MEET OUR TEAM
Ben Swift
Chief Executive Officer
Ben is passionate about enabling healthcare technology startups to bring more efficient and collaborative models to market. When he’s not researching tech trends or challenging inefficiencies in the healthcare industry, you can find him tinkering with coffee roasting curves and plotting his next scuba trip.
Tim Prudhomme
Chief Technology Officer
Tim is a seasoned software engineer with a background in cognitive science, formal semantics, and symbolic logic.
When he’s not leading the development team at Unified, he’s usually researching how recent developments in AI can inform theories of cognition and perception – or bending sound waves in creative ways.
Matt Borel
Solution Architect
Matt brings a depth of experience in developing web and cloud-first architectures to the Unified team. When he’s not building systems to delight Unified users, you can find him tinkering with new video game concepts
Jeremy Lawrence
Chief Marketing Officer
Jeremy is an accomplished sales and marketing specialist who envisions a future where individuals can take ownership of their own healthcare. For over 10 years, Jeremy has been focused on solving both simple and complex problems that weigh down physicians in daily practice. He is focused on developing solutions which enhance the continuity of care for every patient. When he’s not helping each provider maximize clinical efficiency, you can find him on the golf course trying to fix his ridiculous slice or exploring local breweries.
Jake Swift
Clinical Applications Product Manager
Jake brings a diverse array of experiences to the team with over 10 years of experience in the ophthalmology field. He has technical experience in retinal imaging, angiography, and diagnostic equipment. Most recently, he’s been applying his expertise to software integration in the clinic setting, and he loves introducing our customers to the cutting edge of technology and data unification. When Jake isn’t supporting our customers in getting the most out of their Unified experience, you can find him exploring the outdoors on his OneWheel or spending time with his family.
James Diecidue
Head of Product
James loves building novel products with large, net-positive impacts. In the past, he founded Getwell (a forward-thinking optometry EHR) and Gratify (a Slack-based freelance platform). He studied information and sciences technology at Penn State. At Unified, he leads product and helps engineer our intelligent and equitable health platform for doctors, patients, and researchers. When he’s not optimizing Unified’s products, he writes music and enjoys all things fitness.
Tria Metzler
Vice President of Sales Operations
With a strong background in sales and marketing, Tria loves improving both the customer experience as well as internal team efficiency and communication. She is excited to be part of Unified’s mission to improve the healthcare experience for providers, partners, and patients. With close to a decade in the vision industry, she’s fascinated by the window into overall health that eye care provides. When she isn’t building relationships with customers, you can find Tria listening to audiobooks, hiking, gardening, or planning her next Halloween costume.
Kevin McGurty
Technical Support Specialist
Kevin loves solving puzzles, especially in service of helping others. Whether it’s helping people overcome hardware challenges or troubleshooting complex technical issues, he has a knack for getting to the root cause of a problem. His experience in technical support at Lombart Instrument sparked a curiosity for the eye care industry that has turned into a mission. When he’s not busy creating a better experience for Unified customers, you can find Kevin in the kitchen or walking in nature.
Max Cullifer
Software Engineer
Max brings a fresh perspective to the team after graduating from George Mason University with a degree in Mathematics and a concentration in Applied Mathematics. He is great at thinking outside the box and working with complex, abstract data. Max enjoys learning and solving puzzles, and he goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done well, not just done. When he isn’t coding Unified’s products, you can find him playing video games or picking up new skills such as piano.
Unified Imaging provides a cloud-based system for image capture, storage, and retrieval of ophthalmic instrument print data that interfaces with any instrument capable of printing.
The system was developed from the ground-up to be user friendly, inexpensive and to easily integrate into any office workflow.
The Unified Imaging solution is immediately applicable to practices with both old and new ophthalmic diagnostic equipment. Because we are not tied to any manufacturer, our instrument agnostic approach allows us to capture almost all image based instrument data.
The result is a single, simplified solution that allows eye care professionals to see a consolidated view of all patient data directly from the patient’s chart.
