PAX Health is a digital health solution with the interest of at-home health practitioners at the heart of our work. In the United States, our healthcare system fails to meet the needs of the very people who work within it. From physicians to nurses to therapists, healthcare professionals are grossly underpaid and overworked, making it difficult for them to provide adequate care for their patients. The COVID-19 pandemic has only aggravated the strain on our fragile system.
The patients who most depend on at-home care – the elderly and the chronically ill– are also among the most vulnerable of us, and healthcare professional burnout is a serious issue that affects professionals and patients alike. Founded by two UChicago undergraduates with backgrounds in healthcare and computer science, our team is committed to living in a future where technology can alleviate the strain on at-home health practitioners and allow them to focus on what they do best: changing the lives of their patients.
We could not have built this product without the support we received and the feedback we heard from active health practitioners. Please let us know if there’s a feature we’re missing that would make your life easier!
