Olive knows healthcare deserves better.

Healthcare doesn’t have the Internet.

I began looking at the data and was shocked to realize that nothing was connected. Huge enterprise systems completely unable to communicate with each other or share crucial patient information. It was — and still is — a growing, multi-billion dollar problem.

Instead, healthcare uses humans as routers, forcing workers to toggle between disparate systems — they copy, they paste, they manipulate data — they become robots. And it’s one of the leading reasons that one out of every three dollars spent in the industry today is spent on administrative costs.

With our sights on solving these problems, my team and I iterated over almost a decade looking for the best way to save healthcare. We knew we wanted to change how hospitals fundamentally operated and we saw a dire need to create efficiency at an administrative level.
