Clearpol Inc.
Clearpol is a San Francisco healthtech company that builds AI tools for post-acute and long-term care providers. Its platform reads a facility's clinical data and regulatory environment, then automates the paperwork nobody likes: drafting CMS Form 2567 Plans of Correction, flagging resident risk before it escalates, and answering questions about federal and state nursing-home regulations. Positioned as a compliance 'co-pilot' for skilled nursing facilities, Clearpol says it is trusted by 900+ long-term care facilities and has written thousands of Plans of Correction.

A former NASA JPL and Langley engineer, he traded interplanetary robotics simulations and severe-weather prediction for one of healthcare's least glamorous frontiers: the survey deficiency. Clearpol's AI now acts as a 'co-pilot' for skilled nursing facilities, drafting Plans of Correction, monitoring clinical data, and flagging regulatory risk before it escalates - trusted by 900+ facilities, with 3,000+ Plans of Correction written.
