AI Startup Altitude Aims to Enhance Nurse Practitioners' Skills
As primary care faces a staffing crisis, Altitude, an AI startup, seeks to supercharge the skills of nurse practitioners, a growing workforce taking more responsibility for care.
The company has raised $5.4 million to develop its technology, which aims to improve the skills of clinicians to handle a wider spectrum of patients.
- Altitude's technology focuses on guiding nurse practitioners' decisions and training.
- The new funding, led by Lerer Hippeau, will be used to develop the technology and expand beyond its first six customers.
The solution to the staffing crisis is to find ways to automate tasks, but Altitude is taking a different approach by using AI to enhance nurse practitioners' skills.
