Opkit (YC S21) helps surgery centers reduce their medical device costs. We connect to your electronic health record system and provide a dashboard showing device spend and usage with cost-savings recommendations. Our tool highlights the most expensive physicians and procedures at your facility and suggests affordable alternative implants to bring costs down.
Opkit was founded by Sherwood Callaway and Justin Ko, two software engineers with a passion for improving healthcare and deep experience building transformative, secure software products in regulated industries. Sherwood grew up learning about medicine and the business of healthcare from his dad, an orthopedic surgeon and ASC medical director in Raleigh, NC. With Opkit, he is continuing his father’s life work of providing quality, affordable care to the residents of North Carolina.
