Our mission

Healthcare providers are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Everyone prioritizes great patient care, but with staffing shortages, budget constraints, and burnout, it’s hard to deliver extraordinary care to every bedside. While the (healthcare) world’s problems can’t get solved in a day, there are small changes that can make a big difference.
PatientCompanion is a platform that streamlines bedside care, ensuring every patient request gets the attention it deserves, and the right information is delivered to the right person at the right time.
