Where clinical judgment meets elite technical execution.
We're a team of clinicians, engineers, and designers building AI tools that respect the complexity of care. Our mission is to reduce the burden of documentation so providers can focus on what matters most — their patients.
About Steno
We're building the future of post-acute documentation — where AI handles the admin, and clinicians focus on care.
Why It Matters
"This isn't just about documenting faster—it's about restoring trust in how care gets delivered. We started with one of the most painful friction points in home health, but what we're building reaches far beyond that. Our edge comes from living both sides: real clinical experience and world-class engineering."
