Our Origin Story

Building ODAIA

ODAIA was founded in 2018 with a bold ambition: to transform how life sciences companies connect with healthcare providers and ultimately benefit patients. Confronted by an industry overwhelmed with fragmented data and inefficient commercial processes, our founders saw an opportunity to make a difference—leveraging AI and automation to simplify complexity, spark innovation, and accelerate time to therapy for patients everywhere.
Today, our AI-powered solutions unify commercial data and empower teams to drive smarter engagement, better outcomes, and meaningful impact for healthcare providers and the patients they serve. While the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, our commitment to innovation, partnership, and improved patient journeys remains at the heart of everything we do.
