After watching his wife—a Nurse Practitioner—struggle to keep up with patient notes, Andrew Hines had an idea. What if he could apply his engineering training to architect a better EMR (electronic medical record) to power our healthcare system? In 2015, he started Canvas Medical to shift the paradigm of what an EMR can and should be. Today, Canvas is the only complete software platform for value-based care. Designed to empower clinicians, administrators and even software developers building the next generation of healthcare platforms, Canvas is a simple solution to a complex problem. Andrew shares why he tries to maintain a student's mindset, how Canvas is equipping developers with game-changing APIs, and how he launched his first startup (a surfboard company) as a teenager.
