NIHPO, INC.
MIAMI, FLORIDA

NIHPO, INC. is a Florida-based company headquartered in Miami-Dade County. Incorporated on September 10, 2007, NIHPO specializes in integrating health-related data across various agencies to enhance usability and decision-making for stakeholders. The company's flagship initiative is the creation of a search engine tailored for medical device data which brings together raw datasets from the FDA and HHS' OpenPayments. NIHPO operates on the premise that cross-linking disparate health data sources via an intuitive search engine can significantly improve outcomes for all users, with a particular focus on senior citizens and Spanish speakers. This user-friendly experience is part of their broader goal to make health-related open data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). NIHPO distinguishes itself by offering the full FDA MAUDE dataset, which includes comprehensive adverse event records and analytics not available from standard FDA resources. Users can subscribe to tailored alerts for medical devices, manufacturers, or device classes, enabling real-time monitoring of significant health developments. Additionally, NIHPO cross-references medical compensation data from HHS' OpenPayments with device adverse events, allowing stakeholders such as patients and hospitals to identify potential conflicts of interest in healthcare provider recommendations. Moreover, NIHPO's integrated search solutions support critical use cases like the 'duty to re-contact' for healthcare providers and aid in risk-adjusting maintenance schedules for complex medical devices. Through manual curation and harmonization of data from disparate sources, NIHPO ensures accuracy and efficiency in its service offerings. Managed by President Joseph Lacal, NIHPO is dedicated to empowering smaller medical device firms by reducing innovation barriers while promoting a seamless user experience through a minimalistic website interface devoid of any distractions. Its headquarters are located at 15625 NW 15 Avenue, Miami, FL, with additional details and activities on their official portal: nihpo.com.
