially, it was all about solving the diverse access needs of patient care providers. This focus systematically evolved to addressing the rapidly growing needs of image analysis and researchers, clinicians, regulators, scientists and more. The federated network allows OneMedNet to access the following data to provide to research as RWD.
Real World Data is any data that is collected in the context of the routine delivery of care, in contrast to data collected within a clinical trial where study design controls variability in ways that are not representative of Real World care and outcomes.
A key component driving its mission is that OneMedNet believes we have a unique opportunity to affect a material positive impact on the lives of tens of millions of people while improving our customers’ business productivity. First and foremost, OneMedNet’s iRWDTM offering plays a significant role in enabling life science companies to bring safer and more effective patient care to market sooner. Using our highly curated de-identified clinical data in our iRWDTM offering in life science product development, validation, and regulatory approval processes, life science companies contribute to patient care advancements in more meaningful ways. Moreover, life sciences improve life science companies’ product development and validation processes, which benefits all parties.
Significant documentation exists that shows that Real World Data can provide expanded insights across broader and more representative patient populations. For this reason, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has instituted Real World Data guidelines for regulatory approvals. Utilization of highly reliable and quality Real World Data that strictly adheres to all of the very specific data stratification requirements can supplement or supplant clinical trials.
OneMedNet covers the complete value chain in imaging Real World Data; it begins with our 10+ year federated network of providers and is supported by a multi-faceted data curation process managed by an expert in-house clinical team. Additionally, we work hand-in-hand with our life science partners regarding the case selection protocol and, when required, producing case report forms for regulatory clearance. We are focused on delivering value by supporting life science advancements with OneMedNet’s iRWDTM which holds the key to unlocking boundless patient care advances. We believe we unleash the power of research-grade image-centric iRWDTM that is curated to meet every cohort requirement and stand up to the rigors of prospective clinical trials.
Today, life science companies, including pharmaceutical companies, artificial intelligence (“AI”) developers, medical device businesses, and clinical research organizations, share the same widespread challenge in obtaining insight-rich, high-quality patient data that explicitly matches their precise cohort specifications. A substantial portion of patient diagnosis involves clinical imaging, and approximately 90% of healthcare data, by size, is associated with imaging. Historically, much of imaging value has been derived from its initial review, and further gains from the image archives have been very limited.
We help providers to “Unlock the Value in Imaging Archives.”TM By utilizing OneMedNet’s iRWDTM offering, providers can greatly improve their research efforts with streamlined data access. Health care providers such as hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers can also accelerate life science patient care innovations by sharing de-identified data in a well-defined and de-identified and secure manner. In return for doing so, income is generated and applied to critical and possibly unfunded provider projects.
The OneMedNet Difference
We believe OneMedNet has been a leader in the business of extracting, securing, and transferring medical data for 10+ years. Doing so requires specialized expertise in:
- Compliance (HIPAA (as defined below), GDPR, 21 CFR Part11)
- Advanced privacy & security measures
- Clinical patient condition(s) and hospital processes
- Radiology interpretation
- AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) technology
Attaining in-house expertise in all essential elements is a challenge and we believe deters many organizations from attempting such a venture. We take pride in this ambitious achievement - while continually working to maintain state-of-the-art expertise. OneMedNet strictly adheres to the highest level of professional and ethical standards and applicable regulations throughout all interactions and activities.
We believe OneMedNet is a leader in the field of regulatory-grade imaging RWD curators. Doing so requires specialized expertise in AI/ML technology, data privacy/security, as well as expertise in clinical patient condition(s) and healthcare record keeping. Having, or achieving, expertise in all essential disciplines is a challenging achievement. OneMedNet had a significant head start with our clinical image exchange solution which served to launch the Company over a decade ago. All data remains “native” within the federated OneMedNet iRWDTM provider network - meaning all the data remains locally onsite until specific de-identified data is licensed for a particular life science research opportunity.
OneMedNet’s Competitive Advantages
We believe that OneMedNet iRWDTM offers the best of advanced technology, clinical expert curation, and service. Medical imaging and associated clinical data are indexed at each network site using state-of-the-art AI/ML technology. This typically includes electronic health records (“EHR”), radiology, cardiology, lab, pathology and more. Our in-house clinical team performs intensive curation of the data so that results meet the specifications and requirements of life science Data Collection Protocol (“DCP”) - regardless of the complexity.
We believe that OneMedNet unlocks the value in imaging and EHR data in the following three principal ways:
- Regulatory Grade - Our imaging results serve as proof of effectiveness for regulatory agencies, meeting requirements for quality & diversity.
- On Demand - Our powerful indexing platform accesses and harmonizes complete patient profiles across fragmented data silos, delivering images and records on-demand.

OneMedNet’s data is fully de-identified using a multi-step quality control process and goes beyond protected health information (“PHI”) to include personally identifiable information (“PII”), site identifiable information, and more. Importantly, life science users receive the data in the exact format that they require. No data sifting or manipulation is needed. The data is simply ready for use. Moreover, OneMedNet has the unique combination of knowledge, tools, and experience to:
- Access and harmonize complete patient profiles across fragmented data silos;
- Provide unmatched data accuracy and completeness;
- Ensure the security and privacy of patients’ PHI;
- Imaging RWD is our singular passion and focus and no one does it better.
3
Finally, OneMedNet has a team of highly experienced and clinically trained data curators. This team appreciates the complexity and criticality of clinical data and can effectively communicate with both providers and life science specialists.
Industry Background
A 2016 analysis published in the Journal of Health Economics and authored by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development placed the cost of bringing a drug to market, including post-approval research and development, at a staggering $2.87 billion. Meanwhile, a 2018 study from the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development noted that the timeline for new drug development ranged from 12.8 years for the average drug to 17.2 years for ultra-orphan drugs that only affect several hundred patients. This places the onus on life science organizations to find ways to deliver treatments to patients faster - especially those who cannot wait 17 years for a potentially life-saving treatment. Knowing how a medicinal product is actually used by patients can help stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem make important and potentially life-saving real-time decisions.
Real World Data is observational data typically gathered when an approved medical product is on the market and used by “real” patients in real life, as opposed to clinical trials or real world images for real patients. The FDA cites several potential sources of Real World Data, including EHR, claims, and disease and product registries. There are multiple types of data including structured and unstructured data, clinical and billing data, transactional and claims data, patient-generated data, and data gathered from additional sources that can shed light on a patient’s health status and more. As reliance on healthcare data grows exponentially, OneMedNet has observed that the reliance on information has increased coming from multiple additional sources including EHR, claims, registries, clinical trials, patient and provider surveys, wearable devices and more. These additional sources include the internet of things (“IoT”), social media forums and blogs. Real World Data has the potential to break down inefficiencies and fill gaps in information silos among stakeholders throughout the healthcare ecosystem of providers, payers, manufacturers, government entities and patients. This information sharing, in turn, enables all parties to derive new insights, support value-based care and deliver better health outcomes.
Commercializing a drug requires its developer to harness various sources of Real World Data to identify patient populations and refine sales and marketing strategies for those populations among many other undertakings. Historically, this practice involved purchasing large amounts of data from data aggregators or data platforms, if not directly from the source itself, sometimes without much knowledge about the quality of the data. Preparing this data for analysis is both expensive and time-consuming; thus, many organizations would outsource the process to consultants or third-party vendors. Moreover, the process of preparing this data for analysis by untrained consultants can yield a static analysis that is difficult to modify or rerun in response to follow-up questions or potential discrepancies.
Definitions of Real World Data and Real World Evidence
Real World Data has become a powerful tool in the life sciences industry. After decades of relying on clinical data as the gold standard for decision making, industry leaders now recognize how data collected in the real world adds valuable context and insight to their efforts. From identifying unmet medical needs and defining the patient journey, to supporting regulatory submissions, proving value to payers, and shaping market strategies, Real World Data adds value at every stage of the drug development lifecycle. Real World Data also sets the foundation for Real World Evidence, and while the terms are often used interchangeably, they are distinct, and they are changing health care. Here’s how it happens:
1. First, Real World Data are data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources. Real World Data is aggregated and transformed such as through OneMedNet’s robust analytics. Real World Data are the data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources. There are many different types, sources and uses of Real World Data, for example:
- Clinical Data - For example, clinical data from EHR and case report forms (“eCRF”) including biopsies and other pathology tests, diagnostic imaging, social determinants of health, cancer organoids, which provide patient demographics, family history, comorbidities, procedure and treatment history, and outcomes.
- Patient Generated Data - For example, patient-generated data from patient-reported outcome surveys, which data provide insights directly from the patient and help researchers understand what happens outside of clinic visits, procedures, and hospital stays.
- Cost and Utilization Data (Qualitative Studies) - For example, cost and utilization data from claims and public datasets, which data provides information regarding healthcare services utilization, population coverage, and prescribing patterns.
- Public Health Data - For example, public health data from various government data sources, which add critical information to enable stakeholders to best serve the needs of the populations they serve.
The availability of medical imaging in Real World Data such as that provided by OneMedNet is facilitated by the development of digital image analysis to increase the accuracy of diagnostics and conduct passive screening on large databases of medical images using AI algorithms such as those applied by OneMedNet. Algorithms can also help identify additional diagnostic tests of value from medical images with pathology.
Real World Evidence is the clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real World Data, as defined by the FDA. Real World Evidence can be generated by different study designs or analyses, including but not limited to randomized trials, including large simple trials, pragmatic trials, and observational studies (prospective and/or retrospective). The difference in Real World Evidence and Real World Data focuses on the end use case. Real World Data can take the form of claims, EHR, labs, data etc. Often this insight is used to better understand a patient’s journey or a natural history of a disorder (how does a disease progress if left untreated.)
Real World Evidence in contrast builds upon many of these data sets and prepares them for submission, as part of regulatory review such as to the FDA or the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), for example, in support of a customer’s clinical trial application. When data and, in particular, imaging data is submitted to the FDA, the agency requires the following:
- Guard against bias - evidence must align with the patient population being studied - expectations focus on the similar patient demographics, comorbidities, disease severity, etc.;
- Traceability - confirm the chain of custody, the source of the data is known and can be validated if required; and
- Go-forward basis - regulatory agencies seek evidence that aligns with the trial’s timeframe and, when possible, collect evidence that mirrors the clinical trial’s timeline.
One area where Real World Evidence has been relied on heavily relates to oncology approvals. The FDA’s Oncology Center of Excellence presented an analysis of this at the American Society of Clinical Oncology in 2021, looking at oncology applications containing Real World Data and Real World Evidence. That analysis looked at 94 applications that were submitted from 2011–2020 and showed that inclusion of Real World Data to support regulatory decision-making has increased dramatically over that period. In 2020 alone, there were 28 submissions for oncology products that contained Real World Data. Outside of the oncology context, probably the most notable recent example of an approval relying on Real World Evidence is the FDA’s July 2021 approval of a new indication for Astella Pharma Inc.’s’ drug program (or tacrolimus) for the prevention of organ rejection in lung transplant patients. The approval there was based on a non-interventional study providing Real World Evidence of effectiveness. FDA’s press release announcing the approval noted that the approval was “significant because it reflects how a well-designed, non-interventional study relying on fit-for-purpose Real World data, when compared to a suitable control, can be considered adequate and well-controlled under FDA regulations.”
An additional recent approval of note was the FDA’s December 2021 approval of the supplemental BLA (Biological License Application) for Orencia® to prevent graft versus host disease. The application included data from a randomized clinical trial, with additional evidence of effectiveness provided by a registry-based clinical study that was conducted using Real World data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. That registry study analyzed outcomes of 54 patients treated with Orencia® for the prevention of graft versus host disease, in combination with standard immunosuppressive drugs, versus 162 patients treated with the standard immunosuppressive drugs alone, and showed efficacy in that indication.
AI is employed in Real World Data to enhance data anomaly detection, standardization, and quality checking at the pre-processing stage. AI is expected to offer pharma and biotech companies the ability to increase meaningful Real World Evidence output, decrease time to insights, and make the most of the available vast data sources. A Real World Evidence technology platform that delivers smart data processing, analysis, and outcomes offers an unparalleled opportunity to capitalize on these computing advancements.
When used as part of an overall comprehensive Real World Evidence strategy, AI innovations can enhance drug development, improve patient treatment and access, and drive valuable new business opportunities.
In post-marketing studies, adverse events reporting is an area where AI is used, creating greater automation and efficiency in historical data sets. Techniques like natural language processing (“NLP”) enable AI to scan tens of thousands of records and quickly find adverse event details. AI-integrated analytics and automation provide access to crucial insights from historical clinical trial Real World Data and Real World Evidence, expanding end-to-end clinical trial capabilities:
- Data ingestion - publicly/historically available Real World Data
- Text extraction - NLP used to extract key entities from clinical trial documents
- Data transformation & standardization - data standardization using pre-built models
- AI model deployment - predicting trial design impacts on costs, feasibility, cycle times, and quality risk
AI is driving ground-breaking leaps in protein structure identification, and advances in regulations are providing healthcare research organizations with access to Real World data to accelerate clinical trial processes. We believe that AI-enabled technologies have unparalleled potential to offer innovative trial design and collection, organizing, and analyzing the increasing amount of data generated by clinical trials. AI has many applications in clinical trials, both short and long-term. AI technologies make possible innovations crucial for transforming clinical trials, such as seamlessly combining Phases I and II, developing novel patient-centered endpoints, and collecting and analyzing Real World Data.
OneMedNet believes that AI tools also have wider benefits for hospitals and health systems. Professor Alexander Wong, University of Waterloo Canada Research Chair in AI and Medical Imaging, points out that AI benefits include the potential to ease the burden on radiology departments in terms of assessing scans and predicting upcoming demand for general hospital and intensive care beds, and demand for equipment such as respirators and ventilators, medicines, masks, and ventilator mouthpieces, as well as aiding workforce planning.
Across a diverse set of imaging modalities, digital images typically include metadata and/or annotations that may include protected health information (e.g., patient name, date of birth). Although diagnostic images generally do not warrant the same level of privacy concerns as genomic data, researchers must also remove facial characteristics or other features that could identify a patient.
Digital image analysis can be used to support research and development by analyzing large volumes of tissue specimens or other medical images to run molecular screens that model biomarkers and treatment responses by transplanting a portion of a patient’s tumor into humanized mice or 3D tissue cultures derived from stem cells that resemble miniature organs. These models allow researchers to conduct controlled laboratory experiments that can inform treatment approaches and link predicted treatment response to actual clinical outcomes by linking this data to EHR, claims, and other sources of Real World Data. Similarly, preclinical studies can be informed by safety assessments conducted in animal models or studies of animal molecular biomarkers or anatomic abnormalities to minimize the burden on human study participants. Findings can also inform clinical trial optimization by stratifying participants according to predicted response and determining appropriate eligibility criteria.
2. Second, Real World Evidence is the clinical evidence about the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real World Data. Real World Evidence provides clinically-rich insights into what actually happens in everyday practice and why. The U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (“FD&C Act”) defines Real World Evidence as “data regarding the usage, or the potential benefits or risks, of a drug derived from sources other than traditional clinical trials.” In developing its Real World Evidence program, the FDA believes it is helpful to distinguish between the sources of Real World Data and the evidence derived from that data.
Evaluating Real World Evidence in the context of regulatory decision-making depends not only on the evaluation of the methodologies used to generate the evidence but also on the reliability and relevance of the underlying Real World Data; these constructs may raise different types of considerations. Real World Evidence refers to evidence about the risks and benefits of a product derived from analysis of the Real World Data. For example, the FDA has used Real World Data and Real World Evidence, derived from its Sentinel System, the largest multisite distributed database in the world dedicated to medical product safety, for monitoring the safety of regulated products, in place of post-marketing studies. It has carried this out for nine potential safety issues involving five products.
Real World Evidence is the clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real World Data. Real World Evidence can be generated by different study designs or analysis, including but not limited to, randomized trials, including large simple trials, pragmatic trials, and observational studies (prospective and/or retrospective).
Unlike traditional clinical trials, where necessary data elements can be curated and collection mandated, the creation of Real World Evidence requires assessing, validating and aggregating various, often disparate, sources of data available through routine clinical practice. Real World Evidence is used by different stakeholders in many different ways.
- It gives life sciences companies insight into how their drugs are being used.
- It helps providers improve the delivery of care.
- It enables regulatory authorities to monitor post-market safety and adverse events.
- It helps payers assess outcomes from treatments.
From Real World Data to Real World Evidence
The creation of Real World Evidence requires a combination of high-powered analytics, a validated approach and a robust knowledge of available Real World Data sources (e.g., what data is captured within existing quality registries, what data can be captured through EHR and case report forms or claims, and which patient organizations capture data on relevant patient cohorts). This process includes several steps, which are summarized here:
1. Defining a study protocol answering relevant clinical questions.
7
2. Defining which data elements can be collected from which Real World Data sources.
3. Establishing data capture arrangements and protocols with existing Real World Data sources.
4. Blending disparate data sources through probabilistic record matching algorithms.
5. Validating and supplementing blended data through editable eCRFs.
6. Defining and calculating clinically relevant outcomes and measures.
7. Appropriately assessing and controlling for variability in data quality, availability and confounding patient factors affecting measured outcomes.
8. Real World Evidence can provide a holistic view of patients that in many cases cannot be studied through traditional clinical trials.
Real World Evidence has been proven to fill a gap between research (what we learn) and everyday practice (what we do) in healthcare, and it creates a difference between what is expected to happen and what really happens. Driving measurable improvements in healthcare requires us all to be rooted in the reality of what actually happens before, during, and after clinical procedures, interventions, and office visits. Real World Evidence fills those gaps and documents the truth by establishing definitively what really happens when doctors treat a wide range of patients that do not look like the homogeneous patient groups in a clinical trial. Because of this, Real World Evidence serves many uses and provides many benefits across the healthcare ecosystem.
As more countries battle to contain healthcare costs, and as the population ages and the number of patients with chronic diseases increases, the need to remove inefficiencies and upgrade the delivery of coordinated care that improves outcomes is more pressing. At the same time, life sciences companies are facing tumultuous times. Industry globalization, the end of the blockbuster era, and an increasingly complex regulatory environment all add to the difficulty of bringing products to market. And across the board, companies are moving toward a patient-centric and outcome-focused model. In this environment, Real World Evidence can be transformative for the industry when Real World Data is combined with the right technology framework and the regulatory intelligence to make sense of it. As data is consumed across life sciences in different ways and by different stakeholders, it can provide valuable insights and “evidence” across the product life cycle. In addition, stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem use this new knowledge to support decision-making and improve safety and effectiveness, and ultimately, patient outcomes.
Uses of Real World Evidence in Life Sciences, Among Regulators, Clinicians, Researchers and Healthcare Systems
According to repeated studies by Deloitte, the importance of Real World Evidence continues to rise as it promises to accelerate regulatory decision-making and support the approval of new indications for drugs already on the market. Life sciences, pharmaceutical and medical device companies are significant consumers of Real World Evidence because it can provide value across the entire product lifecycle from pre-trial design to clinical studies and trials to post-market surveillance. Medical product developers are using Real World Evidence to support clinical trial designs (e.g., large simple trials, pragmatic clinical trials) and observational studies to generate innovative, new treatment approaches.
Real World Evidence can be used to make clinical trials more effective and efficient, for example in patient recruitment or label extension, Real World Evidence gathered from other studies or from currently marketed products in a similar category, for example, can have a positive effect on the product portfolio by exposing positive side effects as new potential indications. The most famous example is Viagra, which was initially studied as a drug to lower blood pressure, but an unexpected side effect led to the drug ultimately being approved for erectile dysfunction.
The benefits of Real World Evidence derived from Real World Data are increasingly being recognized by regulatory authorities. The FDA released a framework for using Real World Evidence to support the process of drug regulation and submission. This is a major step toward recognizing that clinical trials, while still relevant, are not the only way to assess the efficacy and safety of a product. Indeed, the FDA is soon expected to conduct its first full post-market safety approval using only Real World Evidence.
Real World Evidence is now accepted as a reliable source of information for regulatory decision making in certain circumstances. A primary rationale for the FDA to use Real World Evidence is to help support the approval of a new or extended use for a drug approved under the FD&C Act and to help support or satisfy post-approval study requirements always with the condition that the data quality is up to the standard required. In a recent statement, the FDA even noted how new tools for capturing data in the post-market period, including more sophisticated use of Real World Data and Real World Evidence are providing new approaches to address important questions about the safety and benefits of new drugs in real world settings and that these approaches have the potential to do to so more rapidly and with greater efficiency than traditional methods.
Why Do We Need Real World Evidence?
There is a gap between research (what we learn) and everyday practice (what we do) in healthcare, and it creates a difference between what is expected to happen and what really happens. But it is what really happens that matters. Driving measurable improvements in healthcare requires us all to be rooted in the reality of what actually happens before, during, and after clinical procedures, interventions, and office visits. Real World Evidence is here to fill those gaps and root us in truth. It tells us what really happens when doctors treat a wide range of patients that don’t look like the homogeneous patient groups in a clinical trial. Because of this, Real World Evidence serves many uses and provides many benefits across the healthcare ecosystem.
Uses of Real World Evidence in Pharmaceutical and Device Companies
Pharmaceutical and medical device companies are major consumers of Real World Evidence, as it can provide value across the entire product lifecycle. Real World Evidence plays an important role for research across the product lifecycle for both pharmaceutical and device companies. It can inform pre-trial study design by helping researchers identify potential patients and create proper inclusion criteria for clinical trials. Much of medical innovation is driven by traditional clinical trials, where new pharmaceuticals and devices are rigorously studied and tracked before they can be sold and widely distributed.
Although clinical trials are incredibly important to determine the safety and efficacy of new technologies, when compared to Real World Evidence, they do have some limitations. For example, a traditional clinical trial can have strict inclusion criteria that makes it challenging for providers to accurately extrapolate the results of a clinical trial to a broader population. Clinical trial participation is often limited by who the study administrators are able to recruit, and various demographics are often not able to participate. This again challenges the generalizability of clinical trial results across patient populations. Real World Evidence can help overcome the limitations of clinical trials by providing information about a broader cross-section of society. This can help clinicians, researchers, and industry partners better understand their products and how they work.
Once a product is approved and marketed, Real World Evidence assists pharmaceutical or medical device companies understand their products’ relative safety, effectiveness, value, off-label use and more. This post-market surveillance, or post-marketing surveillance, is valuable to stakeholders across the healthcare industry.
The AI-enabled patient enrichment and recruitment process can improve suitable cohorts and increase clinical trial effectiveness, data management, analysis, and interpretation of multiple Real World Data sources, including EHR and medical imaging data. This presents a unique opportunity for NLP to perform the sophisticated analysis necessary to combine genomic data with electronic medical records (“EMR”) and other patient data, present in various locations, owners, and formats - from handwritten paper copies to digital medical images - to surface biomarkers that lead to endpoints that can be more efficiently measured, and thereby identify and characterize appropriate patient subpopulations. AI-enabled systems can help to improve patient cohort composition and aid with patient recruitment.
AI technologies can help biopharma companies identify target locations, qualified investigators, and priority candidates and collect and collate evidence to satisfy regulators that the trial process complies with good clinical practice requirements. One of the most important elements of a clinical trial is a selection of high-functioning investigator sites. Site qualities such as resource availability, administrative procedures, and experienced clinicians with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the disease can shape study timelines and data quality, accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
AI integrated clinical trial programs can help monitor and manage patients by automating Real World Data capture, sharing data across systems, and digitalizing standard clinical assessments. AI technologies and wearable technologies can help enable continuous patient monitoring and generate real-time insights into the safety and effectiveness of treatment while predicting the possible risk of dropouts, thereby enhancing patient engagement and retention. To comply with trial adherence criteria, patients must keep detailed records of their medication intake and other data points related to their bodily functions, response to medication, and daily protocols. This can be an overwhelming and tedious task, leading to 40% of patients becoming non-adherent after 150 days into a clinical trial. Wearable devices/sensors and video monitoring are used to collect patient data automatically and continuously, thereby relieving the patient of this task. In combination with wearable technology, AI techniques offer new approaches to developing real-time, power-efficient, mobile, and personalized patient monitoring systems.
Among regulators, clinicians, academic researchers and healthcare systems, the reliance on curated Real World Evidence has grown significantly because of the value it can provide, which is unique relative to each parties’ objectives and mandates. It also helps that the FDA has also sharpened its focus on Real World Data and Real World Evidence. For example, in late 2022, the FDA published proposed guidance related to data standards for product submissions with Real World Data and also weighed in on the use of Real World Data and Real World Evidence to support regulatory decision-making for drugs and biological products with specific advice for data from EHR and medical claims. In addition, the FDA uses Real World Data and Real World Evidence to monitor post-market safety and adverse events and to make regulatory decisions. The health care community is using these data to support coverage decisions and to develop guidelines and decision support tools for use in clinical practice.
AI with deep-learning capability is also helpful in organizing and translating a vast amount of structured and unstructured data to Real World Evidence. The human mind can possibly manage 4-5 variables; therefore, AI-enabled data mapping and integration and their normalization into a common data model according to disease pathway and workflow will likely be useful for both quality management in clinical trials and generating meaningful insight for human disease by providing a broader perspective based on Real World data.
Market Size
The global Real World Evidence solutions market size was estimated at USD $2.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% from 2024 to 2030. The market growth is driven by rising demand for enhanced Real World Evidence capabilities within the life science industry, reflecting an increasing market shift from volume to value-based care. Advancements in data analytics and Real World Evidence contribute to supporting regulatory compliance, research, and solution development efforts in medical device and life sciences organizations. For instance, the increased demand for Real World Evidence solutions is prompting players to introduce new products, fostering market growth. In October 2023, Maxis Clinical Sciences launched Real World Evidence Solutions, providing diverse Real World Data capture and analysis to improve clinical research and care.
Government initiatives supporting Real World Evidence programs, evolving regulations, and actionable Real World Data enable organizations to conduct outcomes-based analyses, contributing to the overall market expansion. For instance, in December 2022, the FDA launched the Real World Evidence Program. This program aims to raise awareness that Real World Evidence can support regulatory decisions, identify approaches for generating Real World Evidence to meet post-approval study requirements or effectiveness labeling and develop agency processes that foster consistent decision-making and shared learning regarding Real World Evidence.
The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the adoption of Real World Evidence solutions, with governments collaborating with market players to implement these solutions. For instance, in June 2021, ConcertAI and the FDA initiated a five-year collaborative research program, Evaluation of Real World Outcomes and Safety in the Treatment of Cancer. The partnership leverages ConcertAI’s oncology Real World Data and advanced AI technology solutions to generate Real World Evidence for various clinical and regulatory use cases.
Real World Evidence solutions services allow pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers as well as payers by providing efficient management of operations and accelerating the process of drug development and its approval, which fuels market growth. Support from regulatory bodies for using Real World Evidence solutions and an increase in research and development spending are anticipated to boost the market growth.
The Real World Evidence solution providers are increasingly forming strategic partnerships with AI solution providers to offer integrated solutions. For instance, in April 2023, ConcertAI, a player in AI SaaS technology and Real World Evidence solutions for healthcare and life sciences, partnered with PathAI, an AI-powered pathology provider, to introduce a first-in-class quantitative histopathology and curated clinical Real World Data solution. This collaboration integrates ConcertAI’s Patient360 and RWD360 products with PathAI’s PathExplore tumor microenvironment panel. Based on end user, the global Real World Evidence solutions market is segmented into pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies; healthcare payers; healthcare providers; and other end-users (academic research institutions, patient advocacy groups, regulators, and health technology assessment agencies). The large share of this segment is primarily attributed to the increasing importance of Real World Evidence studies in drug development and approvals and the growing need to avoid costly drug recalls and assess drug performance in Real World settings.
With the growing need for evidence generated from Real World Data, the increasing importance of epidemiological data in decision making, and a shift from volume to value-based care, there has been an increased focus on patient registries, a rise in the adoption of EMR in hospitals, and exponential growth in mobile health data and social media, which have resulted in the generation of huge amounts of medical data. In 2021, the Real World datasets segment is estimated to account for the larger share of 51.2% of the global Real World evidence solutions market. According to Coherent Market Insights, the global Real World Data market is estimated to be valued at $7.51 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Our Long-Term Growth Strategies
Our long-term growth strategy is anchored on the following key pillars:
- Increase Global Reach to Meet Demand: Our strategy is to continue growing our global footprint into areas where we expect high demand growth in the global Real World Evidence solutions market, which is projected to grow from $2.62 billion in 2024 to $4.55 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.2%. There is a rise in emphasis on evidence-based medicine that relies on Real World Evidence, which comes from Real World Data. Market players in healthcare industries, including regulators, healthcare providers, and payers are becoming more aware of the importance of using Real World Data for making informed decisions regarding comparative effectiveness, treatment effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and safety. As a result, the demand for Real World Data solutions is increasing rapidly, which is further driving the growth of the market. Regulatory agencies such as EMA and the FDA are making use of Real World Evidence in regulatory decision making processes. These regulatory authorities have frameworks and guidelines for using Real World Evidence and Real World Data in regulatory submissions, post-market surveillance, and drug approvals. As a result, the demand for Real World Data is rising, which in turn is expected to support growth of the market in the coming future. The use of Real World Evidence derived from Real World Data demonstrates value and cost-effectiveness of medical devices and drugs for healthcare technology assessment agencies and payers. With this Real World Evidence, market access becomes easier, and it also enables reimbursement negotiations. This further facilitates the inclusion of new therapies in the coverage of healthcare, which in turn creates major opportunities in the global market.
- Innovate Our Commercial Approach to Drive Incremental Market Share: We intend to expand our sales network across the globe, while simultaneously building out our sales infrastructure. We intend to focus on our target markets, which include (i) Imaging AI; (ii) medical device companies; and (iii) pharmaceutical companies, as summarized here:
- Enhance and Refine Our Service Offering: Building on our customer-centric mindset throughout our development, curation and commercial processes, we plan to continue expanding and improving our service offering. As we continue to expand into additional geographies globally, we plan to build upon these three pillars:
- Expand Our Product Offering: We plan to continually evaluate the benefits of expanding our portfolio into other high-growth, high-demand Real World Data and Real World Evidence solutions in the future.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On June 17, 2024, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, or the SEPA, with Yorkville. Under the SEPA, we have the right to sell to Yorkville up to $25.0 million of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time, over a 24-month period. Sales of our common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any shares of our common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by Yorkville, in certain circumstances as described below. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the SEPA, which include having a resale shelf for shares of our common stock issued to Yorkville declared effective, we have the right to direct Yorkville to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock by delivering written notice. Such purchase is referred to as an “Advance.” An Advance may not exceed 100% of the average of the daily trading volume of our Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the written notice. Yorkville will generally purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to an Advance at a price per share equal to 97% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price, or VWAP, on Nasdaq during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the written notice (unless we specify a minimum acceptable price or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day).
Upon entry into the SEPA, we issued Yorkville a $1.5 million convertible promissory note for $1.35 million in cash (after a 10% original issue discount), or the Initial Advance. The note bears interest at an annual rate equal to 0.0% (increased to 18.0% in the event of default as provided in the note) and matures June 17, 2025. The note is convertible by Yorkville into shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price based on a price per share equal to the lower of (a) $1.3408 per share (subject to downward reset upon the filing of the resale registration statement described below) or (b) 90% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock on Nasdaq during the seven trading days immediately prior to each conversion (the “Variable Price”), but which Variable Price may not be lower than the Floor Price then in effect. The “Floor Price” is $0.28 per share, subject to the Company’s option to reduce the Floor Price to any amounts set forth in a written notice to Yorkville. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default (as defined in the note), the note will become immediately due and payable. The issuance of our common stock upon conversion of the note and otherwise under the SEPA is capped at 19.9% of our outstanding common stock as of June 17, 2024 in order to comply with applicable Nasdaq rules. Further, the note and SEPA include a beneficial ownership blocker for Yorkville such that Yorkville may not be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of our common stock.
The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment of for shares of our common stock equal to $25.0 million. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no outstanding advances for which shares of our common stock need to be issued and the convertible note (Initial Advance) has been paid in full. We and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase the shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the SEPA, we paid Yorkville a $25 thousand cash structuring fee and a commitment fee equal to 526,312 shares of our common stock.
In connection with the entry into the SEPA, on June 17, 2024, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC no later than August 30, 2024, a registration statement for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of our common stock issued under the SEPA (including the commitment fee shares). We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within 30 days of such filing and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the 24-month commitment period. We will not have the ability to request any Advances under the SEPA (nor may Yorkville convert the Initial Advance into our common stock) until such resale registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. As of the filing date of this Annual Report, we have not filed a registration statement with the SEC.
Private Placements
July 2024 Financings
On July 23, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Off the Chain Capital, LLC (“OTC”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to OTC 1,297,059 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $1.0278 per share and pre-funded warrants exercisable for 1,323,530 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.0278 per share. OTC was required to prepay the exercise price for the pre-funded warrants, other than $0.0001 per share. The warrants and pre-funded warrants will be exercisable at any time after the date of issuance and will not expire. OTC is entitled to receive dividends on the pre-funded warrants, if declared, on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of our Common Stock.
On July 25, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Discovery Capital Management, LLC (“Discovery”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 2,301,791 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.85 per share.
We received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million from the July 2024 private placements, after deducting offering expenses of $0.1 million.
September 2024 Financing
On September 24, 2024, we entered into another securities purchase agreement with OTC, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to OTC 1,918,591 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.65 per share, warrants exercisable for 133,095 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.325 per share, and pre-funded warrants exercisable for 743,314 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share. OTC was required to prepay the exercise price for the pre-funded warrants, other than $0.0001 per share. The warrants and pre-funded warrants will be exercisable at any time after the date of issuance and will not expire. OTC is entitled to receive dividends on the pre-funded warrants, if declared, on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of our Common Stock.
We received net proceeds of approximately $1.7 million, after deducting an immaterial amount of offering expenses. We have not yet issued the 1,918,591 shares of our Common Stock in order to keep OTC’s ownership percentage below a defined threshold.
Government Regulation
Many aspects of our businesses are regulated by federal and state laws, rules and regulations. Accordingly, we maintain a robust compliance program aimed at ensuring we operate our business in compliance with all existing legal requirements material to the operation of our businesses. There are, however, occasionally uncertainties involving the application of various legal requirements, the violation of which could result in, among other things, fines or other sanctions. See “Risk Factors” for additional detail.
Regulation of Patient Information. Our information management services relate to the processing of information regarding patient diagnosis and treatment of disease and are, therefore, subject to substantial governmental regulation. In addition, the confidentiality of patient-specific information and the circumstances under which such patient-specific records may be released for inclusion in our databases or used in other aspects of our business is heavily regulated. Federal, state and foreign governments are contemplating or have proposed or adopted additional legislation governing the possession, use and dissemination of personal data, such as personal health information and personal financial data, as well as security breach notification rules for loss or theft of such data. Additional legislation or regulation of this type might, among other things, require us to implement additional security measures and processes or bring within the legislation or regulation deidentified health or other data, each of which may require substantial expenditures or limit our ability to offer some of our services.
In particular, personal health information is recognized as a special, sensitive category of personal information, subject to additional mandatory protections. Violations of data protection regulations are subject to administrative penalties, civil money penalties and criminal prosecution, including corporate fines and personal liability.
Data Privacy
Certain of our operations are subject to regulation under the administrative simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”). Federal regulations related to HIPAA contain minimum standards for electronic transactions and code sets and for the privacy and security of protected health information. Patient health information is among the most sensitive of personal information, and it is critically important that information about an individual’s healthcare is properly protected from inappropriate access, use and disclosure. Real World Evidence - information that allows us to examine actual practices and outcomes - is essential to increase access to care, improve outcomes, and lower costs.
OneMedNet uses a wide variety of privacy-enhancing technologies and safeguards to protect individual privacy while generating and analyzing information on a scale that helps healthcare stakeholders identify disease patterns and correlate with the precise treatment path and therapy needed for better outcomes. We employ a wide variety of methods to manage privacy requirements, including:
- governance, frameworks, models and training to promote good decision making and accountability;
- a layered approach to privacy and security management to avoid a single point of failure;
- ongoing evaluation of privacy and security practices to promote continuous improvement;
- use of technical, administrative, physical and organizational safeguards and controls;
- collaboration with data suppliers and trusted third parties for our syndicated market research and analytics offerings to remove identifiable information or employ effective encryption or other techniques to render information non-identified before data is delivered to us; and
- work with leading researchers, policy makers, thought leaders and others in a variety of fields relevant to the application of effective privacy and security practices, including statistical, epidemiological and cryptographic sciences, legal, information security and compliance, and privacy.
We have relied on expertise in the industry with de-identifying data. Our capabilities allow us to render data non-identified while still maintaining data utility, thus protecting privacy while still advancing innovation. Not only do we make use of de-identification techniques with respect to the data we hold, but we also share our expertise in this area with policymakers, regulators and others to help them understand de-identification methodologies and practical considerations to avoid re-identification risk. We operate in more than 100 countries around the world, many of which have data protection and privacy laws and regulations based on similar core principles (e.g., openness, accountability, security safeguards, etc.). We apply those principles globally and augment our practices to address local laws, contractual obligations and other data privacy requirements.
Our Compliance team, led by our Chief Compliance Officer, is comprised of privacy professionals and privacy law experts who drive our strategy and develop and manage our policies and standards. The Compliance team provides subject matter expertise related to the proper management of all data types. In addition, our Compliance team liaises with our Legal, Information Technology, Information Security and other teams so that privacy requirements are addressed in technology, contracting, offerings and other business activities.
The OneMedNet Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is our foundational privacy policy. It explains how, when applicable, we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information, including that of our personnel, consumers, healthcare professionals, patients, medical research subjects, clinical investigators, customers, suppliers, vendors, business partners and investors.
Regulatory Quality Compliance (FDA 21 CFR Part 11)
OneMedNet provides high-quality, de-identified, regulatory-grade imaging and clinical data; as such OneMedNet adheres to all applicable local and Federal regulatory quality requirements, including but not limited to FDA 21 CFR Part 11. OneMedNet maintains a rigorous and ongoing internal quality management system to enable the organization to produce high quality regulatory compliant clinical data for our clients and consumers. This program includes:
- Ongoing internal audits, policy reviews, and procedure testing to ensure validation, audit trails, legacy systems, and record handling and retention adhere to the latest regulatory guidelines and best practices; and
- Regular third-party or client-initiated external audits to assess the compliance of OneMedNet to ensure operations are in accordance with the applicable regulations, standards, policies, and standard operating procedures.
Human Capital Resources
Our workforce is comprised of approximately 22 employees (as of December 31, 2024), including approximately 1 part-time employee (references herein to “employees” include to the employees of our subsidiaries). Our Board of Directors and its committees oversee human capital matters through regular reporting from management and advisors.
Compensation and Benefits
We provide competitive compensation and benefits programs to help meet the needs of our employees. In addition to salaries, these programs (which vary by location of the employee) include a 2022 Stock Option Plan, health care and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, family care resources, and employee assistance programs, among many others.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenues during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) enacted in 2012. As an emerging growth company, we expect to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
- being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;
- not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
- reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and
16
- exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Available Information
We file with, or furnish to, the SEC reports, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. These reports are available free of charge via EDGAR through the SEC website (www.sec.gov (http://www.sec.gov)) and are also available free of charge on our corporate website (https://www.onemednet.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Risk factors
As filed, 56,751 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties we have described in this Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We may not be successful in preventing the material adverse effects that any of the following risks and uncertainties may cause.
You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report, including our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Any one of these risks and uncertainties has the potential to cause material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements expressed by us and a significant decrease in the value of our Common Stock and warrants. Refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of operating losses and may never achieve profitability in the future.
We have experienced net losses in each annual period since inception. We generated net losses of $10.1 million and $33.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $101.6 million.
We expect to continue to incur significant losses in the development, marketing, sale and delivery of our services. If we do not grow our revenues or if we lose existing customers, we expect to continue to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development, marketing, sale and delivery of our iRWDTM services, we may experience larger than expected future losses and may never become profitable. Moreover, there is a substantial risk that we may not be able to successfully commercialize our iRWDTM services, which would make it unlikely that we would ever achieve profitability.
OneMedNet believes it has demonstrated its quality and responsiveness in clinical imaging and curation of Real-World Data based upon success in compiling one of the largest networks of imaging centers (comprised of hospitals, imaging centers and clinics) throughout the United States covering more than 31 million Patient Records to date. On the global front, OneMedNet works with hospitals and life science companies around the world including in Ireland, United Kingdom, , The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Canada and South Korea and growing. We base these claims on our understanding of our competition in the United States and globally. However, if we were to lose these relationships with our network of imaging centers or lose our customers or our competitors’ technology surpasses ours, our competitors could claim a greater market share domestically or abroad, which could reduce our growth and our profits, which could harm our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As stated above, we have experienced net losses in each annual period since inception. We generated net losses of $10.1 million and $33.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $101.6 million. In their audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in this report, our auditors have expressed their concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate cashflows from operations and obtain financing. We intend to continue funding our operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements in the long term. There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful.
We may encounter difficulties in managing our attempted growth of our business, which could negatively impact our operations.
As we expand, market, sell and deliver our service offerings, we anticipate that we will need to increase our service development, sales and marketing and administrative headcount. Such an evolution may impact our strategic focus and our deployment and allocation of resources. Our ability to manage our operations and growth effectively depends upon the continual improvement of our procedures, reporting systems and operational, financial and management controls. We may not be able to implement administrative and operational improvements in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. If we do not meet these challenges, we may be unable to execute our business strategies and may be forced to expend more resources than anticipated addressing these issues.
We may acquire additional technology and complementary businesses in the future. Acquisitions involve many risks, any of which could materially harm our business, including the diversion of management’s attention from core business concerns, failure to effectively exploit acquired technologies, failure to successfully integrate the acquired business or realize expected synergies or the loss of key employees from either our business or the acquired businesses.
We may be unable to execute our business objectives and growth strategies successfully or sustain our growth and, as a result, this could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
The highly complex nature of our industry requires that we effectively execute and manage our business objectives and growth strategies, such as expanding our marketing and commercialization of our services in the U.S. and internationally, adding new customers, and increasing our service delivery capacity. However, we may not be able to execute these strategies as effectively as anticipated. Our ability to execute on these strategies depends on a number of factors, including, without limitation:
- our ability to obtain adequate capital resources to execute our growth plans;
- our ability to hire, train and retain skilled managers and personnel, including quality and production personnel, and marketing and commercial specialists;
- our ability to protect our existing and new services by registering and defending our intellectual property rights; and
- Our ability to successfully continue to add provider partners to the platform; and
- our ability to successfully add new customers.
To the extent we are unable to execute our growth strategies in accordance with our expectations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and future results of operations.
The Real World Data and Real World Evidence business market continues to evolve and is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in this industry or establishing and maintaining confidence in our long-term business prospects among current and future partners and customers.
The Real World Data and Real World Evidence business market in which we compete continues to evolve and is highly competitive. To date, we have focused our efforts on our expertise in clinical imaging innovation solutions that connect healthcare providers and patients and satisfy a crucial need for the life sciences. We offer direct access to clinical images and associated contextual patient records. OneMedNet proved the commercial and regulatory viability of iRWDTM, a promising emerging market, that exactly matches OneMedNet’s life science partners’ case selection protocol. OneMedNet has the immediate ability to quickly search and extensively curate multi-layer data from a federated group of healthcare facilities and to provide fast access to curated medical images that has proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging Real World Data and covers the complete value chain in imaging Real World Data, validated by an increasing federated network of providers. However, Real World Data and Real World Evidence has been increasingly adopted, and our current competitors have, and future competitors may have, greater resources than we do and may also be able to devote greater resources to the development of their current and future technologies. These competitors also may have greater access to customers and may be able to establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and competitive positioning.
Developments in improvements in Real World Data and Real World Evidence curation by competitors may materially adversely affect the sales, pricing and gross margins of our business. If a competing technology or process is developed that has superior operational or price performance, our business will be harmed. Similarly, if we fail to accurately predict and ensure that our Real World Data and Real World Evidence offering can address customers’ changing needs or emerging technological trends, or if our customers fail to achieve the benefits expected from our Real World Data and Real World Evidence offering, our business will be harmed.
We must continue to commit resources to develop our Real World Data and Real World Evidence technology in order to establish a competitive position, and these commitments will be made without knowing whether such investments will result in products potential customers will accept. There is no assurance we will successfully identify new customer requirements, develop and bring our Real World Data and Real World Evidence to market on a timely basis, or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our Real World Data and Real World Evidence obsolete or noncompetitive, any of which would adversely affect our business and operating results.
If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.
We depend on the talents and continued efforts of our senior management and key employees. The loss of members of our management or key employees may disrupt our business and harm our results of operations. Further, our ability to manage further expansion will require us to continue to attract, motivate and retain additional qualified personnel. Competition for this type of personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting, integrating and retaining the personnel required to grow and operate our business effectively. There can be no assurance that our current management team or any new members of our management team will be able to successfully execute our business and operating strategies.
A material breach in security relating to the Company’s information systems and regulation related to such breaches, cyber-attacks, or other disruptions could adversely affect the Company, expose us to liability and affect our business and reputation.
Information security risks have generally increased in recent years, in part because of the proliferation of new technologies and the use of the Internet, and the increased sophistication and activity of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists, cybercriminals and other external parties, some of which may be linked to terrorist organizations or hostile foreign governments. Cybersecurity attacks are becoming more sophisticated and include malicious software, ransomware, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data, substantially damaging the Company’s reputation. Any person who circumvents the security measures could steal proprietary or confidential information or cause interruptions in the Company’s operations.
We are increasingly dependent on our information technology systems and infrastructure for our business. We, our collaborators and our service providers collect, store, and transmit sensitive information including intellectual property, proprietary business information, and personal information in connection with our business operations. The secure maintenance of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Some of this information could be an attractive target of criminal attack by third parties with a wide range of motives and expertise, including organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” disgruntled current or former employees, nation-state and nation-state supported actors, and others. Cyber-attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication, and despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to such attacks or may be breached, including due to employee error or malfeasance.
We have implemented information security measures to protect our systems, proprietary information, and sensitive data against the risk of inappropriate and unauthorized external use and disclosure and other types of compromise. However, despite these measures, and due to the ever-changing information cyber-threat landscape, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be adequate to detect, prevent or mitigate security breaches and other incidents and we may be subject to data breaches through cyber-attacks, malicious code (such as viruses and worms), phishing attacks, social engineering schemes, and insider theft or misuse. Any such breach could compromise our networks, and the information stored there could be accessed, modified, destroyed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. If our systems become compromised, we may not promptly discover the intrusion.
Any security breach or other incident, whether real or perceived, could cause us to suffer reputational damage. Such incidents could result in costs to respond to, investigate and remedy such incidents, notification obligations to affected individuals, government agencies, credit reporting agencies and other third parties, legal claims or proceedings, and liability under our contracts with other parties and federal and state laws that protect the privacy and security of personal information. The Company’s failure to prevent security breaches, or well-publicized security breaches affecting the Internet in general, could significantly harm the Company’s reputation and business and financial results.
If we are unable to adequately protect or expand our intellectual property related to our current or future products, our business prospects could be harmed.
Our success, competitive position and future revenues will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products, methods, processes and other technologies, to preserve our trade secrets, to prevent third parties from infringing on our proprietary rights and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.
We will be able to protect our proprietary intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our proprietary rights are effectively maintained as trade secrets. Our industry involves complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, we cannot predict with certainty whether we will be able to ultimately enforce our proprietary intellectual property rights. Therefore, any intellectual property rights that may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, and may not provide us with the protection against competitors that we anticipate. The degree of future protection for our proprietary intellectual property rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage.
If we fail to comply with the extensive legal and regulatory requirements affecting the health care industry, we could face increased costs, penalties and a loss of business.
Our activities, and the activities of our collaborators, partners and third-party providers, are subject to extensive government regulation and oversight both in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. The FDA and comparable agencies in other jurisdictions directly regulate many of our most critical business activities, including product manufacturing, advertising and promotion, product distribution, adverse event reporting and product risk management. States increasingly have been placing greater restrictions on the marketing practices of healthcare companies and have instituted pricing disclosure and other requirements for companies in the health sciences industry. In addition, health sciences companies have been the target of lawsuits and investigations alleging violations of government regulations, including claims asserting submission of incorrect pricing information, improper promotion of products, payments intended to influence the referral of federal or state healthcare business, submission of false claims for government reimbursement, antitrust violations, violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and similar anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, or violations related to environmental matters. There is also enhanced scrutiny of company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including insurance premium and co-pay assistance programs and donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance. Violations of governmental regulation by us, our customers, and our partners may be punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including damages, fines and penalties and exclusion from participation in government programs. Actions taken by federal or local governments, legislative bodies and enforcement agencies with respect to these legal and regulatory compliance matters could also result in reduced demand for our products. We cannot ensure that our compliance controls, policies, and procedures will in every instance protect us from acts committed by our employees, collaborators, partners or third-party providers that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Whether or not we have complied with the law, an investigation into alleged unlawful conduct could increase our expenses, damage our reputation, divert management time and attention and adversely affect our business, and any settlement of these proceedings could result in significant payments by us. Risks relating to compliance with laws and regulations may be heightened as we continue to expand our global operations, which may result in additional regulatory burdens and obligations.
Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is subject to U.S. state and federal privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm.
The privacy and security of personal information stored, maintained, received, or transmitted, including electronically, is a major issue in the U.S. and abroad. Numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including state privacy, data security and breach notification laws, federal and state consumer protection and employment laws, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, govern the collection, dissemination, use, and confidentiality of personal information, including genetic, biometric, and health information. These laws and regulations are increasing in complexity and number, may change frequently, and sometimes conflict. Penalties for violations of these laws vary but can be severe.
While we strive to comply with all applicable privacy and security laws and regulations, including our own posted privacy policies, these laws and regulations continue to evolve, and any failure or perceived failure to comply may result in proceedings or actions against us by government entities or others or could cause us to lose customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Recently, there has been an increase in public awareness of privacy issues in the wake of revelations about the data collection activities of various government agencies and in the number of private privacy-related lawsuits filed against companies. Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use, retention, disclosure, or security of personal information or other privacy-related matters, even if unfounded and even if we are in compliance with applicable laws, could damage our reputation and harm our business.
Our operations could be damaged or adversely affected as a result of natural disasters and other catastrophic events.
Our operations could be adversely affected by events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, wars, health epidemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other calamities. We cannot assure you that any backup systems will be adequate to protect us from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware as well as adversely affect our ability to provide services. The impact of recent changes to United States trade policy, particularly as it relates to our workforce in Canada, may have a negative effect on our business if access to our platform in the United States is restricted for support and ongoing maintenance.
Our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) to offset future taxable income. An “ownership change” is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period. If we have experienced an ownership change at any time since our incorporation, we may already be subject to limitations on our ability to utilize our existing NOLs and other tax attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, the Business Combination and future changes in our stock ownership, which may be outside of our control, may trigger an ownership change. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit our use of accumulated state tax attributes. As a result, even if we earn net taxable income in the future, our ability to use these or our pre-change NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset such taxable income or tax liability may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future income tax liability to us. The Company has not yet conducted a formal study of whether, or to what extent, past changes in control of the Company impacts its ability to utilize NOL carryforwards because such NOL carryforwards cannot be utilized until the Company achieves profitability.
There is also a risk that changes in law or regulatory changes made in response to the need for some jurisdictions to raise additional revenue to help counter the fiscal impact from unforeseen reasons, including suspensions on the use of net operating losses or tax credits, possibly with retroactive effect, may result in our existing net operating losses or tax credits expiring or otherwise being unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities.
We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.
Our operations are subject to many hazards and operational risks inherent to our business, including: (a) general business risks; (b) warranty liability; and (c) damage to third parties (e.g., our vendors), our infrastructure or properties caused by fires, floods and other natural disasters, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, riots, cyberattacks, public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic (and other future pandemics or epidemics), human errors and similar events. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, or similar pandemics, we have and may in the future experience disruptions that could severely impact our business and the business of our customers.
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover our liabilities related to such hazards or operational risks. For example, we do not currently maintain cybersecurity insurance and our insurance providers may take the position that our coverage, under present circumstances, does not extend to business interruptions. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable and commercially justifiable, and insurance may not continue to be available on terms as favorable as our current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant uninsured claim or a claim in excess of the insurance coverage limits maintained by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to risks related to holding bitcoin, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile
We began strategically investing in bitcoin during 2024 and may use our cash and cash equivalents to purchase more bitcoin in the future. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset that has traded below $41,000 per bitcoin and above $103,000 per bitcoin during 2024. In addition, bitcoin does not pay interest or other returns and so the ability to generate a return on investment in bitcoin will largely depend on whether there is appreciation in the market price of bitcoin following our purchases of bitcoin.
Purchasing bitcoin exposes us to various risks, including the following:
- Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of bitcoin may influence our financial results and the market price of our common shares;
- bitcoin and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty;
- our historical financial statements do not reflect the potential variability in earnings that we may experience in the future relating to bitcoin holdings;
- due to the unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of many bitcoin trading venues, bitcoin trading venues may experience greater fraud, security failures or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes, which may result in a loss of confidence in bitcoin trading venues and adversely affect the value of the bitcoin we own;
- the emergence or growth of other digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, could have a negative impact on the price of bitcoin and adversely affect our business;
21
- bitcoin holdings are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents;
- if we or our third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to our bitcoin, or if our private keys are lost or destroyed, or other similar circumstances or events occur, we may lose some or all of our bitcoin and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected;
- we may face risks relating to the custody of bitcoin, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access our bitcoin and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to our bitcoin; and
- regulatory change reclassifying bitcoin as a security could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin and the market price of our common shares.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our Common Stock may be subject to extreme volatility.
The trading price of our Common Stock may be subject to extreme volatility. We cannot predict the magnitude of future fluctuations in the trading price of our Common Stock. The trading price of our Common Stock may be affected by a number of factors, including events described in this section entitled, “Risk Factors” and in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC from time to time, as well as our operating results, financial condition and other events or factors. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities. Factors affecting the trading price of our securities may include:
- announcements by us or our competitors regarding technical developments and levels of performance achieved by our or their Real World Data and Real World Evidence offering;
- announcements by us regarding developments in our relationship with existing and future key customers;
- our ability to bring our products and technologies to market on a timely basis, or at all;
- our operating results or development efforts failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
- Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;
- changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results or the Real World Data and Real World Evidence industry;
- success of competitors’ actual or perceived development efforts;
- changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the Company or the Real World Data and Real World Evidence industry in general;
- operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company;
- disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our technologies;
- changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;
- our ability to meet compliance requirements;
- commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the Company;
- changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
- the volume of shares of Common Stock available for public sale;
- the level of demand for our Common Stock, including the amount of short interest in our Common Stock;
- any major change in our Board of Directors or management;
- sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;
- the expiration of contractual lock-up agreements with our executive officers, directors and certain stockholders, which we have entered into and may enter into in the future from time to time; and
- general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and the Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to the Company could depress our share price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Following certain periods of volatility in the market price of our securities, we may become subject to securities litigation. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, additional litigation following periods of volatility. This type of litigation may result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Although our Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our Common Stock does not develop or is sustained, our Common Stock may remain thinly traded.
On March 12, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “MVLS Nasdaq Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that for the preceding 31 consecutive business days, the market value of the Company’s listed securities (“MVLS”) did not maintain a minimum market value of $35,000,000 (the “Minimum MVLS Requirement”) as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). Nasdaq also noted that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(3), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum of $500,000 of net income from continuing operations. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 8, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement. Compliance could have been achieved if the Company’s MVLS closed at $35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq would notify the Company of its compliance and the matter would be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement by September 8, 2025, Nasdaq would have provided written notification to the Company that its Common Stock was subject to delisting. At that time, the Company could have appealed the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.
In addition, on April 10, 2025, the Company received a separate notice (the “Bid Price Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that the Company, based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 7, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by October 7, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.
The notices from Nasdaq described above have no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or the trading of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. The Company is presently evaluating potential actions to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining the listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The listing rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:
- the liquidity of our Common Stock;
- the market price of our Common Stock;
- our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;
- the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our Common Stock;
- the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our Common Stock;
- the number of market makers in our Common Stock;
- the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our Common Stock; and
- the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our Common Stock.
Our principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over the election of our Board of Directors and approval of any significant corporate actions, including any sale of the Company.
Our founders, executive officers, directors, and other principal stockholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own a majority of our outstanding stock. These stockholders currently have, and likely will continue to have, significant influence with respect to the election of our Board of Directors and approval or disapproval of all significant corporate actions. The concentrated voting power of these stockholders could have the effect of delaying or preventing an acquisition of the Company or another significant corporate transaction.
We could be subject to securities class action litigation.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following a decline in the market price of their securities. In 2020, 22% of securities class action litigation filings were against defendants in the health technology and services sector, which accounted for 22% of new filings. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Common Stock and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our Common Stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our Common Stock to decline.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation of your shares of Common Stock for return on your investment.
We have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, either by us or by our existing stockholders, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Future sales in the public market of shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, shares held by our existing stockholders or shares issued upon exercise of our outstanding stock options or warrants, or the perception by the market that these sales could occur, could lower the market price of our Common Stock or make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, among other things, exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We may elect not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, may be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.
Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as provisions of Delaware law could impair a takeover attempt.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board of Directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:
- authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to our Common Stock;
- limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;
- limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings;
- requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;
- controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of Board of Directors and stockholder meetings; and
- providing our Board of Directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings.
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding Common Stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding Common Stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Common Stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Common Stock.
Risks Related to Being a Public Company
Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.
Our executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage the significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws to which we are now subject now that we are a public company. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of our Company. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which will increase our operating costs in future periods.
We have incurred and will continue to incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently face and will continue to face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that Legacy ONMD did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements has increased and will continue to increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we have not done previously. For example, we have created new Board of Directors committees and adopted new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements have been and will continue to be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (the auditors identified a material weakness and significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with our status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations has increased and will continue to increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs have required and will continue to require us to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and if our remediation of these material weaknesses is not effective, or if we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or operating results, which may adversely affect our business.
In October 2024, we identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting related to user access/segregation of duties, lack of a formalized control environment and oversight of controls over financial reporting, error in accounting for non-routine transactions, and lack of record keeping. Upon re-evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2024, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that we will adequately remediate the material weaknesses or that additional material weaknesses in our internal controls will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could result in additional material weaknesses, or could result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Such misstatements have resulted in the restatement of the financial statements included in this Annual Report, and misstatements could result in future restatements of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations in addition to stock exchange listing requirements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, result in a decline in our stock price, and cause us to be subject to litigation or regulatory enforcement actions.
We are in the process of remediating the identified material weaknesses in our internal controls, but we are unable at this time to estimate when the remediation efforts will be completed. If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, there will continue to be an increased risk that our future financial statements could contain errors that will be undetected. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses. The potential consequences of any material weakness could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further and continued determinations that there are material weaknesses in the effectiveness of our internal controls could impact the operations of our business, including our ability to obtain financing, impact the cost of any financing we obtain or require additional expenditures of resources to comply with applicable requirements.
Our business model is capital-intensive, and we may not be able to raise additional capital on attractive terms, if at all, and any additional capital we do raise through issuances of equity securities could be dilutive to stockholders. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
We can be expected to continue to sustain substantial operating expenses without generating sufficient revenues to cover expenditures. Over time, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds, including through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities or through obtaining credit from financial institutions to fund, together with our principal sources of liquidity, ongoing costs, any significant unplanned or accelerated expenses, and new strategic investments. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on attractive terms, if at all, when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Warrants
We may redeem unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to Warrant holders.
Our Public Warrants (as defined below) are currently exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. We have the ability to redeem outstanding Warrants at any time prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we send the notice of redemption to Warrant holders and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption rights even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the Warrants, as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the Warrants.
Redemption of the outstanding Warrants could force Warrant holders (i) to exercise their Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell their Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of their Warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by Data Knights, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), or its permitted transferees.
Cybersecurity
As filed, 4,755 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
OneMedNet manages cybersecurity and data protection through a continuously evolving framework, as described in further detail below. The framework allows us to identify, assess and mitigate the risks we face, and assists us in establishing policies and safeguards to protect our systems and the information of those we serve. Our cybersecurity program is managed by James Wang, our Chief Technology Officer. James holds a degree in computer science from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and has 19 years of development experience focused on architecture and security. In his career, he has led initiatives for companies to attain SOC2 compliance and PCI compliance for their product solutions. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has oversight of our cybersecurity program and is responsible for reviewing and assessing the Company’s cybersecurity and data protection policies, procedures and resource commitment, including key risk areas and mitigation strategies. As part of this process, the Audit Committee receives regular updates from the Chief Technology Officer on critical issues related to our information security risks, cybersecurity strategy, supplier risk and business continuity capabilities. The Company’s framework includes an incident management and response program that continuously monitors the Company’s information systems for vulnerabilities, threats and incidents; manages and takes action to contain incidents that occur; remediates vulnerabilities; and communicates the details of threats and incidents to management, including the Director Product Management, Head of Data, as deemed necessary or appropriate. Pursuant to the Company’s incident response plan, any incidents are to be reported by the Chief Technology Officer to the Audit Committee, appropriate government agencies and other authorities, as deemed necessary or appropriate, considering the actual or potential impact, significance and scope. The Company is not aware of any cybersecurity incidents or threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
We employ an array of data security technologies, processes, and methods across our infrastructure to protect systems and sensitive information from unauthorized access. OneMedNet maintains comprehensive identity and access management practices (e.g., roles and access privileges for each user; multi-factor authentication, privileged user accounts, single sign-on, user lifecycle management) and employs a variety of security information and event management tools. We developed, maintained and utilized a global integrated information security framework to guide our practices, based on relevant industry frameworks and laws, including, but not limited to NIST, GxP, HITRUST, the ISO 27000 family, COBIT, GDPR, and HIPAA.
The framework consists of policies, standards, procedures, work instructions and documentation. Information is classified into four categories to help individuals apply the right level of controls and safeguards to information, applications and systems. Our cybersecurity program focuses on all areas of our business, including cloud-based environments, data centers, devices used by employees and contractors, facilities, networks, applications, vendors, disaster recovery / business continuity and controls and safeguards enabled through business processes and tools. We continuously monitor for threats and unauthorized access.
We draw on the knowledge and insight of external cybersecurity experts and vendors, and our Chief Technology Officer’s experience in building solutions that are secure and compliant with our information security framework. OneMedNet leverages an array of security services and tools to secure OneMedNet information infrastructure and protect systems and information from unauthorized access.

We also have global incident response procedures, global service tools to log incidents and issues for investigation, and an ethics line to report concerns and follow up on matters already reported. The Compliance team, led by our Chief Technology Officer, develops and implements our strategy, as well as monitors systems and devices for risks and threats.
Properties
As filed, 404 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Our corporate headquarters in Eden Prairie, Minnesota is leased on a month-to-month basis. We have a remote work policy that allows for all employees to be remote on an ongoing basis. As a result, our employees are in permanent remote status and are not required to report to an office for work. We believe our current office space is adequate for our current operations and our anticipated future needs.
Legal proceedings
As filed, 945 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
We may be subject from time to time to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
We intend to recognize provisions for claims or pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates.
Management's discussion and analysis
As filed, 29,784 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report. See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Annual Report for a discussion of certain risks associated with our business. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The use of words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public.

Employing our OneMedNet iRWD™ solution, which securely de-identifies, searches, and curates a data archive locally, bringing a wealth of internal and third-party research opportunities to providers. By leveraging our extensive federated provider network, together with our technology and in-house clinical expertise, OneMedNet successfully meets the most rigorous Real World Data life science requirements.
Business Combination
On November 7, 2023, we completed the Business Combination, whereby a subsidiary of Data Knights merged with and into Legacy ONMD, with Legacy ONMD surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Data Knights. Following the Business Combination, Data Knights changed its name to “OneMedNet Corporation”.
The total consideration for the Business Combination and related transactions (the “Merger Consideration”) was approximately $200 million. In connection with the meeting of stockholders of Data Knights to approve the Business Combination (the “Special Meeting”), certain public holders (the “Redeeming Stockholders”) holding 1,600,741 shares of Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Continental”) in the trust account established in connection with Data Knights’ initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). Effective November 7, 2023, Data Knights’ common stock, warrants and units ceased trading, and effective November 8, 2023, our Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ONMD” and the Public Warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ONMDW.”
As a result of the Business Combination, holders of Data Knights common stock automatically received common stock of OneMedNet, and holders of Data Knights warrants automatically received warrants of OneMedNet with substantively identical terms. At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), all shares of Data Knights owned by the Sponsor (consisting of shares of Common Stock and shares of Class B common stock, which we refer to as the founder shares), automatically converted into an equal number of shares of OneMedNet’s Common Stock, and the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor automatically converted into warrants to purchase one share of OneMedNet Common Stock with substantively identical terms.
Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue
The Company generates revenue from two streams: (1) iRWD, which provides regulatory grade imaging and clinical data in the pharmaceutical, device manufacturing, contract research organizations, and AI markets and (2) BEAM, which is a medical imaging exchange platform between hospital/healthcare systems, imaging centers, physicians and patients. iRWD is sold on a fixed fee basis based on the number of data units and the cost per data unit committed to in the customer contract. Revenue is recognized when the data is delivered to the customer. BEAM revenue is subscription-based revenue that is recognized ratably over the subscription period committed to by the customer. The Company invoices its BEAM customers quarterly or annually in advance with the customer contracts automatically renewing unless the customer issues a cancellation notice.
The Company excludes from revenue taxes collected from a customer that are assessed by a governmental authority and imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. The transaction price for the products is the invoiced amount. Advanced billings from contracts are deferred and recognized as revenue when earned. Deferred revenue consists of payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Such amounts are generally recognized as revenue over the contractual period. The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable is recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts typically range from zero to 90 days, with typical terms of 30 days.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue is composed of our distinct performance obligations of hosting, labor, and data cost.
General and Administrative
General and administrative functions include finance, legal, operations, human resources, and information technology support. These functions include costs for items such as salaries and benefits and other personnel-related costs, maintenance and supplies, professional fees for external legal, accounting, and other consulting services, and depreciation expense.
Research and Development
Costs incurred in the research and development of our products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include personnel, contracted services, materials, and indirect costs involved in the design and development of new products and services, as well as hosting expense.
Sales and Marketing
Our sales and marketing costs consist of labor and tradeshow costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest incurred on our outstanding debt facilities, including loans with related parties, deferred underwriter fees, insurance premiums paid in exchange for a note payable, and our line of credit.
Other (Income) Expenses, Net
Other (income) expenses, net, primarily includes the changes in fair value of convertible debt, change in fair value of PIPE Notes and change in fair value of Yorkville Note (as defined below) for which we have elected the fair value option of accounting. Convertible notes payable, which include convertible promissory notes and PIPE Notes issued to related parties, including accrued interest and contingently issuable warrants, contain embedded derivatives, including settlement of the contingent conversion features, which require bifurcation and separate accounting. Accordingly, we have elected to measure the entire contingently convertible debt instruments, including accrued interest, at fair value. These debt instruments were initially recorded at fair value as liabilities and are subsequently re-measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet at the end of each reporting period and at settlement, as applicable. Other income or expenses, net, also includes changes in fair value of warrants which are treated as liability instruments measured at fair value for accounting purposes, initially recorded at fair value and subsequently re-measured to fair value on our consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period. The changes in the fair value of these debt and liability instruments are recorded in changes in fair value, included as a component of other (income) expenses, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
At the Closing of the Business Combination, convertible promissory notes were converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing and were no longer outstanding as of the Closing Date.
Other (income) expenses, net, also includes change in fair value of our Bitcoin holdings, as well as foreign exchange and tax expenses related to the Company’s operations and revenue outside of the United States.

Revenue
| For the year ended December 31, 2024 | 2023 | Change 2024 $% | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subscription revenue (BEAM) | $351 | $878 | $(527) | -60% |
| Web imaging revenue (Real-World Data) | 292 | 143 | 149 | 104% |
| Total | $643 | $1,021 | $(378) | -37% |
Our revenue is comprised of sales made from our subscription revenue (BEAM) and from our web imaging (iRWD). For the year ended December 31, 2024, overall revenue decreased by 37%. The primary driver for the decrease in subscription revenue was the planned discontinuation of the BEAM platform in 2025. As we move away from the BEAM platform to focus on iRWD sales, we have stopped renewals for most of our customers leading to a $0.5 million decrease for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year. The primary driver for the increase in web imaging revenue was due to our enhanced focus on iRWD sales leading to increased customer deliveries during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year.
Cost of Revenue
| For the year ended December 31, 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of revenue | 924 | 1,150 |
| % of revenue | 144% | 113% |
The decrease in cost of revenue of $0.2 million was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.1 million in software and hosting costs due to the planned shutdown of our BEAM platform and a decrease of $0.2 million in personnel costs driven by decreased headcount. These decreases are partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in iRWD data charges as we shift our focus to the iRWD service line.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in total general and administrative expenses of $3.5 million was primarily due to an increase of $2.2 million in accounting, audit and tax related services, an increase of $0.8 million in legal fees, an increase of $0.4 million in insurance premiums and an increase of $0.1 million in other general and administrative expenses, each of which is attributable to enhanced public company reporting obligations and regulatory requirements after the Business Combination closed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses were $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.1 million for year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in total sales and marketing expenses of $0.3 million in 2024 was primarily due to a decrease of $0.3 million in personnel costs driven by decreased headcount.
Research and development
Research and development expenses were $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.1 million for year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in total research and development expenses of $0.6 million in 2024 was primarily due to a decrease of $0.4 million in stock based compensation expense and a decrease of $0.2 million in third-party contractor costs.
Interest Expense
During the year ended December 31, 2024, interest expense was primarily comprised of interest expense on loans made by related parties (Management and Directors) and interest expense on the remaining $0.4 million of deferred underwriter fees that are payable in cash. The increase of $0.1 million in 2024 is primarily due to receiving additional loans from related parties, as well as interest on deferred underwriter fees which did not accrue interest in 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, interest expense was only comprised of interest expense on loans made by related parties.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants
At the closing of the Business Combination in 2023, we issued warrants in connection with the PIPE financing and separately assumed certain private warrants from Data Knights. We determined that these warrants should be accounted for as liabilities, which are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value is mainly due to the resulting fluctuations in the market price of shares of Common Stock.
Change in Fair Value of PIPE Notes
At the closing of the Business Combination in 2023, we issued PIPE Notes (as defined below) that are convertible into shares of Common Stock and carried at fair value. The change in fair value is mainly due to the resulting fluctuations in the market price of shares of Common Stock.
Change in Fair Value of Yorkville Note
In June 2024, we issued the Yorkville Note (as defined below) which is convertible into shares of Common Stock and carried at fair value. The change in fair value is mainly due to the resulting fluctuations in the market price of shares of Common Stock.
Change in Fair Value of Crypto Assets – Bitcoin
The change in fair value of crypto assets – Bitcoin during the year ended December 31, 2024 reflects the increase in the price of Bitcoin, which we began strategically investing in using excess cash from our private placement transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not have any Bitcoin holdings.
Realized Gain on Sale of Crypto Assets – Bitcoin
The realized gain on sale of crypto assets – Bitcoin during the year ended December 31, 2024 reflects the increase in the price of Bitcoin upon sale compared to its purchase price. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not have any Bitcoin holdings.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability
The change in fair value of derivative liability during the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the issuance date fair value and remeasurement adjustment of the SEPA put option with Yorkville. The fair value is primarily driven by expected sales of our Common Stock to Yorkville and projections on the future path of the Company’s stock price during the commitment period. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not have the SEPA arrangement.
Change in Fair Value of Convertible Promissory Notes
There was no change in fair value of our Convertible Promissory Notes (as defined below) in 2024 because all previously outstanding principal and accrued interest was converted into shares of Common Stock at the closing of the Business Combination. As a result, no obligation remained on our Convertible Promissory Notes immediately after the Business Combination. The change in fair value in 2023 was due to the resulting fluctuations in the market price of shares of Common Stock.
Stock Warrant Expense
Stock warrant expense of $0.04 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to the issuance of the Helena Termination Warrants (as defined below) in December 2024 in connection with the Company’s termination of the Helena SPA (as defined below).
Stock warrant expense of $9.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 was due to the issuance of the Convertible Note Warrants (as defined below) during 2023 in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Promissory Notes. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, all Convertible Note Warrants were cashless exercised into shares of Legacy ONMD common stock and exchanged based on the appropriate conversion ratio for the Common Stock less an exercise price of $1.00.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were net proceeds received related to debt and equity financings and cash received from customers.
The following table shows net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities, net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities, and net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities during the periods presented:
| Net cash provided by (used in) | For the year ended December 31, 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Operating activities | $(6,983) | $(4,791) |
| Investing activities | (1,982) | (44) |
| Financing activities | 9,090 | 4,611 |

Operating Activities
Our net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, changes in fair value of liability classified financial instruments, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. The primary changes in working capital items, such as the changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue, result from the difference in timing of payments from our customers related to contract performance obligation. This may result in an operating cash flow source or use for the period, depending on the timing of payments received as compared to the fulfillment of the performance obligation.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we used $7.0 million of cash in operating activities, primarily resulting from our net loss of $10.1 million, offset by non-cash charges of $1.6 million and cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $1.5 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we used $4.8 million of cash in operating activities, primarily resulting from our net loss of $33.8 million, offset by non-cash charges of $28.4 million and cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $0.6 million.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities have consisted primarily of property and equipment purchases and Bitcoin purchases and sales.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million, consisting of $1.9 million in net purchases of Bitcoin and $0.1 million of purchases of property and equipment.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $44 thousand, consisting of purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $9.1 million, consisting of $6.3 million in net proceeds from the private placements in July and September 2024, $1.8 million in net proceeds from shareholder loans, $1.4 million in net proceeds from the Yorkville Note, partially offset by $0.2 million paid for the repurchase of Common Stock and $0.1 million in repayment of deferred underwriter fees.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.6 million, consisting of $4.2 million in proceeds from convertible notes, $1.5 million in proceeds from PIPE Notes, and $0.5 million in proceeds from shareholder loans, partially offset by $1.5 million in Business Combination costs paid.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments and Going Concern Outlook
Currently, management does not believe that cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to meet our foreseeable cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our foreseeable cash needs, in addition to our recurring operating expenses, include our expected capital expenditures to support the expansion of our infrastructure and workforce, interest expense and minimum contractual obligations. Management hopes to raise cash either through a public offering or private debt and equity offering. As a result of the Company’s recurring loss from operations and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product and service offerings, and the cost of any future acquisitions of technology or businesses. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may be unable to raise the funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
The following table summarizes our current and long-term material cash requirements as of December 31, 2024:
| Total | Payments due in: Less than 1 year | 1-3 years | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts payable & accrued expenses | $6,371 | $6,371 | $- |
| Loan extensions | 2,992 | 2,992 | - |
| Deferred underwriter fee payable | 3,250 | 3,250 | - |
| Loan - related party | 2,319 | 2,319 | - |
| PIPE Notes | 1,734 | 1,734 | - |
| Yorkville Note | 1,718 | 1,718 | - |
| $18,384 | $18,384 | $- |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenue, results of operations, and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet during and as of the reporting periods. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary because future events and their effects on our results of operations and the value of our assets cannot be determined with certainty and are made based on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained, and we may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the following critical accounting policies involve significant judgment and thus have the most significant potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
Although most of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, certain agreements contain multiple performance obligations. For customer contracts that contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction consideration to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation within the contract.
Subscription Revenue
Subscription revenues are generated from the Company’s data exchange (BEAM) product, which is a medical imaging exchange platform between hospital/healthcare systems, imaging centers, physicians and patients. Subscriptions to the BEAM platform offering are recognized over time as the customer consumes the benefits of the services as the Company stands ready to provide access to the programs throughout the subscription period. Subscription customers are invoiced either quarterly or annually in advance with the customer contracts automatically renewing unless the customer issues a cancellation notice. The timing of revenue recognition is based on a time-based measure of progress as the Company provides access to the programs evenly over the course of the subscription period.
Web Imaging Revenue
Web imaging revenues are generated from the Company’s data broker (iRWD) product, which provides regulatory grade imaging and clinical data in the pharmaceutical, device manufacturing, clinical research organizations, and artificial intelligence markets. Web imaging customers are invoiced in installments as the related data is delivered. Revenue from the sale of web imaging products is recognized at a point in time using an output measure of progress, which is based on the number of data units delivered relative to the total data units committed by the customer.
Fair Value of Certain Debt and Liability Instruments, and the Fair Value Option of Accounting
When financial instruments contain various embedded derivatives which require bifurcation and separate accounting of those derivatives apart from the host instruments, if eligible, GAAP allows issuers to elect the fair value option (“FVO”) of accounting for those instruments. The FVO allows the issuer to account for the entire financial instrument, including accrued interest, at fair value with subsequent remeasurements of that fair value recorded through the statements of operations. We elected the FVO of accounting for contingently convertible notes payable, including contingently issuable warrants and accrued interest, and certain term notes payable, including accrued interest, as further described below and as discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Convertible notes payable, the Yorkville Note and the PIPE Notes, which include the related contingently issuable warrants, contain embedded derivatives, which require bifurcation and separate accounting under GAAP, for which the Company elected the FVO for the convertible notes payable, Yorkville Note and PIPE Notes. In addition, certain term PIPE Notes were issued with separately exercisable and freestanding warrants to purchase Common Stock, were issued with substantial discounts at issuance and contained certain embedded derivatives to be bifurcated and accounted for separately for those term notes, unless the FVO is eligible and elected. Accordingly, the Company qualified for and elected the FVO for the entire PIPE Notes instruments. The convertible debt and accrued interest at their stated interest rates were initially recorded at fair value as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and were subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period presented within the consolidated financial statements. The changes in the fair value of the convertible notes payable and PIPE Notes are recorded in changes in fair value of convertible debt, included as a component of other income and expenses, net, in the consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value related to the accrued interest components is also included within the single line of change in fair value of convertible debt on the consolidated statements of operations. See additional information on valuation methodologies and significant assumptions used in Note 7, Convertible Debt, and Note 13, Fair Value Measurement to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The estimated fair values of the convertible promissory notes and PIPE Notes are each determined based on the aggregated, probability-weighted average of the outcomes of certain possible scenarios. The combined value of the probability-weighted average of those outcomes is then discounted back to each reporting period in which the convertible notes are outstanding, in each case, based on a risk-adjusted discount rate estimated based on the implied discount rate. The discount rate was held constant over the valuation periods given the fact pattern associated with the Company and the stage of development.

Controls and procedures
As filed, 4,031 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting which were not designed properly to ensure proper identification of non-routine transactions and ensure appropriate segregation of duties.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Controls - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2024 because of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting which were not designed properly to ensure proper identification of non-routine transactions and ensure appropriate segregation of duties.
Specifically, as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we completed the Business Combination on November 7, 2023. Prior to the Business Combination Data Knights, our predecessor, was a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date, because Data Knights’ operations prior to the Business Combination were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination. As a result, management is aware of material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control related to user access/segregation of duties, lack of a formalized control environment and oversight of controls over financial reporting, errors in accounting for non-routine transactions, and lack of record keeping. Due to the limited transactional volume currently experienced combined with our financial limitations, we do not currently have an expanded accounting department that would allow us to better segregate duties. Over time, as we continue to grow and add accounting staff, we expect to continue to enhance our internal control structure, including appropriate segregation of duties. During September 2024, changes were made to accounting personnel to enhance our financial reporting structure, which we expect to alleviate reporting pressures, including reporting of non-routine transactions. In addition, the new personnel has focused on creating central filing repositories to manage accounting records and other company documents.
As a “non-accelerated filer”, we are not required to provide an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
