Vital

Vital is a digital health company that uses artificial intelligence and large language models to improve the patient experience inside emergency departments and hospitals. Founded by Mint.com creator Aaron Patzer and emergency physician Dr. Justin Schrager, its consumer-grade software predicts ER wait times, translates clinical jargon into plain language, automates discharge and follow-up communication, and reduces clinician workload. Vital reads directly from hospital EHRs through FHIR/HL7 integrations and is used by 100+ hospitals and roughly 20-30 health systems, serving more than 5 million patients a year.
