Industry Mainstay

Alpha Nodus is a verified, revenue-generating healthcare technology company (est. 2015) with ~30 employees and estimated $3.6M annual revenue. The 'Gravity AI' platform offers high utility in automating clinical workflows (prior authorization, scheduling) with legitimate customer case studies (e.g., Atlantic Medical Imaging). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing verifiable falsehoods (claimed reach 'everyone', claimed traction 'most people have used my product'), which triggered a significant Quality Factor penalty (0.5) on the Traction metric despite the company's actual success.

Description
Alpha Nodus was founded in 2015 after the founders' unfortunate encounter with the healthcare system. We have all experienced waiting for days in pain, or worst, in suspense for a diagnosis for our medical appointments. It was eye-opening to learn that valuable clinical capacity, so desperately needed, goes to waste every day due to inefficiencies in dealing with patient journeys. Alpha Nodus was born out of necessity to eliminate every delay and bottleneck between the patient and the healthcare provider to deliver our vision of just-in-time care. Gravity AI and Gravity suite of services are the first steps towards our mission to automate and accelerate every patient journey from booking appointments to the exam room.\n
