San Francisco -- October 1, 2026 -- MontoHealth is developing an AI-driven action layer designed to execute routine healthcare tasks—not just discuss them—across existing hospital and clinic software systems.

MontoHealth targets the gap between digitized records and automated work

Despite two decades of healthcare digitization, tasks such as rescheduling an appointment, routing a prescription refill, coordinating a referral or resolving an insurance query still require manual phone calls and handoffs across disconnected systems. Healthcare organizations typically operate EHRs, scheduling platforms, billing systems and patient portals as separate applications, each governed by distinct privacy and security controls. MontoHealth argues that digitizing a workflow has not equated to automating it, leaving staff to perform the connective work between systems.
