Tanay Tandon, Commure

Tanay Tandon is CEO of Commure, which is essentially a startup conglomerate which includes the original Commure, Tanay’s company Athelas, ambient scribe Augmedix, the Strongline staff safety product, Memora Health’s workflows and more. HCA, the big for-profit chain, is one of the biggest customers and an investor in Commure. I grabbed Tanay at HIMSS earlier this month to understand what Commure was building and what he thinks co-pilots/auto-pilots can eventually do in the hospital. Tanay’s aiming for a time when the combo of all the products mean doctors don’t have to touch their keyboard. But what does this have to do with the EMR? And what does their major backer, General Catalyst, intend to do with Commure and its other companies? Hopefully after this things are becoming a little clearer!–Matthew Holt
