Who we are
and why we built ImageAssist.
Built by clinicians at Vanderbilt Health.
ImageAssist helps healthcare and wellness teams capture, organize, and use clinical photos to improve care, streamline workflows, and drive patient engagement.
We bring structure to one of the most fragmented workflows in healthcare—clinical photography—by combining mobile capture, intelligent standardization, and seamless integration into systems like Epic, Cerner, and Mindbody.

Our Values
What drives us every day
Trust
We build trust with healthcare teams by prioritizing security, reliability, and accountability.
Clinical photography involves sensitive patient data — there is no room for shortcuts.
We design every part of ImageAssist to be HIPAA-compliant, secure, and dependable in real clinical environments.
Trust is not a feature. It's the foundation.
Customer Obsession
We are built around real clinical workflows — not assumptions.
We work directly with surgeons, nurses, and staff to understand how photography actually happens in practice.
When something slows a team down or creates friction, we fix it.
Our success is measured by how well we improve day-to-day clinical work.
Craftsmanship
We care deeply about how ImageAssist looks, feels, and performs.
From photo alignment to background removal to workflow design — every detail matters.
Clinical photography should be simple, consistent, and high-quality every time.
We build products we're proud to put in front of clinicians and patients.
Intensity
We move quickly and hold a high bar.
Healthcare workflows don't tolerate inefficiency — and neither do we.
We continuously improve the product, respond to feedback, and push to make ImageAssist the standard for clinical photography.
We are here to build something that lasts.
Family
We believe great teams build great products.
We support each other, communicate openly, and take ownership of our work.
Many of us are building alongside families, patients, and real-world responsibilities — and we respect that.
We show up for each other and for our customers.
