Clinician Support Technology

Clinician Support Technology (CST) was a pioneering healthcare information technology company focused on developing collaborative "healthware" and patient-facing portals. Founded by Dr. Charles Safran, the company's flagship product, Baby CareLink, was a secure web-based platform that facilitated communication and education for families of premature infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). CST's technology aimed to empower patients and their families, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce hospital readmission rates through better discharge planning and remote support. The company's assets and technology were eventually acquired by a major public healthcare IT firm, integrating its specialized portals into broader clinical information systems.
