Thank you, Balaji. Good morning, and thank you for your interest in Frisia. Our fourth quarter reflects continued solid performance. Total revenue was $41.8 million, up 27% year over year. The average number of provider clients was 1,808, up 13% year over year. Average revenue per provider client was $17,858, up 7% year over year. Life sciences revenue was $9.5 million, up 58% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $85,000. a decline of $1.4 million year over year, reflecting our continued investment in long-term growth. Our performance over the past year was truly a team effort. There are two unique aspects of the past fiscal year that I would like to highlight and acknowledge. First, the transition to remote work. From the earliest days of the pandemic, everyone at Freesia has had to adapt to full-time remote work. often in the same living space as their roommates or families who are working or learning remotely as well. This has allowed us to continue to grow our team to over 800 folks who work tirelessly for our clients and their communities. Our team grew 55% in fiscal 2021, with growth spread across all areas of our organization, service and support, sales and marketing, research and development, and G&A. The recruitment and onboarding of hundreds of new team members in the pandemic environment was particularly challenging. There is no playbook to draw from. Our human resources team and managers across the organization adapted to the new environment by testing new approaches to recruitment and onboarding that we believe will strengthen our processes going forward. We will continue to invest and learn together as we adapt our company to permanently remote-first environment. Second, the development of new solutions such as our COVID-19 screener, intake for telehealth, and vaccine delivery management, all of which were not part of our near-term product roadmap when we entered fiscal 2021. These modules are helping our clients operate safely and efficiently through the pandemic. We saw significant client growth with our average provider client count in the fourth quarter, increasing by over 200 clients year over year. These clients range from small ambulatory practices who are onboarded quickly to large health systems that engaged us and will likely look to expand their relationship with us over time. We will continue to invest across the organization to support our work with all the new and existing clients. Finally, we grew through acquisition. In October 2020, we integrated two web-based workflow applications co-developed by Geisinger and Merck that focused on patient communication and medication adherence respectively. In January 2021, we acquired QDoctor, an innovative company in our space who we have known for six years. Both of these additions to Frisia were led by our operating executives. I've asked Michael Davidoff, our SVP of Marketing and Business Development, to join us today to provide an overview of the QDoctor acquisition.
