ODX Celebrates 10th Anniversary!
The Optimal DX Platform is 10 years old! On October 17th, 2012 we had our first subscribers to what was then BloodChemSoftware! Since then, we have added over 3900 practices working in 74 countries delivering over 400,000 Functional Health Reports! We are nearly halfway to my goal of 1 million FHRs being delivered to patients.
I want to thank all of you that have subscribed to the platform. I am humbled that you choose us to provide these amazing reports for you and your patients. ODX is 100% supported by our subscriptions. Without you, there would be no ODX.
Thanks to Shane Redlick who has been with me since the beginning, and Liv, Daniel, Beth Ellen, Mike, Paul, Vanessa, Evellyn, and Jackie. We are a small but mighty team!
All the best,
Dicken
