Today’s emergency department and inpatient hospital settings create a challenging care environment. Hospitals struggle to meet patient expectations, waiting rooms are crowded, patients leave without being seen, patients are boarding in the emergency department, and clinicians struggle to deliver safe, quality care while documenting appropriately. We’re here to change this.

Vital is a platform for the modern hospital in 100+ facilities, serving nearly 1 million patients. Our goal is to help emergency and inpatient providers and patients make faster, safer and smarter health care decisions. We employ consumer design principles and artificial intelligence to deliver an amazing experience to our end users that drives outcomes and improves efficiency.

We are building a mission-focused, inclusive, and motivated team to scale our product to more patients. We are a distributed team with hubs in Auckland, Atlanta, and New York City. Vital is backed by prominent investors in health care, and founded by Aaron Patzer and Dr. Justin Schrager.
