For over twenty-five years I’ve watched companies sell technology to physicians. Most of it made the day longer, not shorter. What Matic does is different and I don’t say that lightly.
I strongly believe that the future of primary care will be built with physicians, not around them. I’m not asking anyone to take my word for it, because our physicians are already saying it better than I can.
Dr. Keith Eppich gave me the numbers. The day before he started, he had 17 unlocked charts. By lunch the next day he’d seen 13 patients and his charts were locked, and within a few days he was seeing four more patients a day. And his wife noticed how much more he was present the very first weekend after starting on Matic Dr. Karla Dick told me she’s getting more of her notes done during the day and taking less work home. Dr. Doug Fullington is sleeping 90 minutes more at night because he isn’t waking early to prepare charts. Dr. Madhavi Ampajwala said the thing that stays with me most: she’s making eye contact instead of looking at a screen, and her patients walk out feeling like she knows them, not just their chart.Time back, and better care. Especially primary care when it begins to reach its full potential. That’s what I care about.
And that’s what drew me to Matic. It’s not another bolt-on technology physicians can buy. Instead, it’s an intelligence system built with them, inside and outside exam rooms, inside all the real work that primary care physicians do to care for their patients’ health journey. Matic chose physicians first, and it shows.
The people building it matter too. Calvin Carter has spent his career making technology people want to use, for names like Chick-fil-A and Southwest Airlines and hundreds more at his last company he founded, Bottle Rocket. He is a true legend in his field. Dr. Alex Sheppert pairs PhD AI depth with real clinical experience as an internist. They listen before they build, and they respect the people closest to the work.
At Catalyst, we’ve spent years building a physician-led primary care platform where patients, employers, payors, and physicians come together. Matic is the intelligence that helps us deliver on it.
Primary care is how communities stay healthy and thrive. Its future belongs to those willing to build it with physicians, not around them.
