AI Startup Altitude Aims to Enhance Nurse Practitioners' Skills
As the primary care sector faces a staffing crisis, startup Altitude is leveraging AI to empower nurse practitioners, a growing workforce taking on more care responsibilities.
Altitude's technology aims to improve the skills of these clinicians, enabling them to handle a broader range of patients. The company has secured $5.4 million in funding, led by Lerer Hippeau, to develop its technology and expand its customer base beyond the initial six practices.
The solution to the staffing crisis is to free up time by automating tasks such as triage, diagnosis, and prescribing.
- Altitude's technology focuses on enhancing nurse practitioners' skills rather than automating tasks.
- The company plans to use the new funding to develop its technology and expand its customer base.
