Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Rensselaer (RPI) Student Health and Wellness uses a "Student Health Portal". While the initial search suggested a possible connection to PyraMed due to a similar URL structure, further investigation indicates that Medicat is a widely used EHR system specifically designed for college health centers. One search result explicitly states that Wisconsin Lutheran College Health Services uses Medicat, referring to it as an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system and mentioning a Medicat Student Portal link. Another source identifies Medicat as the number one EHR software provider in college health. PyraMED is also described as a provider of EHR software for higher education, and has integrations with telehealth services used in college health. Given the strong presence of Medicat in the college health EHR market and the mention of a "Medicat Student Portal" by another institution using Medicat, it is highly probable that RPI's "Student Health Portal" is powered by Medicat. Although PyraMed is also a possibility, the search results lean more towards Medicat as the underlying EHR vendor for college health portals. Therefore, Rensselaer (RPI) Student Health and Wellness uses a patient portal branded as the "Student Health Portal". Based on the prevalence of Medicat in college health settings and the explicit mention of a "Medicat Student Portal" by another college, the underlying EHR vendor is likely Medicat.
