Cara AI
Cara AI is a multimodal AI platform built to standardize in-home health assessments so Medicaid members age in place, avoid the ER, and access the benefits supporting their wellness. Cara guides care coordinators through state-mandated LTSS assessments and completes roughly 70 percent of the visit remotely through SMS and weblink workflows before the coordinator arrives, subject to plan workflow preferences . The platform captures home safety risk through computer vision, scans medication bottles with OCR, conducts voice and chat health risk assessments, screens for food insecurity and social needs, and returns coded findings to the plan in real time. Founded in 2025 by Dr. Renee Dua, a practicing nephrologist and repeat health tech founder, Cara is deployed with more than 200 assessments completed and is running pilots across Medicaid LTSS, Medicare Advantage, and post-acute discharge
ChartR Health
ChartR Health builds AI-powered tools that help healthcare teams turn complex clinical and operational data into clear, real-time decisions.

By integrating directly into existing clinical and operational systems, ChartR helps providers move beyond delayed reporting and manual chart review and respond to issues as they emerge. The platform is designed to support care teams working in high-volume, resource-constrained environments, where timely access to information is critical. ChartR supports health systems and clinics in improving care coordination, reducing inefficiencies, and delivering more consistent, data-driven care without adding complexity to day-to-day workflows.
CleanCut Health helps safety-net providers and Medicaid-serving organizations reach and retain members traditional outreach often misses, while converting those interactions into preventive health action.
Our platform enables providers, health plans, and public health organizations to work through trusted community partners such as faith organizations, neighborhood businesses, workforce groups, and community-based organizations to engage hard-to-reach populations around Medicaid retention, benefits navigation, preventive care, and chronic disease follow-through.
As Medicaid administrative requirements continue to evolve, safety-net organizations need scalable, community-centered ways to educate, engage, and support vulnerable members while reducing avoidable coverage loss and missed care opportunities.
CleanCut provides the operational infrastructure to launch targeted outreach workflows, verify completed member actions, coordinate navigation, and report measurable outcomes.
By turning trusted community relationships into accountable engagement infrastructure, we help organizations improve member retention, close care gaps, and reduce the burden on overstretched internal teams.
