August Health

August Health develops a cloud software platform purpose-built for senior living communities. Its product suite spans digital move-ins with e-signature and real-time collaboration, an electronic health record (EHR), an electronic medication administration record (eMAR), billing and payments, a mobile-first daily care delivery and documentation tool called Care Track, and an analytics product called Insights that provides real-time community visibility and predictive risk detection. The company positions the platform around helping operators move from reactive to proactive care, with an embedded business intelligence dashboard covering resident care, operations and performance oversight across multiple communities.

The EHR includes a customizable, state-configurable care assessment library, digitized document management and a compliance dashboard, incident reporting with automatic follow-up actions, progress notes and alert charting, instant-print face sheets and emergency packets, a family portal tied to billing, and "Intelligent Service Plans" generated with the company's August Intelligence capability. The EHR and eMAR are integrated to combine care and medication data. The company describes its platform as AI-enabled, with automated compliance workflows and predictive signals intended to flag emerging risk and acuity changes, and to keep assessments, service plans and billing aligned for care revenue capture. A further product was listed as "coming soon" on the company's about page.

Founding story

August Health was co-founded by Justin Schram, M.D., and Erez Cohen. According to the company, Schram served as Medical Director of Landmark Health, where he observed how legacy technology systems in senior living communities hindered quality care and contributed to care staff burnout, while Cohen was an engineering leader at Apple with a background in easy-to-use software design and operationalizing data for day-to-day decision-making. The two began discussing ways to serve an industry they viewed as underserved by technology and built the platform together. The company describes itself as the only senior living platform created by a senior living physician and an Apple engineering leader.

Business model

August Health sells its platform to senior living operators, including enterprise, multi-community operators, and supports implementation across community portfolios. Its integrated billing and payments module handles invoicing and family-facing payment experiences for customer communities.
