Kithli

Clinical Logistics-as-a-Service™

Clinical Logistics-as-a-Service™

Healthcare assumes someone will be there.
What happens when no one is?
Kithli connects patients with trusted, vetted companions for the support they need before and after an outpatient procedure.
No procedure should be cancelled because a patient had no one.

For Patients
For Surgery Centers
The healthcare system requires another person.
Not every patient has one nearby.
Families live across the country. Young adults move for school and work. People live alone. Friends have jobs and families of their own. Adult children increasingly manage a parent's care from somewhere else.

1
Someone has to be there

Many outpatient procedures require a responsible adult for discharge.
2
A ride isn't enough

Patients may need someone to receive discharge instructions, accompany them home, and help them get safely settled.
3
Staff aren't a support network

When a patient's plan falls through, coordinators are left scrambling to solve a personal logistics problem.
4
The procedure is at risk

A patient can be medically ready and willing to proceed — and still lose the appointment because no one can be there.
What is Clinical Logistics-as-a-Service™?
Kithli coordinates the non-clinical support that helps patients get to, through and safely home from outpatient procedures.
Care. Connected.
How Kithli Works

1
Plan Ahead
Kithli helps put the patient's support plan in place before procedure day.
2
Choose Your Kith
Patients choose from vetted Kiths so they can feel comfortable with the person they're trusting when they are most vulnerable.
3
Door Through Door
The Kith provides the required support through discharge and helps the patients get safely settled at home.
The moment this becomes real –
You’re coming out of anesthesia.

The procedure is done —
but you can’t leave alone.
You can’t drive.
Someone has to be there.
Who's got you?
Kithli makes sure you have the answer.
Different lives. Same missing person.
Needing someone after a procedure isn't an age problem. It's a life problem.
What we kept hearing –
300+ conversations with patients and providers.
400+ student applicants via Handshake.
"Luckily a new friend volunteered at the last second. I could've avoided the stress with Kithli. Kithli's a game-changer so no one else has to go through what I did."
~Gen Z
"My wife and I have missed days of work and my mother-in-law feels like she's being "needy" and a burden. My wife and I literally said 'I wish there was a service for this'."
~Millennial.
"My sister had to fly in from LA because I had no one else available who could take responsibllity for me at discharge after my heart attack."
~ Gen X
"As single seniors, my friends and I worry about trusting who will be there for us when we need assistance, including with medical appointments."
~Baby Boomer
Who Kithli Is For
One missing connection. Three people who need it solved.
Surgery Centers
Give patients a credible option when responsible-adult logistics put an otherwise appropriate procedure at risk.
• Reduce last-minute scrambling.
• Protect scheduled capacity.
• Keep staff focused on patient care.
