Healthtech
Socket Solutions helps healthtech startups put AI, systems integration and workflow automation to work inside the company. Founder Caleb Dixon has 25+ years in healthcare innovation and technology and is a former senior leader at large health systems. Based in Nashville, we start with one workflow, keep a named person reviewing important AI steps, and point you to Socket Health when you need health-system introductions.
Why it is different
A healthtech startup sells to buyers who ask hard questions. Health systems want to know how a product connects to their EHR, who reviews what the software produces, and what happens when something goes wrong. The same questions apply to the AI and automation you run inside your own company.
That changes how the work should be done. Integration has to fit the standards buyers already use, such as FHIR APIs. AI output that touches a customer, a record or a decision needs a person who signs off. And the plan has to hold up in front of a health system's technology team, not just in a demo.
Where we help
Four kinds of work, usually combined. Every engagement starts with one workflow and a baseline.
We map how work moves across sales, implementation and support, remove the delays, and automate the routine steps around your people.
Account and contact research that moves from your system through enrichment into ready-to-work sheets and back, the same pattern we built for an executive recruiting firm.
Connect the tools you run, and plan for the systems your buyers run. We help you read where EHR developers stand on FHIR APIs and what that means for your integration plan.
For founders who want a straight answer before they spend: a technology and AI roadmap, vendor and tool selection with honest tradeoffs, and ongoing advice as you grow.
Public data
Socket Health publishes free data pages that open with the answer, the date and the source. Two are most useful when you plan healthtech AI and integration work.
ONC Lantern's daily check of published FHIR endpoints, by EHR developer: how many answer and which FHIR version they run.
Read itFDA's list of AI-enabled devices authorized for marketing in the US, by specialty and year of decision.
Read itFree healthcare data pages for health system leaders and the healthtech companies that sell to them.

Our healthcare division
Socket Solutions builds, integrates and automates inside your company. Socket Health is for the other half of the job: reaching the health system leaders who buy.
In its own words, Socket Health is "Not a consulting firm. A collective of healthcare veterans." Its site describes expert access to health system leaders, market intelligence, go-to-market strategy and CXO events.
Socket Health: health-system access and advisorsHuman in the loop
A named person on your team. Every AI step we build has a human checkpoint, and nothing important goes out unreviewed. We measure how the work runs before we change it, and we put the watch-outs in writing: what could go wrong, and how you will know if it does.
Policy
Tennessee has passed a series of laws that deal with artificial intelligence, and most target specific uses rather than setting general rules for how businesses use AI. Our Tennessee AI law watch tracks each AI bill from the General Assembly's own records. It is a starting point for a conversation with your lawyer, not legal advice.
