Where it started,
and where we’re going

Founders Rima Abdel-Massih, MD, and John Mellors, MD, chief of the ID Division at UPMC (1999-2024) and Distinguished Professor of Medicine (2019-present), partnered to create Infectious Disease Connect to address the growing demand for ID expertise and expand its accessibility.

Since then, ID Connect has become a world leader in telemedical care of infectious diseases, antimicrobial stewardship, and infection control and prevention. At the heart of this success has been technological innovation, including the acquisition of ILÚM Health Solutions and its real-time decision support software. Our technology, precision medicine, and data science are paired with world-class ID physicians to effectively manage infectious diseases across the U.S.

Our Mission & Values

To improve access and enable world-class specialized ID expertise to enrich lives and improve outcomes in a cost-effective manner with compassion, respect, and integrity.

Compassion

Our software and services enhance the entire care experience for patients and their families. With ID Connect, the millions who wouldn’t have access to ID physicians now have the opportunity to receive the care they need.

Respect

Our software and services respect patients’ rights to receive the right care, at the right time, at the right place. By streamlining patient access to specialists and caregiver access to resources and data, the continuum of care improves.

Integrity

Our team is driven by professionalism and transparency. We employ best practices to prevent issues from arising, and we deliver solutions that make world-class care accessible in community care settings.
