Round Companion is built by clinicians, for clinicians. Every feature reflects a real problem faced every day on the floors.
Vikram Samala MD is a cardiology fellow with years of experience as a hospitalist and nursing home medical director. Rounding on patients daily across hospital and SNF settings made one thing clear — clinicians needed a better tool to manage the cognitive load of multi-patient care.
Round Companion is built on the premise that clinicians deserve tools that match the way they actually work — not tools that ask them to change their workflow to fit the software.
Round Companion is a product of Venkata Technologies LLC, a Delaware-registered company focused on building practical clinical workflow tools for physicians.
Every hospitalist, fellow, and resident performs six distinct cognitive tasks after rounds end:
1. Remembering what you said to the patient
2. Remembering what the attending said at bedside
3. Remembering the physical exam findings
4. Starting all the notes
5. Finalizing everything
6. Getting the tasks done — consults, callbacks, follow-ups
Most AI tools handle a partial version of step 4. They touch nothing else. Round Companion is built to handle all six.
Clinician-first design — every feature shaped by real rounding experience.
HIPAA-grade security — built to healthcare data protection standards from day one. Zero data retention on all AI calls.
EHR-agnostic — a companion layer that works above any EMR. No integration required.
Direct accountability — physician-founded and physician-led. We use this product ourselves.
