Our journey didn't start in a boardroom. It started in the clinic.

Our founder, a practicing physician, grew frustrated by the preventable risks caused by a fragmented health system. He witnessed firsthand how patient care was compromised simply because a medical history was trapped in another facility's disconnected EMR or an inaccessible paper file.
This wasn't an IT problem—it was a patient safety crisis.
Driven to create a real-world solution, he assembled a multidisciplinary team of top software engineers and public health experts. Their mission was clear: build a digital bridge, not another data silo.
A smart, lightweight layer that connects the diverse systems hospitals already have in place. We unlock critical data, create a unified health record, and empower clinicians to make the best possible decisions with the complete picture.
Today, a patient's health story is scattered across dozens of clinics, labs, and hospitals. This "digital Tower of Babel" isn't just inefficient—it's a barrier to quality care.
Providers are forced to work with an incomplete clinical picture.
Patients undergo repetitive and costly tests.
Critical information gets lost in the gaps, increasing the risk of medical errors.
Core workflows still rely on slow, untrackable paper forms.
Policymakers lack real-time data for informed decisions.
