Our take
In the healthcare system, there are inefficiencies associated with the referral process to specialists. Often coming in various forms, from email to fax, without any standardized structure, this leads to administrative burdens and significant delays in patient care.
Tennr has developed a machine learning and document scanning platform that automates the extraction of relevant information from referrals and facilitates faster appointment scheduling. With its focus solely on the healthcare industry, it addresses the complexities of medical terminology and ensures doctors, clinics and insurers stay informed throughout the process.
It's had a successful start, customers reporting significant improvements in their workflows, signalling strong market demand for the solution. This success is accompanied by strong funding, enabling the company to focus on accelerating its growth. It has also announced the launch of Tennr Network, which provides real-time updates to referring and receiving providers, as well as patients, on the status of any referral.
