OptimizeRx Corporation: OptimizeRx Launches Programmatic Access to Authenticated EHR Advertising at Scale

WALTHAM, Mass., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimizeRx Corp. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: OPRX), a leading provider of healthcare technology solutions helping life sciences companies reach and engage healthcare providers (HCPs) and patients at the most important decision points, today announced the launch of a new programmatic connection point between OptimizeRx's proprietary EHR network and DSPs, enabling media buyers to activate scalable, point of care campaigns within their existing programmatic workflows. This launch also opens up new access for OptimizeRx to the programmatic market, estimated at 90% of the total U.S. digital display ad spend across all industries.

Bridging Point of Care Impact and Programmatic Efficiency

Life sciences media buyers have long faced a tradeoff: activate high-impact campaigns within the EHR through managed programs or buy programmatically with limited or unverified access to real clinical decision moments.

With this launch, media buyers can now combine the speed, control, and transparency of programmatic buying with the precision to reach HCPs directly in their clinical workflow.

Media buyers will be able to:

• Activate EHR campaigns faster, directly through their DSP
• Self-manage the reach, frequency, and scale of EHR placements
• Seamlessly incorporate EHR advertising into their omnichannel strategies
  
  

"The EHR is one of the most impactful places to engage HCPs, but not every life sciences brand has a practical way to access it," said Steve Silvestro, Chief Executive Officer at OptimizeRx. "This launch changes that picture. Not only does it expand access to key clinical moments, but it also represents a step-change for DSPs seeking a competitive advantage in the life sciences market, opening the door to new demand, stronger client relationships, and higher industry revenues."

Expanding DSP Value in the Life Sciences Market

DSPs can now integrate OptimizeRx's EHR publisher network directly into their native platform environment, giving their life sciences clients access to premium point of care inventory within existing buying workflows.

By connecting OptimizeRx's proprietary EHR network to their programmatic platforms, DSPs can:

• Provide marketers with authenticated, bot-free EHR inventory previously unavailable at scale
• Differentiate their offerings with a high-value channel tailored to the needs of their life sciences clients
• Capture an increased share of the $19B+ pharma digital ad market by meeting the demand for greater point of care access
