HealthLeap
HealthLeap helps prevent and treat impactful but overlooked conditions with advanced, high-precision AI. Starting with malnutrition, one of healthcare’s most underdiagnosed conditions, our AI platform screens every hospital patient daily. We've validated our ability to deliver better patient outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and millions of dollars in revenue for health systems. We’ve partnered with top hospitals like Cedars-Sinai, and are backed by top-tier VCs like Sequoia and First Round. As a seed startup, we’re working with some of the largest and most state-of-the-art health systems in the country. We’re also co-publishing a research paper (currently undergoing peer review) with clinical leaders from Johns Hopkins, Stanford Health, and Cedars-Sinai in a high-impact journal.
We believe we can deliver the largest, measurable customer benefits hospitals have seen from technology deployments, and seek to be their most loved partner.
