Vital Software Co-Founder and CEO Aaron Patzer has been recognized in Slice of Healthcare's Top Leaders in Digital Health 2024. This list honors some of the most accomplished and influential figures in the digital health industry including health system executives, serial entrepreneurs, first-time founders, and experienced leaders.

Best known as the creator of Mint.com, Patzer is a seasoned entrepreneur and the driving force behind Vital’s suite of patient experience products and the company’s mission to build beautiful, intelligent technology for hospitals — improving patient experience, outcomes, and long-term health. Along with Co-Founder and Emergency Medicine Physician Dr. Justin Schrager, Patzer is pioneering the use of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and proprietary large language models (LLMs) to simplify emergency department visits and inpatient care, providing patients with more control and predictability throughout their healthcare journey.

"For patients and their loved ones, the healthcare system can often be difficult to navigate, stressful, and frustrating," Patzer said. “The Vital team makes care experiences easier for millions of patients each year. I am honored to be included in this year’s list and look forward to our continued work with partner hospitals."

Slice of Healthcare, an influential publisher of over 15 podcast programs that feature a veritable "who's who" of the healthcare industry, received over 400 nominations to acknowledge leaders who are redefining the digital health space.

Under Patzer's leadership, Vital’s solutions use advanced AI to guide patients and their families through an emergency department or inpatient visit. By making complex health record data easy to understand, patients and families can view personalized wait times, request service and comfort items, view their lab results, book follow-up care, and much more, directly from their phone.

Hospitals across the country have seen significant increases in patient satisfaction, revenue growth and patient loyalty, as well as better clinical outcomes, and reduced stress for care teams. Vital is HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based, and integrates with any electronic health record system.
