Our mission is to better people’s health and wellbeing. We do that by combining artificial intelligence with deep clinical knowledge to predict outcomes and present actionable information to healthcare providers. We also connect people to needed community services and community services to one another. By reducing manual effort our customers can spend more of their time helping people rather than entering, organizing or sifting through data.
