Avo Named to the New York Digital Health 100 List

NEW YORK, February 6, 2024 - Avo today announced that it has been named to the 2024 New York Digital Health 100 (DH100), a recognition that highlights the most exciting and innovative startups in New York. Digital Health New York (DHNY) publishes the annual list in conjunction with the New York Healthcare Innovation Report which takes an in-depth look at the investment trends, opportunities and challenges in the digital health sector.

"As a company born and raised in New York, it is truly special to be recognized by DHNY and the greater New York community for developing our clinician support platform," expressed Joongheum Park, M.D., Co-Founder and Head of Product and Engineering at Avo. "Avo's platform stands out because it is able to gather crucial clinical and system-specific information and convert them into practical tools within the clinician workflow. Utilizing cutting-edge technology and AI, Avo both drives efficiencies for clinicians and assists them in improving care delivery, making it unique in the clinical decision support landscape."

“2024 marks the fifth year of the New York Digital Health 100 and in that time, the digital health ecosystem in New York has significantly grown and evolved,” said Bunny Ellerin, co-founder and CEO, DHNY. “We are proud to recognize these exceptional organizations and commend them for their ongoing commitment to innovation, transformation and the role they play in driving healthcare forward.”

Avo is based in New York City, where co-founders Dr. Joongheum Park, Dr. Yair Saperstein, and Laurence Coman met at Columbia University, united by their shared interests in clinical informatics and using AI to improve clinician burnout. Avo was built by clinicians for clinicians, with the goal of turning pages of guidelines and protocols into useful clinical tools. Avo’s Point-of-Care App, available in the EHR or outside of it, surfaces system-specific guidelines in an actionable format and automatically populates patient information to assist with decision-making, documentation, ordering, HCC coding and more.

With Avo’s easy-to-use “Builder” platform, healthcare organizations can customize clinician-facing tools with drag and drop functionality (no programming experience required). After a quick one-time install, updates can be published immediately without needing IT support. In addition to leveraging their own content, organizations can use pre-built templates from medical societies such as the AHA, GOLD, KDIGO, AACE, and academic medical centers, to equip their clinicians with actionable, best-in-class guidance from the leading medical experts.

Avo works with various hospitals and health systems including Children's Minnesota, Mass General Brigham, Geisinger, SUNY Downstate, PM Pediatrics and many more. The Avo team is currently working towards rapid expansion across health systems, provider practices, and life sciences companies in the U.S., as well as investing in product features that significantly improve the clinical documentation, ordering, and decision-making experience.
