We wrote this manifesto to tell you why Red Thread exists. Every year hospitals waste about $25 billion—and frontline teams lose 20,000 hours—because legacy supply-chain software is rigid and opaque. We’re changing that. Red Thread brings an AI-first, graph-based platform that unites data, decisions, and people so clinicians can refocus on patients. In the post we share the principles guiding us, early proof of impact, and an invitation to join our pilot community.
