The Day a Healthcare Startup Realized Spreadsheets Can’t Save Lives


A healthcare founder once told me:

“We don’t have a product problem. We have a process problem.”

Their platform helped hospitals manage patient data. But inside the company, chaos ruled:

Lab reports stored in messy Excel files

Doctors waiting hours for patient updates

Nurses juggling manual communication

One day, a delay in updating a spreadsheet caused a serious scare. That’s when the founders realized — manual work doesn’t just slow you down, it risks lives.

They shifted to AI automation:

Patient updates synced in real-time

AI bots flagged anomalies instantly

Reports generated automatically for doctors

The result? Fewer errors, faster response times, and happier patients.

Healthcare isn’t just about medicine anymore.
It’s about data — and data demands automation.
