The work of running a shift leaves no trace in any system.
Your HCM knows who works here. Your payroll system knows what they were paid. Neither of them knows that nights is two people short, that the same four names have carried every extra hour for six weeks, or that a swap was agreed at 11pm in a group chat and never written down anywhere. That layer — the one where a unit is actually run — lives in spreadsheets, text threads, paper sign-up sheets and somebody’s memory. Adelo is built for that layer, because it is the one nobody built for.
Every workflow started as a problem on a shift.
The 2 a.m. group text to fill a call-out. The paper sign-up sheet nobody could find. The attendance binder that made a difficult conversation harder than it needed to be. The license that lapsed quietly because it lived in a portal nobody opened. None of these are hypotheses about healthcare — they are the specific, unglamorous problems of running a unit, and each one is a feature in Adelo now because it was a bad night first.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer
“I built Adelo because my own critical-care unit deserved one calm place to run the shift — not ten disconnected tools and a group text at 2 a.m. Every workflow in it started as a problem I lived on the floor.”

Anyone can publish values. These are the ones you can verify somewhere else on this site — which is the only kind worth publishing.
Built by someone who was on the floor
Every workflow in Adelo started as a problem experienced on a shift, not as a line on a roadmap. That is the whole thesis of the company, and it is checkable — the details are specific in a way that only comes from having lived them.

Every healthcare worker uses Adelo free, forever. Not a trial, not a freemium ladder, not free-until-we-need-revenue. The people doing the work are never the ones billed for the tool.

No SOC 2 badge we don't hold. No “HIPAA certified” claim, because HHS doesn't issue one. Our security page lists the certifications we lack as prominently as the controls we have.

We're not trying to be your system of record. Adelo lives where the shift actually happens — one unit, one team, one day at a time — and earns the second unit rather than selling the whole system on a slide.
