Sutro Health: venture-backed start up working on optimizing communication
between healthcare providers, decreasing chaos and medical errors, and
increasing satisfaction.
We started Sutro Health because we believe that communication and
collaboration in healthcare is dangerous and defective.
Patients, their healthcare team, and the institutions where they seek care
are rarely on the same page. Archaic and fragmented technologies cause an
unimaginable waste of time, increased medical errors, and most importantly,
poorer patient outcomes.
Rarely has healthcare software been developed with healthcare providers in
mind (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, therapists and many others responsible
for patient safety). We are building software that parallels the simple, intuitive
technological experiences we rely on in our personal lives.
