Balto is building a remote-first work marketplace that enables near real-time personalized patient care from anywhere in the U.S., helping solve the physician shortage, driving down hospital admissions and making it easy to get quality care from home. The marketplace will connect Rural hospitals struggling to hire for Physicians of all types, with a remote workforce of Physicians who can solve critical, non-in person, care work that takes place in hospitals. By 2034, our health care system will consist of 77 million patients over the age of 65, while simultaneously experiencing a shortage of 125,000 physicians. Balto aims to alleviate these issues, all while helping U.S hospitals to stay revenue efficient, through preventative care.
As a former soldier, software engineer, customer success manager and strategic account executive, Daniel Wolkowitz is passionate about building a company that solves real problems. Daniel’s direct experiences as a patient and caretaker sparked his idea for Balto. His personal journey through eight major surgeries, an artificial hip by the age of 31 and the loss of a loved one to Glioblastoma ignited his passion for transforming health care. Daniel continuously wonders if there were other paths for treatment, but now sees Balto as a means of creating a health care system that prioritizes proactive, preventative and informed care.
