Delta: HealthTech Innovators

There is an increasing complexity of clinical decision-making in Healthcare. In response to this challenge, AvoMD a healthtech startup has developed a point-of-care application specifically designed to assist physicians in systematizing clinical decision-making. The app aligns with the latest guidelines and protocols from the hospitals or clinics where physicians practice, offering a streamlined and individualized approach to patient care. AvoMD not only facilitates the decision-making process by providing immediate access to relevant guidelines and risk calculators but also enables real-time documentation of the clinical decisions as they are made. Today's guest is Dr Saperstein, an accomplished physician entrepreneur with an interesting background, that combines both, medicine and tech who took the lead to improve healthcare for the benefit of many people.
