E391 Matthew Sappern, CEO at PeriGen

Today's guest is Matthew Sappern, CEO at PeriGen. Founded in 1995, PeriGen offers innovative perinatal software solutions that incorporate advanced statistical analysis features to enhance clinical efficiency and standardization of care during childbirth. Led by skilled OB practitioners and IT visionaries, PeriGen has created the PeriWatch® platform to provide consistent analysis and efficient display of complex data in real-time to promote better human recognition and communication about impending problems during labor.

In 2021, Matthew led PeriGen through a competitive sales process, culminating in a high value exit for investors. This outcome was the capstone of his efforts to transform an underperforming obstetrical documentation company into the global leader in applying FDA-cleared AI to obstetrical care. These efforts led to significant reductions in babies transferred to the NICU, three consecutive years of double-digit growth in sales, revenue and earnings and a number of national awards for product innovation.
