Problem
Health systems often lack scalable supportive care for patients with serious illness, resulting in fragmented communication, inconsistent patient experiences, and higher rates of unnecessary interventions and hospital utilization. Clinicians face limited bandwidth to maintain ongoing, value‑aligned conversations, leading to increased physician burden and rising costs.
Solution
Steadywell delivers an AI‑powered operating system that automates proactive, voice‑based outreach to identified high‑need patients using claims‑derived risk models. The platform conducts phone conversations to capture patients’ values, goals, and care preferences, then records this information directly into the electronic health record without requiring additional clinician effort. Integrated analytics surface actionable insights on patient status and transition readiness, enabling care teams to intervene timely and coordinate support across the care continuum. By embedding advance‑care planning and status updates into existing workflows, the system reduces overtreatment, lowers hospital and emergency department utilization, and improves patient‑reported quality of life while decreasing clinician workload.
Target Audience
The primary customers are health systems, accountable care organizations, and integrated delivery networks seeking to enhance palliative and supportive care for seriously ill patients while maintaining clinician efficiency.
