As a nurse she saw the problems of US healthcare. Her startup heals them.

Cassie Choi, a critical care nurse in San Francisco, was frustrated with the healthcare system. She had been trying to instigate better methods for delivering care to patients, but the system wasn’t responding nearly fast enough to suit her.
“I didn’t want to be a cog in the wheel,” says Choi , who earned a nursing degree from Northeastern in 2013. “So I decided to move to startups as a way to make the impact that I felt was necessary.”
Choi is co-founder and chief operating officer of Pair Team , which has been streamlining access to healthcare since 2019. The focus is on providing technology and remote care teams to clinics in underserved communities. Pair Team currently manages 5,000 patients in Southern California with plans to provide services for an additional 30,000 patients this summer.

In support of her startup, Choi has received an inaugural $5,000 Innovator Award from Northeastern’s Women Who Empower inclusion and entrepreneurship initiative. The awards recognize 19 women who are graduates or current students at Northeastern. The organization is distributing a total of $100,000 in grants to help fund 17 ventures.
Choi has spent the past five years seeking better healthcare solutions for people in need. One year after helping launch a health tech startup in 2016, she moved on to a leadership role with a health technology company. Those experiences inspired her to join with Neil Batlivala , her co-founder and chief executive officer, to develop Pair Team.
“We really want to serve the patient populations that are more meaningful to us,” Choi says. “My co-founder grew up in India, where there are drastic socio-economic disparities. I grew up in New Hampshire and worked alongside patients in Roxbury [in Boston, Mass.] and the [emergency rooms] in Boston and Washington Heights in inner-city San Francisco—and I knew that the [tools] that we had built in Silicon Valley would have a greater impact on them. Pair Team is on a mission to bring technology innovations to clinicians that serve those patient populations in rural areas across America.”
Pair Team deploys automated systems that enable people to find the care they need and access it more quickly, including chronic care management and outreach to patients who need preventive care.
“We come in as a remote team to offload the work that needs to happen,” Choi says. “It’s getting patients to labs, getting them to mammograms, and helping these complex patient populations navigate the healthcare system. When they’re working three jobs and taking care of kids, they don’t have the time to sit on hold for 10 minutes to schedule a mammogram, even if they know what number to call.”
Their aim is to bring services to states that have expanded Medicaid coverage, including Texas, Ohio, and Florida.
“We partner with health plans to bring our services to their clinical network,” Choi says. “In places where there’s a lot of rural healthcare, it comes down to cost. If you’re fiscally conservative, you end up being a healthcare liberal because that’s the way to solve the financial problem of healthcare.”
As a student, Choi was told that she wouldn’t continue her work as “a bedside nurse for long” by Catherine O’Connor, clinical instructor and director of Mobile Health at the Bouvé College of Health Sciences . O’Connor wasn’t surprised last year when Pair Team received $2.7 million in seed funding to take on the fragmented U.S. healthcare system.
“Her previous experience as a critical care nurse in multiple acute care settings was the obvious catalyst for Cassie to identify what was broken in American healthcare,” says O’Connor. “I hope that in the future Cassie will have the opportunity to disseminate her experiences to other nurse entrepreneurs in successfully merging tech-enabled support to enhance the delivery of patient-centered care.”
Which strikes at another of Choi’s goals: She says her dream job is to become director of innovation and entrepreneurship at Bouvé.
“I really believe that Northeastern can breed innovative and entrepreneurial nurses,” says Choi, who encourages nursing students to take computer coding and other courses to broaden their approach. “I never knew that nurses could be founders or could create technology. I just think it’s important to have exposure to different career paths in nursing.”

Accused UK serial killer nurse Lucy Letby was “interrupted” as she murdered a baby by the child’s distressed mom — but tricked her by saying, “Trust me, I’m a nurse,” prosecutors said Tuesday.
The mom had found Letby, 32, with her bloodied son the night before he died in August 2015 — and the day before the nurse also tried to kill the child’s twin brother, Manchester Crown Court heard.
“We say that [the mom] interrupted Lucy Letby who was attacking [her baby son], although she did not realize it at the time,” prosecutor Nick Johnson told the court, according to The Independent.
The baby, identified as Child E, was “acutely distressed and bleeding from his mouth” after Letby allegedly injected air into his bloodstream Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester, the court heard. However, the nurse told the mom the blood was just from a stomach tube irritating her newborn’s throat, the trial heard.
“Trust me, I’m a nurse,” Letby told the mother, according to Johnson.
The mom then left her dying newborn after being “fobbed off by Lucy Letby,” he said.
Child E died in the early hours after losing more blood than one medical official said he’d ever witnessed from a baby, the trial heard. Letby made “fraudulent” nursing notes which were “false, misleading and designed to cover her tracks,” the prosecutor said.
The next day, she then tried to also kill the dead baby’s twin brother, Child F, this time by poisoning him by injecting insulin, the court heard.
Negligence was ruled out because no other baby on the ward had been prescribed insulin, Johnson said, noting that Letby hung up the bag and was in the room at the time the boy was poisoned.
“The only credible candidate” to be the poisoner was Letby, he said, “the same person who was present at all the unexplained collapses and deaths at the Countess of Chester Hospital on the neo-natal unit.”
The nurse also showed “unusual interest” in the family, repeatedly searching them up on social media — even on Christmas Day, the court heard.
Child E is one of seven children — five boys and two girls — that Letby has been charged with murdering . His twin, Child F, is one of 10 children that she is charged with attempting to murder between June 2015 and June 2016.
She tried to kill some of the them more than once, and at least one was left “severely disabled,” the court heard.
Johnson said all the deaths and collapses were “not naturally occurring or random events.”
“They were deliberate attempts to kill using slightly different methods by which Lucy Letby sought to give the appearance of chance events,” he added.
Letby, from Hereford, has denied all the charges. Her trial is scheduled to continue Wednesday.

Senior national correspondent Rich Edson on how Democrats and Republicans are campaigning on abortion ahead of November's midterms on 'Fox News @ Night.'
A nurse in the U.K. pleaded not guilty Monday to accusations that she murdered five baby boys and two girls, and attempted to murder 10 more children.
Lucy Letby, 32, was a "constant, malevolent presence" in the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital, prosecutor Nick Johnson argued before a jury at Manchester Crown Court in northwest England, according to The Independent .
Of the babies Letby allegedly murdered or attempted to murder between 2015 and 2016, the prosecution said she injected some with insulin, while another she injected with air. She allegedly attempted to kill one baby three times.
Johnson told jurors "a poisoner was at work" at the hospital, which he said had been marked by a "significant rise in the number of babies who were dying and in the number of serious catastrophic collapses" after January 2015, before which he said its rates of infant mortality were comparable to other busy hospitals.

After hospital authorities investigated the sudden surge in infant deaths, Johnson explained that they found Letby to be the "common denominator," and that the deaths aligned with her changing work hours.
"Lucy Letby was on duty when both were poisoned, and we allege she was the poisoner," Johnson told jurors. "There’s a very restricted number of people who could have been the poisoner, because entry to a neonatal unit is closely restricted."

"The collapses of all 17 children concerned were not 'naturally occurring tragedies,'" Johnson also said. "They were all the work, we say, of the woman in the dock, who we say was the constant, malevolent presence when things took a turn for the worse for these 17 children."
Letby was first arrested on suspicion of committing the crimes in 2018, according to the Cheshire Police Department, but "was subsequently bailed pending further enquiries."

She was arrested again a year later "on suspicion of murder in relation to the deaths of 8 babies and the attempted murder of 6 babies," and "the attempted murder of three additional babies," police said.
Letby pleaded not guilty to seven counts of murder and 15 counts of attempted murder. Her trial is slated to last for up to six months.

A "COLD-blooded" nurse smiled at the mum of a baby she murdered on the fourth attempt and sent sympathy card, a court heard today.
Lucy Letby, 32, allegedly murdered seven babies and attempted to kill ten others while working on the neo-natal ward at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
The "poisoner at work" is accused of injecting two babies with insulin during a year-long killing spree.
Letby also allegedly murdered or harmed others by injecting air or milk into their bloodstream or via a tube in their stomachs.
The collapses and deaths of all 17 children in the case were not "naturally-occurring tragedies", it was said.
Manchester Crown Court heard today how Letby tried four times to kill a premature baby girl - Child I - weighing just 2lbs 2oz.
After her death, the baby's mum told how Letby was "smiling and kept going on about how she was present at Child I's first bath and how much Child I had loved it", it was said.
The court was also told she sent a sympathy card to the grieving parents, which was "not normal".
Child I was said to be "in good condition" despite her size and was described as "resilient".
Prosecutor Nick Johnson KC told jurors Letby succeeded on the fourth attempt to murder the baby.
He added: "It was persistent, it was calculated and it was cold-blooded."
On October 12 to 13, 2015, the baby was doing well so the designated nurse left her "temporarily" and asked either Letby or another staff member on duty to keep an eye on her, it was said.
When she returned, Letby was allegedly stood in the doorway of the "darkened" room where she told the nurse the tot "looked pale".
The designated nurse discovered Child I "appeared to be at the point of death and was not breathing", jurors heard.
She was found to have gas swelling in her bowel - the same issue Child I had two weeks previously when Letby allegedly attempted to kill her.
Less than a hour, later the child's monitor alarm sounded again.
A colleague found Letby standing by the child's incubator and wanted to intervene as Child I was "distressed", it was said.
Letby told the worker "they would be able to sort it", it was said.
Jurors were told Child I then collapsed and died after attempts to revive her, led by a registrar, were unsuccessful.
Mr Johnson said the alleged murder of the baby I was an "extreme example even by the standards of this overall case".
He added: "This is a case where we allege Lucy Letby tried four times to kill her. (Child I) was resilient but ultimately at the fourth attempt Lucy Letby succeeded and killed her."
The court was also told today that Letby twice targeted a baby girl - Child H - when she was five and six days old.
Jurors heard the tot's case is complicated by the "suboptimal treatment Child H received at the start of her life".
But Mr Johnson said there were still "two occasions when Lucy Letby tried to kill Child H" on September 26, 2015, and the following night.
As the baby was being given treatment in the ICU section of the ward, Letby "would have had the cover of legitimacy for accessing her intravenous lines just before she collapsed", it was said.
Soon after, the court was told she suffered a collapse and needed a full resuscitation - although the cause was "unclear".
The following night, Letby was not Child H's designated nurse but was seen by a registrar activating a special resuscitator for babies called a neopuff to help her breathe when her oxygen levels dropped, jurors heard.
She was transferred to a different hospital on September 27 where it was said there was a "dramatic improvement".
Mr Johnson said: "As soon as children were removed from the Countess of Chester Hospital, and the sphere of Lucy Letby, they often suddenly and remarkably recovered."
The court was told around a week after Child H's second collapse, Letby searched for her mum on social media.
She also allegedly looked up the dad of twin children E and F and the mother of Child I on her day off.
Jurors heard yesterday how Child E was allegedly murdered by an injection of air into the bloodstream.
The court was told the baby's mum had visi
