Our multidisciplinary team of experts combines insights from various industries to innovate solutions to common healthcare data challenges. We are passionate about improving the healthcare environment to make the patient journey more predictable and successful. We complement our industry-leading technology with our team’s expertise to streamline workflows that have traditionally been roadblocks to hospitals efficiently harnessing their own data for patient care, quality, operational, and research initiatives. We believe that the path to a better patient journey starts with allowing nurses and physicians to once again focus on practicing and advancing medicine.

Bayesian Health offers an adaptive AI/ML platform that forecasts declining trajectories within a hospital/health system’s patient population. The research-backed platform is designed to empower providers with the ability to identify and intervene with next-best actions in a timely way. This is accomplished by sending accurate and actionable clinical signals for a wide range of critical condition areas within the EMR and existing workflows. As a result, physicians and care team members are able to catch life-threatening complications much earlier, leading to better patient outcomes and reductions in healthcare costs. This pioneering approach is referred to as Intelligent Care Augmentation. Why the name “Bayesian”? Optimal decision making relies on being good at pulling together lots of relevant data, knowing what to trust, integrating these data to create forecasts, and updating forecasts as new data arrive. That’s a Bayesian way of reasoning. Bayesian Health leverages best in class AI/ML techniques to enable this for care teams because decisions around our health deserve the best data and inferences.

Were building towards a world where hospital operations are safe, autonomous, fair, and cost-effective. Hospitals still run their most important operations—staffing, labor planning, and capacity—on paper, spreadsheets, and guesswork. The result: thousands of wasted hours, millions in unnecessary labor spend, and frontline teams stretched thin. Vitalize replaces this with intelligent, automated staffing operations to align labor supply with patient demand. Our platform gives clinical leaders real-time decision support to reduce manual work, lower labor costs, and unlock patient capacity across the enterprise. We are trusted by top health systems across the country, and have raised from top healthcare and technology investors.
