We're building towards a world where hospital operations are safe, autonomous, fair, and cost-effective. Hospitals still run their most important operations—staffing, labor planning, and capacity—on paper, spreadsheets, and guesswork. The result: thousands of wasted hours, millions in unnecessary labor spend, and frontline teams stretched thin. Vitalize replaces this with intelligent, automated staffing operations to align labor supply with patient demand. Our platform gives clinical leaders real-time decision support to reduce manual work, lower labor costs, and unlock patient capacity across the enterprise. We are trusted by top health systems across the country, and have raised from top healthcare and technology investors.

TL;DR At Vitalize, we’re building toward a future where hospital operations are safe, autonomous, fair, and cost-effective.
Today, hospitals still run their most critical workflows (staffing, labor planning, capacity management) on spreadsheets, paper, and gut instinct. This creates massive waste, burnout, and poor patient outcomes.
Vitalize replaces this with an intelligent operating system for the hospital workforce. We bring real-time decision support to clinical leaders, eliminate manual work, reduce unnecessary labor spend, and unlock patient capacity across health systems.
We are a team of Stanford, Cambridge, and Columbia dropouts, former math champs, and repeat founders. We’re live across 20+ hospitals, approaching eight figures in revenue, and backed by top investors. We’ve 3x’ed revenue in the last 3 months, and are scaling fast. This is a chance to build foundational infrastructure for healthcare at a moment of real momentum.
