Portfolio Proof, Not a Pitch Deck
Two real equity partners, already live in healthcare.
InformedCare360
Equity Build · In BuildThe Problem
Care teams across assisted living, home care, home health, and dementia support worked in fragmented systems — scheduling in one tool, care plans in another, documentation and billing somewhere else.
What We Built
A HIPAA-aligned Care Intelligence Platform — Informed ALF, Informed Home Care, Informed Home Health, Nurse Registry, and a Dementia Navigation Hub — following a person across every care setting they move through, not just one facility.
WePair Health
Equity Build · LaunchedThe Problem
Community health workers and doulas — frontline, community-based care — had no dedicated path to get certified, find matched job opportunities, and access the professional tools they need, all in one place.
What We Built
A career platform for CHWs and doulas: self-paced certification training, weekly job alerts matched to skills, and NoteScribe — an AI documentation assistant with its own mobile app for CHWs in the field.
Not every healthcare engagement is a product build — sometimes it’s opening doors in a regulated market.
Aidlab — sales-strategy consulting
DSHG ran go-to-market strategy for a research-validated medical-grade wearable’s US launch to researchers, physicians, and health professionals. No AI or engineering work; no usage numbers to cite.
iCloss — sales-strategy consulting
DSHG helped a Sunshine Act pharma-compliance platform open doors with pharmaceutical manufacturers and insurance payers. Not a product build; no numbers to cite.
Why Healthcare Needs a Different Partner
Not generic SaaS. Not a health-IT consultancy on a fixed scope.
We build for the regulatory reality of care delivery, and for the workforce actually doing the work — not just the administrator who signs the contract.
Regulated, not generic
Built for the compliance reality
HIPAA-aligned data handling and care documentation requirements aren’t an afterthought bolted onto generic SaaS — they shape the system from the first architecture decision.
End to end
Built for the whole care journey
InformedCare360’s model: follow a person across every care setting they move through — assisted living, home care, home health, dementia support — not just one app for one facility.
Workforce, not just software
Built for the people doing the work
WePair’s model: build for the community health workers and doulas delivering care, not only the administrator who buys the software.
Where the Real Pain Is
The workforce is growing. The documentation burden already isn’t sustainable.

Build the pilot
A scoped pilot shaped by your team’s weekly feedback, not a slide deck.
Launch

Structure the partnership
Equity, a fractional engineering retainer, or a scoped consulting engagement — whichever actually fits.
