**What are we doing?**

Caret Health is a Silicon Valley-based early stage startup that provides a platform to increase clinical productivity for medical staff who perform virtual care. The platform enables virtual care programs to scale by reducing labor overhead and improving the ability to efficiently identify patients in need of treatment. 

We have already started to deploy our platform to the hospital systems in the US.
We are close to finishing our first financing round to make our product much better and impact so many lives.

**Why are we doing this?**

Our mission is to pioneer an outcomes-driven virtual care process that is easy to implement and efficiently connected. With our platform, fewer medical staff can take care of more people, which allows solving the problem of medical staff shortage today with such a high demand for them.

How are we as a company/project different from others? Why is it worth working with us?

The product has a real purpose influencing real people's lives. And you can become a part of it.
We have a good understanding of remote care processes, and we have a strong clinical team and very deep integration into medical organizations. 

Other virtual care products usually focus only on the patient experience. While this is fine for the first 50-100 patients, soon afterwards medical staff have a difficult time scaling these programs because their workloads become too burdensome. 

Our product, on the other hand, focuses on clinical operations and creating productive workflows that can efficiently scale to tens of thousands of patients. We have a team of clinical and operations staff that has unique experience and insights in solving this problem. For example, our clinical team pioneered one of the first virtual care programs in America in the early 2000’s. We have continuously refined and deployed our processes (albeit manually) across numerous hospital systems over the last 20 years - leading to successful scaling of these programs into hundreds of thousands of patients.

We are now looking to translate our clinical expertise into a robust, repeatable, and reliable technology platform that will be deployed into hundreds of hospital systems around the world.
