Healthcare organizations lose countless hours to paperwork, spreadsheets, and manual tracking of nursing credentials—a problem that costs time, risks compliance violations, and pulls clinicians away from patient care. CerTracker, an AI-powered compliance management platform, was built by nurses who experienced these challenges firsthand and decided to fix them.
The platform operates on an "upload once, sync anywhere" principle, allowing nurses to maintain a digital wallet of their credentials, certifications, and continuing education units while giving healthcare leaders real-time visibility into compliance status across their organizations. It's designed to eliminate the fragmented systems and email chains that plague credential management in hospitals and health systems nationwide.
National Recognition for Nurse-Led Innovation
CerTracker has earned attention from major healthcare organizations and accelerators. The company was selected for the Nurse Innovator Row at the 2025 ANCC Magnet Conference in Atlanta, a showcase of top nurse-founded startups nationwide. It also secured a spot in the AONL Nurse Innovator Showcase, which highlights solutions created by nurses for nursing challenges.
The platform won the American Heart Association/MATTER HBCU Heart of Innovation Challenge and received $10,000 from the Lundbeck US Charitable Fund's Advancing Brain Health Innovation Challenge. After completing the WE BUILD Accelerator, CerTracker earned a $25,000 non-dilutive grant. The company also graduated from the i2E Accelerator Program, securing seed capital from Plains Ventures and OCAST.
To date, CerTracker has raised over $125,000 in non-dilutive funding and launched nationwide pilots with healthcare systems.
Built for Both Clinicians and Leadership
The platform serves two distinct but connected users. Individual nurses—RNs, LPNs, NPs, APRNs, First Responders and all healthcare professionals —use CerTracker to organize their credentials, manage continuing education, and receive smart reminders for license renewals. On the organizational side, Chief Nursing Officers, Magnet Program Directors, PPDs, Healthcare Leaders and Compliance Managers get automated license verification, audit-ready reports, and tools for Magnet and Pathway to Excellence readiness.
This dual approach addresses a fundamental problem in healthcare compliance: the disconnect between what frontline staff track individually and what leadership needs to see across the organization. CerTracker bridges that gap with dashboards that provide visibility at both levels.
Ambitious Growth Plans
Over the next three years, CerTracker aims to expand to over 500 health systems and 500,000 active users. The roadmap includes AI-driven predictive analytics for compliance risk detection, partnerships with the American Nurses Association and ANCC, and the launch of CerTracker Enterprise for large health networks managing multiple facilities.
The company positions itself as more than software—it's an effort to return time to nurses and healthcare leaders who currently spend hours on administrative tasks. By automating credential verification and accreditation readiness, CerTracker aims to reduce burnout and allow healthcare workers to focus on patient care rather than paperwork.
