Our take
The success of healthcare greatly depends on communication between patients, clinicians and caregivers, but despite modern technology, these communications systems are often antiquated. Silos within the medical sector result in fragmented software and communication systems, often preventing essential discussions that would lead to optimal patient care experiences.
Tendo Systems connects patients, clinicians and caregivers within a patient care journey through unified software to provide exceptional healthcare experiences. This is achieved by using a unified and cloud-based software platform to facilitate communication between all relevant parties, in addition to providing workflow optimization software and partnering with healthcare providers.
The company is trying to stand out by integrating and connecting all parts of the healthcare journey together to increase care quality and save lives – building a platform akin to OpenTable for healthcare.
