KORU for Healthcare Organizations

Extend your care team beyond the clinic.

KORU keeps patients connected between encounters—remembering what matters, organizing health information over time, and helping care teams recognize when something changes.

Give every patient a health companion. Give your care team a clearer view of what happens between visits.

Built with rural hospitals, FQHCs, and community health organizations in mind.

For your patients

A health companion that stays present between appointments.

For your care team

A clearer view of what happens when the patient isn't in the room.

The gap between encounters

Most healthcare happens when the patient isn't in the building.

Between one visit and the next there can be weeks or months—where questions come up, routines slip, symptoms change, and progress quietly happens. Today, most of that time is invisible to the care team. KORU stays present in that window and organizes what it learns, so the next encounter starts with context instead of a blank page.

How KORU fits

A continuous layer between patient and care team.

KORU sits in the middle of the between-visit window: gathering everyday signals from patients, organizing them over time, and passing a clearer picture back to the people who provide care.

Patient

Everyday touchpoints

  • Conversations by text or web
  • Check-ins and reminders
  • Health documents and history

KORU

The between-visit layer

  • Remembers what matters to each patient
  • Organizes information over time
  • Recognizes meaningful change
  • Prepares a clear, longitudinal view

Care team

Attention where it's needed

  • A clearer between-visit picture
  • Meaningful changes surfaced for review
  • Focus for follow-up and outreach

Human-in-the-loop by design. KORU organizes information and surfaces what may deserve attention. Clinical decisions stay with your clinicians.

What KORU does between encounters

Continuous engagement, organized for your team.

Conversations & check-ins

Simple conversations by text or web, in plain language. Patients respond on their own schedule—no app to install and no new username or password to remember.

Reminders that fit real life

Timezone-aware reminders for routines, appointments, and follow-through—daily, weekly, monthly, or one-time—so the right nudge arrives at the right moment.

Health documents & history

Patients can add labs, after-visit summaries, images, and notes. KORU keeps the originals organized and available for future conversations.

A longitudinal view

Everything is organized over time, so context from months ago isn't lost by the next encounter. The story stays connected.

Recognizing meaningful change

KORU is being designed to recognize shifts and patterns over time, helping care teams identify information that may deserve a closer look.

Attention where it's needed

Instead of more noise, KORU helps your team focus follow-up on the patients and moments that may need it most.

Designed for rural & community care

Meets patients where they are.

Rural and community health teams do a great deal with lean staff and patients spread across wide areas. KORU is built for that reality—reaching patients on the phone they already carry, without adding weight to your team's day.

  • Works on any phone over SMS — important where smartphones and broadband can't be assumed.
  • A simple web experience for patients who prefer it, with the same organized history.
  • A familiar, consistent companion patients get to know over time, in a voice that fits them.
  • Low lift for lean teams — KORU handles the between-visit follow-through and hands your team a clear summary.

Built to fit your environment

Standards-minded architecture. Privacy taken seriously.

API-first & interoperable

KORU is built as an API-first service with a data model informed by healthcare interoperability standards, including FHIR—so it's designed to connect with the systems your organization already relies on.

  • API-first service layer
  • FHIR-informed data model
  • SMS and web today, extensible to other channels
  • Designed to add connections as pilots require

We're not claiming pre-built EHR integrations today. We'd rather show your team the architecture and build the connections that matter for your workflows.

Privacy & security by design

KORU is being built with healthcare privacy and security requirements in mind, using safeguards designed for protected healthcare environments.

  • Patients identified by a verified phone number
  • Messaging based on explicit patient consent
  • Activity recorded in an auditable event history
  • Data-minimal by design—only what's needed to help

For demonstrations and pilots, we can walk your compliance and security teams through KORU's architecture, safeguards, and readiness roadmap before protected patient data is used.

Start with a demonstration.

We're partnering with a small number of rural and community health organizations for early demonstrations and pilots. Tell us about your patients and workflows, and we'll walk your team through how KORU works.

A walkthrough is a conversation, not a commitment—bring your clinical, IT, and compliance questions.

KORU Health

KORU is a between-visit patient engagement and intelligence layer that supports care teams. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not replace professional clinical judgment.
