Our Founder’s Journey: From Tech Enthusiast to Laboratory Visionary
Jared Simmons didn’t simply embark on a professional journey; he carved a niche that bridged technology and healthcare, fostering innovation in laboratory operations. Originating from a family-owned computer business, Jared honed his expertise by offering system administration services to a diverse clientele. His journey took a pivotal turn when he immersed himself in supporting laboratories nationwide. This wasn’t just any support; Jared crafted custom integrations, enhanced the functionalities of lab systems, and developed specialized reports, addressing the nuances that pre-existing systems overlooked.
In 2019, equipped with industry insights and a fervent drive, Jared co-founded a clinical laboratory with fellow industry veterans. This hands-on experience sharpened his perspective on the intricacies of laboratory management. He identified a prevailing challenge: while many software solutions catered to laboratories, they either lacked comprehensive functionality or were prohibitively expensive. Moreover, there was an evident disconnect in understanding laboratory billing—a critical component that many systems inadequately addressed, resulting in operational frictions.
Driven by these observations, Jared envisioned Anima Software—a beacon of transformation in laboratory software solutions.
