Jamie Kurtz

Technology Executive

As a seasoned software engineer, consultant, published author, speaker, and executive, I am most at home deploying technology and technology teams to capitalize on interesting business opportunities. I'm especially fond of helping people use technology to reduce friction and frustration and reclaim time for what matters most. With nearly 30 years working across manufacturing, banking, trading, security, pharma, education, and healthcare, I've enjoyed a diversity of problems and the people working to solve them, particularly in startups and startup like environments. My wife and I live and work in Carmel, Indiana, which has proven itself a wonderful place to raise a family alongside a stellar community of innovators and entrepreneurs. Most of my time is spent working, but I also find time to run, bike, play with the dog, deepen my faith, and hone my long range shooting skills.

At Backline by DrFirst we are bringing an entirely new paradigm of communication and collaboration to healthcare in hopes of improving the lives of patients and their personal and professional care teams. It's certainly no secret that healthcare today is challenging for both patients and providers. Our belief is that through the power of efficient technology-driven connections, we can finally begin actually reducing burden and bring the joy of care back to professionals and patients alike. We are now deploying our next-generation communication and collaboration platform that truly reflects the natural habits of healthcare professionals and their patients - as opposed to forcing them into noisy and inefficient technology-centric workflows. Connect with me on LinkedIn or send an email to info@backlinehealth.com to hear more about how Backline is lowering cost, reducing noise, and improving the lives of healthcare professionals and patients around the country.
