Close the massive gap between what is possible and what usually happens
We are a team of clinical leaders and tech experts passionate to make things better for patients, families, clinicians and healthcare leaders, by connecting everyone around the patient, like the conductor with a score that guides talented musicians to create music instead of noise.
We are concerned that the fragmentation of healthcare is getting worse, as there are more and more co-morbidities, options, apps and devices. Patients, families, clinicians and health organizations are overwhelmed by the noise. We need to make the health "system" act as a system, starting for some complex and chronic health issues and also for multi-morbidity patients and integrated care systems.
We believe that every person should have the opportunity to achieve their optimal health with the guidance of the experts on their clinical team. We are dedicated to unlocking the full potential of innovation in health care - always BETTER, getting people to act on the information and learn what worked in order to continuously optimize.

How our team is different
Careteam was founded by physicians, health technology leaders and entrepreneurs, all of whom have also been caregivers on multiple occasions and even sometimes patients ourselves.
We have seen health care at its best, and we have seen the system fail. We know that technology can help us be more consistent, and unlock the shackles of human capacity which limit the scale of the innovations health care so urgently needs.
We all know how challenging it is to bring innovation into healthcare and yet, how necessary it is to make sure that it happens. We are passionate to bring the tools needed to eliminate the overwhelm of patients, the overwork of clinicians and the massive gap between what is possible and what usually happens.
Three core concepts:
1) Everyone critical to the patient’s success needs to be included: the patient and family, health professionals within and across organizations.
2) Experts need to be able to guide the patient with expertise and empathy so that the experience of health care can be more personalized, planned, predictable, reliable and flexible and the outcomes and experience can be the best possible.
3) Health Innovators can thrive within Learning Health Systems: test, and scale successful change using data and predictions.
Combining passion and experience
Our health care "systems" are getting ever more complex and fragmented. It takes deep knowhow to figure out the best path forward and support patients and those who care for them at every step. We offer our passion and expertise, based on decades of service.
