About SMARTCharts
SMARTCharts helps hospitals, rehabilitation teams and health insurers turn therapy notes into clearer discharge decisions. Its real-time view follows patients from admission through discharge. It brings physicians, therapists and case managers together around the same progress data. The software is designed to speed moves to the next care setting, reduce denials and cut avoidable hospital days. It also helps patients follow progress in speech, occupational and physical therapy.
SMARTCharts is based in Chicago. Corinne Vargas founded the company and serves as chief executive officer. Monica Navas is its chief product officer. NSF awarded the company $275,000 in Phase I support.

Why Investors Backed SMARTCharts
SMARTCharts identifies buried rehabilitation notes as a cause of slower care coordination and denials. NSF chose its approach twice, first for machine-learning visualization and then for AI-supported decisions across care settings. [1][4][3]
Origin and Team
Founder Corinne Vargas moved from actuarial work into speech-language pathology and has more than 15 years in data analytics and clinical applications.

It is designed to align physicians, therapists and case managers around discharge planning. It also supports patients in speech, occupational and physical therapy as they track progress and understand their care. [1][5]
SMARTCharts gives three performance figures: 50% faster note interpretation, 56% higher physician confidence and a 100% usefulness rating from physicians. [1]
