What Medisas does

Healthcare is broken and underserved by technology. Hospital software is too complicated, too convoluted, and too disconnected. Doctors and nurses spend more time clicking through prompts than checking in on patients, and the quality of care suffers as a result. We're going to change that, and have been able to do so for the care teams of half a million patients and counting.

Workflow & collaboration software for hospitals

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where our team is based. It's also an important hub for tech and healthcare innovation, which helps us stay connected to users and potential partners.
