Mission that matters
Our product sits inside real-time clinical care. Every workflow you improve gives a clinician time back and makes a patient's documentation safer and more complete.
Already at scale
You'll ship to a deployment spanning hundreds of VA sites and tens of thousands of clinicians, plus a growing commercial base — with impact backed by peer-reviewed research.
AI-native ways of working
We're a frontier AI lab for healthcare, and we work like one: AI tooling is part of how you prototype, analyze, and ship every day.
Growth and training
Onboarding on our product, clinical documentation workflows, and customer base; HIPAA and security/compliance training (plus VA/federal training where relevant); shadowing implementations and site visits; and direct mentorship from the CTO.
