Satxuma founder & developer

Hey, I'm Ben — the creator and founder of Satxuma.

You might be surprised to hear that before building Satxuma, I had zero experience in healthcare. My background is in mathematics and computer science, and I started my career as a data scientist before transitioning into software engineering.

How Satxuma Started​

It all began when a friend of a friend told me his rehab therapy clinic was losing its software provider — Casamba was shutting down. I was intrigued. Then I learned the main alternative was Net Health, and therapists really don’t like it. That’s when I got obsessed.

I spent months talking to therapists, directors of rehab, and clinic staff. I listened, took notes, asked dumb questions, and learned a lot. Meanwhile, I started building — writing code for something better, faster, and friendlier to use.

A year later, Satxuma has come a long way. But there's still plenty of work ahead.

A Few Hot Takes​

Here are some of my stronger opinions about rehab therapy software — feel free to disagree (or agree loudly):

  • Rehab software should be made by software people learning healthcare — not the other way around.
  • Customizability is usually overrated. It breeds bloat, bugs, and slow performance.
  • Plain language beats jargon: say occupational therapist instead of OT, treatment instead of tx, and so on.
  • Great software has great docs. No exceptions.

I Need Your Help​

If you’re a therapist, rehab director, clinic owner, billing specialist, or just someone curious — I’d love to hear from you.

I’m especially looking for:

  • Beta testers
  • Feedback
  • Customers
  • Partners
  • Ideas

If you're an investor: I’m not raising money right now — expenses are low, and I’m staying lean. But I’m open to a conversation, especially if you bring more than capital: introductions, customers, strategy — that kind of help.

Let’s make rehab software better.
