Develo is a cloud-based pediatric EMR and practice management system built for independent pediatric practices. It combines charting, charge capture and billing, scheduling queues, and a family portal in one system. AI features (provider and intake scribes, chart Q&A, e-fax auto-tagging, reports Q&A, form digitization) are built into the product rather than sold as add-ons, and clinicians review the output before it enters the chart. The platform handles pediatric-specific needs such as sibling and guarantor relationships, adolescent confidentiality, growth charts and vaccine workflows, and connects to state immunization registries, e-fax, e-prescribing and e-labs. It runs in the browser on AWS, ships updates weekly, and is ONC-certified and FHIR-native. Pricing is a per-practitioner monthly fee that bundles data migration, training, go-live support, a dedicated customer success manager and 24/7 on-call coverage for critical issues. The company was founded in 2022, is based in Los Angeles, and reports that hundreds of of pediatricians now run their practices on it.
