Who we are

Built to make the work around patient care easier.

Switchboard, MD is a physician-built healthcare technology company helping organizations simplify the administrative work that surrounds patient care.

Our AI-powered platform brings patient communications and workflows together so teams can spend less time navigating fragmented systems and more time moving patients forward.

What we believe

Healthcare technology should reduce complexity, not add to it.

  • Make the work visible.

    Teams should know what needs attention without hunting for it.

  • Make the next step easier.

    Technology should help people complete work, not simply route it somewhere else.

  • Make performance measurable.

    Organizations should be able to see what is working, what is stuck, and where patients are being lost.
