Altitude, an AI startup, is seeking to use artificial intelligence to improve the skills of nurse practitioners, a growing workforce taking more responsibility for primary care.
Primary care is facing a staffing crisis, with many providers looking to automate tasks such as triage, diagnosis, and prescribing to free up time.
Altitude is taking a different approach, using AI to supercharge nurse practitioners, enabling them to handle a wider spectrum of patients.
The solution to the staffing crisis is to enhance the skills of nurse practitioners, not just automate tasks.
Author's summary: Altitude raises $5.4 million to enhance nurse practitioners' skills with AI.
