Who we are:
Pluto Health strives to coordinate care and increase access to needed resources for people by leveraging quick access to data and insights in minutes and then bringing together care coordination activities. Our team brings together siloed medical data, evaluates it, and works to address gaps in care for patients. What is unique about Pluto is that it applies automated processes on behalf of patients, so recall is minimized—no need to remember names of doctors, health centers, or recall portal log-ins to get needed information; our team evaluates health opportunities and works to address health gaps. We are among the few companies linking siloed data across health sectors and bridging care. We are committed to patient privacy, promising never to monetize and share patient data without their consent and transparency with who data is shared. We aim to give patients complete control of their data.
Our why – We believe that every person has a chance to thrive.
