Resources · Our story

Built by a surgeon, for the last patient of the day.

Dr. Austin Smith saw it every clinic day: the detail from each visit got lost between EMR screens, and what made it into the note was free text he couldn’t analyze. He studied engineering before he became a shoulder surgeon, so he built the fix himself, and he has charted with it since his first months in practice.

What we believe

We think the data is the product. The note is one thing you make from it.

Document the last like the first

The last patient of the day deserves the same complete record as the first.

Physicians should see their own work

Directly, without waiting on someone else’s report.

Say what’s proven

Every number we publish says where it came from.
