Healthcare SaaS — Seed Stage

Stop losing revenue to preventable readmissions

The only platform combining AI risk stratification, multilingual patient assessments, and Social Determinants of Health screening to help hospitals reduce 30-day readmissions—a $52B national problem—and protect CMS reimbursements.

The problem

Your hospital is already paying
for readmissions it could prevent.

Under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, CMS penalizes hospitals with excess 30-day readmission rates—up to 3% of total Medicare payments. At Baptist Health South Florida, readmissions climbed from a 19.7% target to 28% in Q2 2025—42% above goal. The most affected: lower-income households, Medicaid enrollees, and communities of color.

Our solution

One platform. Three ways we close the gap.

Most readmissions aren’t clinical failures—they’re missed social needs. We surface what EHRs can’t and route patients to the right support before discharge.

01

Risk-aware screening

Our assessment captures the social and behavioral factors that clinical data alone misses—housing stability, food access, medication understanding, and caregiver support—so care teams can identify who’s most likely to return within 30 days.

02

Multilingual, patient-facing assessments

Available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, our tool meets patients in their language. Plain-language questions (grade 5–8 reading level) surface barriers that discharge paperwork and EHR flags routinely overlook.

03

Actionable discharge guidance

Results route patients to insurance-specific resources and next steps—not a generic checklist. Designed to reduce the coordination burden on social workers and care managers, not add to it.

Our journey

We identified the gap, validated our approach, and built a working prototype.

Identified the Gap

Post-discharge care gap costing up to $52B nationally. Baptist Health readmissions hit 28%—42% above the 19.7% target.

Validated Our Approach

Interviewed social workers on real patient barriers. Consulted healthcare and technology experts to confirm our direction.

Built a Working Prototype

Personalized, accessible post-discharge guidance—live at app.vulnerablepatients.com—without adding provider burden.

How it works

From admission to follow-up, covered.

Identify

Screen patients at admission or during stay using our Social Determinants of Health assessment to surface hidden risk factors.

Assess

Patients complete a plain-language questionnaire in English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole—capturing barriers EHRs miss.

Guide

Results route to insurance-specific resources and actionable next steps, reducing coordination work for care teams.

Track

Risk scores and screening data give care managers a clear picture of who needs follow-up within the 30-day window.

Competitive advantage

Why this is defensible

Multiple reinforcing moats compound over time, making the platform more valuable with each hospital added.

SDOH-first screening at the bedside

Most readmission tools focus on clinical risk alone. We start with the social and behavioral barriers that actually drive preventable returns.

Multilingual from day one

English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole at launch—meeting patients in their language, at a 5th–8th grade reading level.

Insurance-aware routing

Results adapt to the patient’s coverage type, connecting them to relevant resources and next steps—not generic advice.

Built to integrate

Designed for future EHR integration (Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH). As hospital partners join, the platform’s data and resource network grow stronger.
