CloudMedx (YC W15) Helps Doctors Spot Patients Who Will Need Expensive Treatment 11 years ago

I'm one of the co-founders of CloudMedx. I wanted to thank all the people who commented. Its certainly very encouraging.

The premise of the company is to help organizations identify the high risk patients so that their physicians can spend more time and effort on providing better care and coordination. We are addressing this by using insightful and actionable data. The physicians and organizations that are using our system are making efforts to make costs more manageable for patients.

Our algorithms help predict readmission rates, comorbidity, and financial outcomes using evidence backed data and statistics from renowned institutions. In the end, we are not looking to remove physicians from the equation, nor are we replacing EMRs. Rather we are augmenting both with our actionable insights. When healthcare organizations are managing an entire population health, it provides opportunities for errors or sometimes even gaps in care. This is where we are looking to improve the process for physician organizations and hospital groups.

I hope these comments were useful. And I would love to talk to you individually. Please write to me and we can further discuss this in detail and talk about opportunities in this space.

Best, Tashfeen CEO CloudMedx

Thanks for your comment. The platform helps identify the high risk patients so that physicians can spend more time and effort on providing better care and coordination to improve their outcomes. A majority of heatlhcare utilization is being consumed by high risk patients due to redundancies, gaps in care, lack of data sharing. We are addressing those concerns by using insightful and actionable analytics. So that the financial burden is not felt by the patients :).
