Care coordination for rural clinics

Notes on the person,
not just the chart.

In rural care, providers come and go, and a patient's story walks out the door with them. Humanota keeps it in the room: who someone is as a person, what every discipline is working on, and what the family knows is coming.

Why we built this

Care exists out here.
It just doesn't connect.

Two of the people we built Humanota for. One is seven. One is eighty. Their problem is the same.

A young boy builds a small motorized car from a circuit kit at a clinic table while his therapist watches beside him.
Mouse, 7

His name is the first thing every new provider gets wrong.

Mouse's legal name sits at the top of every form, and hearing it said out loud undoes him before a session even starts. He sees a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, a physical therapist and a counselor. Four providers, four records, four people who have never spoken to each other.

When his family moved, only one of them knew. His therapy stalled for two months, and nobody could say why.

With Humanota, the first thing every provider reads is "Call me Mouse."

An older man in a cap and overalls holds a mug of coffee at his farmhouse kitchen table, looking out the window toward an old pickup.
Hank, 80

He'll always tell you he's fine.

Hank manages diabetes and early memory changes in a county with one primary care provider for every 2,500 people. His wife died last year. He stopped driving in August. His doctor is in one town, his therapist in another, and his psychiatric care happens by video.

Nobody sees the whole picture, so his daughter calls three offices trying to put it together herself.

With Humanota, every provider knows that evenings are hardest now, and to ask what he worked on this week.

The rural reality

Distance is only half the problem.

Eleven frontier counties in the Nebraska Panhandle, about 83,000 people, share a handful of specialists. Families drive hours for one appointment, then explain their child or their parent all over again.

An empty two-lane highway stretches across rolling Nebraska prairie at sunrise toward a distant town and grain elevator.
  • 55%of our clinic's patients drive more than 50 miles, one way, for a single appointment.
  • 1 : 4,504mental health providers to residents in Morrill County. Three Panhandle counties have none.
  • 3.6%of Panhandle residents surveyed could see a mental health provider the same day they called.
  • 24 daysmedian wait from referral to first evaluation. Then every new provider starts from zero.

The revolving door

The provider changes.
The story shouldn't.

In a city, a family can see the same pediatrician for eighteen years. Rural clinics run on visiting specialists, telehealth and clinicians who rotate in and out. Every new face starts from zero, and the patient pays for it.

Sessions 1–3

Relearning the patient

A new therapist spends the first three sessions learning who a child is. Across five disciplines, that happens five separate times.

Every visit

The family as courier

Parents and adult children become the historian and the go-between, repeating the same story to every new adult in the room.

Between visits

Context that never travels

The counselor learns a grandparent died. The speech therapist, the PT and the pediatrician never hear about it, and push goals that can't land this week.

Humanota is the memory a rural care team never has time to build.

The product

Three things no medical record holds.

Humanota sits above the chart, not in place of it. Your EHR keeps the claim. Humanota keeps the person, the team and the plan.

The human profile

Written with families, never about them. Six short cards a provider reads in the 30 seconds before a session.

  • What to call me. The name that works, not just the one on the chart.
  • What lights me up, and what shuts me down.
  • How I communicate, and what helps me settle.
  • What my family wants you to know.

Team summaries

AI reads the notes each provider already writes and turns them into one plain-language page per discipline. A pediatrician reads four summaries in two minutes instead of four charts in forty.

  • Every statement links to the note it came from, with a date and an author.
  • Nothing reaches the team until a clinician approves it.
  • The behavioral health note finally reaches everyone it should. Grief stops looking like a medication problem.

Family updates

Families tell the team what changed and what's coming: a move, a new sibling, a hard holiday ahead. It's often the single most useful thing a provider reads.

  • Quiet events let the team prepare without telling the patient yet.
  • Families choose exactly who sees each update.
  • Works on any phone, even on a slow rural connection.

How it works

Everyone walks in ready.

  1. Families write the profile

    At intake or from home, in the patient's own voice. Preferences and strengths, never diagnoses.

  2. Notes become one page

    Providers keep charting where they always have. Humanota summarizes each discipline, cites every source and waits for approval.

  3. The team starts the day together

    Each morning the Today board shows who's coming, what changed and who to look closer at, whether the provider is down the hall or on a screen.

Built with care

Honest about AI. Careful with families.

Every statement has a source

Each line in a summary links to the provider note it came from, with a date and an author.

A clinician approves first

AI drafts. Nothing reaches the care team until a clinician has reviewed and approved it.

Families decide who sees what

Visibility is set entry by entry. Families can remove or export their profile at any time.

Above the record, built for HIPAA

No billing, claims or encounter notes. Role-based access, audit logs, encryption and multi-factor sign-in from the start.

Who it's for

One page the whole team shares.

Rural clinics and hubs

Turn visiting specialists, part-time providers and telehealth into one team. Priced so a town of under a thousand people can run it.

Bring it to your clinic

Providers

Walk into every session already knowing what matters. Two minutes of reading instead of three sessions of catching up.

Families

Stop repeating yourself. Write it once, in your own words, and decide who sees it.

Our story

Built by a mom who became the therapist.

"I was the care coordinator, the historian, and the transportation department, and I was also just her mom, trying to get through a Tuesday."

Jenilee drove 80 minutes each way, twice a week, to get her daughter speech therapy. When it was cut, she went back to school and became a speech-language pathologist herself. Today she runs Sand Canyon Health Center, in a renovated hardware store in Hemingford, Nebraska. Humanota is the software her team needed and couldn't buy.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Humanota?

Humanota is care coordination software for rural clinics. It gives every provider on a patient's care team the same short, glanceable picture of who the patient is as a person, what every discipline is working on, and what the family knows is coming.

Who is Humanota for?

Rural clinics and multidisciplinary hubs that rely on visiting specialists, telehealth and part-time providers. It is built first for two groups: children seeing several therapists, such as speech, occupational, physical and behavioral health, and older adults managing several chronic conditions across different providers.

Does Humanota replace our electronic health record?

No. Humanota sits above the medical record. Your EHR keeps the chart, billing and claims. Humanota keeps the person, the team and the plan, and does not handle billing, claims or encounter documentation.

How does Humanota use AI?

AI reads the notes providers already write and drafts a one-page summary for each discipline. Every statement links back to the note it came from, with a date and an author, and nothing reaches the care team until a clinician reviews and approves it.

Why does rural care need Humanota?

Rural clinics run on visiting specialists, telehealth and clinicians who rotate in and out, so every new provider starts from zero and families repeat the same story at every visit. In the Nebraska Panhandle, more than half of Sand Canyon Health Center's patients drive over 50 miles one way for a single appointment.

Who controls what families share?

Families do. They set who can see each entry, can mark upcoming events as quiet so the care team can prepare without telling the patient yet, and can remove or export their profile at any time.

Is Humanota available now?

Humanota is being piloted at Sand Canyon Health Center in Hemingford, Nebraska, and will open to a small number of rural clinics and care hubs in 2027. Email jenilee@sandcanyontherapy.com to request a demo or join the waitlist.
