Digital health needs to engage people. But navigating HIPAA with multiple vendors, setting up data pipelines, building complex campaigns, and figuring out how to go beyond just email doesn't have to blow up the CAC, consume half of your engineers and an army of consultants. I lived through all of those pain points, and that's what led me to start Fertu. Our HIPAA-compliant platform enables truly multichannel outreach (email, phone, SMS, direct mail) from one place at a manageable and transparent cost. Reporting, attribution, A/B tests - all there. If this is something that your org is struggling with - reach and we'll be happy to demo it for you.
