AI Startup Altitude Aims to Enhance Nurse Practitioners' Skills
As primary care faces a staffing crisis, startup Altitude seeks to use AI to guide nurse practitioners' decisions and training.
Altitude has raised $5.4 million to develop its technology, which aims to improve the skills of nurse practitioners, allowing them to handle a wider spectrum of patients.
The company plans to use the funding to expand beyond its initial six customers and further develop its technology.
The solution to the staffing crisis is to free up time by finding ways to automate triage, diagnosis, prescribing, clinical notes, and more.
Altitude's approach focuses on enhancing the skills of nurse practitioners, a growing workforce taking more responsibility for care.
