Hi! We’re Natalia Perina, Rachel O’Driscoll, and Natalia Khosla MD and we’re the founders of Simbie Health.
TL;DR
Simbie Health is a virtual discharge navigation platform for patients, providers, health systems, and payors to coordinate at transitions of care. We ensure that every patient, and their relevant data, is smoothly transitioned from the medical home to their community home.
The Problem: Transitions of care are messy today, fraught with a lack of data interoperability, disorganized referral processes, insurance barriers to follow-up, and patient confusion about next steps.
During medical school, Natalia Khosla experienced firsthand the barriers to smooth transitions of care, and how they contribute to the $26B annual Medicare spend on readmissions after hospital discharge.
Our Solution: Virtual-First Patient Navigation at Discharge
We ensure patients get timely reach-out by one of our nurse practitioners after their hospital discharge, receive any supplementary education and navigation to their next steps, and that their social needs gaps are filled by connection to local community resources. Our tech layer ensures a smooth transition of patients’ data from the hospital to their community providers so that hand-offs are high quality.
Our Story & Team
Our team has been in healthcare for over 20 years combined. After collectively being friends, working together, and scheming about how to reshape healthcare for over 10 years (including as roommates at Yale and colleagues at TrialSpark), we decided to make waves. We are on a mission to leverage technology to expand care access and equity—helping providers practice how they prefer and improving quality of care.
