Our History
HBI Solutions was founded in 2011 by Karl Sylvester, a pediatric surgeon; Bruce Ling, a PhD data scientist; and Eric Widen, a seasoned healthcare IT business executive—all of whom worked together at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California. The three shared a vision of improving health and reducing the cost of care. With the help of veteran health IT executive Frank Stearns, HBI built data models that could predict poor health outcomes before they happened, and then tested them in a variety of care settings and vetted them in multiple research studies.
