General Catalyst uses Summa Health as test bed for AI-driven patient support tools
General Catalyst bought Ohio safety‑net hospital Summa Health in October and is using it to trial new health‑technology tools. Executives from the holding company, Health Assurance Transformation Company, described the ongoing "transformation" plan eight months after the acquisition.
Patients in northeast Ohio are now receiving automated phone calls powered by artificial intelligence. The calls help them prepare for upcoming surgeries and guide them through care steps after they leave the hospital.
The firm says Summa Health will serve as a proving ground, and successful tools will be rolled out to more than two dozen partner health systems in the HATCo network.
