Healthcare logistics and operations

Advanced technology for healthcare logistics and operations

Capillary Health schedules people, routes visits and coordinates resources for clinical and veterinary teams, using optimization methods from operations research. Scheduling is live today.

Phase 1 winner, NIH ARISE-HIV LAUNCH Challenge

ARISE-HIV LAUNCH Challenge · Phase 1 winner · 2026

National Institutes of Health

Office of AIDS Research

An NIH prize for scheduling HIV injections.

Our entry, “Capillary Health: Logistics for HIV Care,” was named one of 35 Phase 1 winners in September 2026. It is designed to plan where a clinician, the medicine and the person meet, so long-acting injections happen inside their dosing windows.

One platform for the logistics of care

Scheduling is the main module and is live today. Routing modules plan home visits, veterinary field days and HIV care.

Scheduling

Live

Plan and publish shift schedules

Build a month of shifts for physicians, APPs and any team that works in shifts. Every save is checked for role, overlapping shifts and minimum rest, and the schedule stays a private draft until you publish it.

  • Rules checked on every save, across month boundaries.
  • Private drafts, with a record of who published and when.
  • Trades, time off and requests, with a swap finder that shows only swaps that pass every check.
  • One account across sites, with each person's hours, rest and fatigue in one place.

Example checks

Day shift: less than 12 hours of rest from Night shift on Oct 11.

Night shift: overlaps Evening shift on Oct 14.

Clinic shift: clinician does not match the required role.

Saving stops at the first assignment that breaks a rule and names the shift and the rule.

Home-visit routing

Dispatch and routing for clinicians, couriers and equipment visiting patients at home, planned around visit windows, skills and travel time.

Veterinary field teams

Routing and scheduling for mobile veterinary teams: house-call days planned around appointment windows, staff skills and same-day sick visits.

HIV care logistics

Plans where a clinician, the medicine and the person meet, so long-acting HIV injections happen inside their dosing windows. A working demonstration with synthetic data.

About us

Ten years of digital tools for physicians

Capillary Health is built by ConductScience. Since 2016 we have built software for physicians, researchers and care teams, with partners such as Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Lurie Children’s Hospital and UC Riverside School of Medicine.

Built on published operations research

Capillary applies methods from healthcare routing and resource allocation. Each plan comes from the people, rules, places and time windows you give it.

Published research

Algorithmic matching of personal protective equipment donations with healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published in npj Digital Medicine (Nature Portfolio, 2021). Capillary Health applies the same approach to daily healthcare logistics: matching scarce people and resources to time-sensitive work.

Methods

Healthcare routing and resource allocation

  • Multi-resource matching with skill and supply constraints
  • Time-window and synchronization requirements
  • Continuity and service quality as optimization objectives
  • Capacity balancing and resource utilization
  • Real-world road network travel times (OSRM)
