PTA (Physical Therapist Assistant) struggles with high stress, excessive unpaid documentation time on poor EMR platforms, inconsistent pay, and feeling burned out from constant rushing between patients.

Existing EMR platform (PointCare) is horrible, leading to unpaid after-hours documentation; no streamlined solution for scheduling patients, route planning, and visit tracking that reduces administrative burden.
