Healing light for healthcare

Every new patient admission meant the same thing: handwriting twenty, thirty orders onto paper physician order forms — orders you had just entered into the EHR minutes before. What should take minutes took an hour or more. And then those paper forms had to get signed.

The breaking point came on a Friday evening. A nurse was covering an unfamiliar area, at a facility new to the company, with a stack of fresh orders. The facility's policy was strict — no orders would be initiated until the physician's signature was on paper. It was after hours. The on-call doctor was hard to reach.

And even when doctors are reachable, getting a signature is its own ordeal. Some want a photo texted over. Some want a PDF emailed. Others will only sign through an e-signature link. Every doctor has a different process, and every minute spent figuring it out is a minute not spent on patient care.

That Friday, after rounds of calls, the facility agreed to start the orders if a signed copy arrived the next day. But it was Friday evening. The signed order didn't arrive until Monday. The weekend was tense — the facility wasn't happy, and the company spent days cleaning up what should have been routine.

This wasn't a one-time disaster. This was every week. Different facility, different doctor, same broken process.

That was the last straw. Our founder — a nurse with years of experience across clinical specialties, nursing informatics, and software development — decided to stop working around the problem and start building the solution.

An app that turns an hour of handwriting into seconds of digital entry. An e-signature platform that puts a signing link in a physician's hands instantly — no scanning, no emailing PDFs, no chasing callbacks.

That's Sanolume. Built by a nurse who got tired of workarounds — for every nurse who feels the same way.
