The team
This is a clinical product before it is a software product.
Care management is a medical discipline. What to ask, what counts as a warning sign, and when to escalate are clinical judgments, so our physicians make them, not software. They wrote and govern the clinical logic behind every check-in. The rest of the team builds, funds, and runs VitalityCall day to day.
