"Data analytics is of deep interest to every stakeholder in health care." (New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst, 2018)
The national healthcare landscape is becoming increasingly challenging due to complex conditions, an intricate regulatory framework and growing patient needs. Facilities facing these hurdles incur both patient health and economic costs at staggering rates, as clinicians and administrators pool resources to respond in kind.
We aim to harness one cornerstone resource - data and its analytics - to arm care providers with analysis, explanations and foresight to enhance their continuing efforts to provide effective, patient-centric care. Indeed, as facility data systems become increasingly available, accurate, complete and accessible, we see an opportunity to combine the computational power of machine learning and the thoughtfulness of clinical domain knowledge to accelerate practices for allocating human and monetary resources in high-risk patient care.
OUR VALUES
1 Patients First: the patient journey and provider experience are the source of our motivation.
2 We focus on building technology that advances the delivery, quality and efficacy of care.
3 We do not believe in the “black box” model of machine learning. Our products emphasize explanations of each result and usability in a clinical setting.
4 Data science is an ever-changing and growing field, and we aim to continue developing products that push the boundaries of clinical science and technology.
5 We view every business opportunity as a partnership.
