About
Built by a Doctor Who Lived the Problem
Praano was born from firsthand experience with the broken workflows, lost claims, and communication gaps that plague hospitals every day - everywhere.

The Origin Story
As a practicing physio, Dr. Bhagyashree witnessed the same scene repeat across every hospital she worked in: nurses buried in paperwork instead of caring for patients, insurance claims rejected over coding errors, and critical patient information lost between shift changes.
The problem wasn't a lack of technology - it was that existing hospital software was designed by engineers who had never worked a hospital shift. The result was clunky systems that staff worked around rather than with, and workflows that created more problems than they solved.
Praano is the system she wished existed. Built from the clinical floor up, it understands the rhythm of a hospital - the urgency of admissions, the precision required in discharge summaries, the frustration of chasing insurance approvals. Every feature exists because a real hospital workflow demanded it.
The name “Praano” comes from the Sanskrit word for life force - the vital energy that keeps everything running. That's what Praano aims to be for hospitals: the invisible infrastructure that keeps operations flowing so clinicians can focus on what matters.
What We Believe
Clinical-First Design
Every screen is built by a physio who understands the chaos of a hospital floor. No feature ships without clinical validation.
Outcome Over Output
We measure success by claim approval rates, discharge speed, and patient outcomes - not feature count or lines of code.
AI That Assists, Not Replaces
Our AI drafts, suggests, and automates - but the clinician always decides. Technology should amplify human judgment, not bypass it.
Our Mission
To give every hospital - from a 20-bed nursing home to a 500-bed multispecialty center - access to the same operational intelligence that the best healthcare systems in the world run on. Not through expensive consulting or generic software, but through an AI-native platform that understands how hospitals actually work, implemented by people who care deeply about getting it right.
