Aptus Life

Aptus Life was created to answer one question: why does treating patients focus on the disease and not the person?

Today's technology allows us to put systems in place that improve patient engagement and disease detection, and in turn, the overall treatment. With three decades of experience, Jay Brenner set an ambitious goal to shift the focus to proactive patient care and to build a company that does just that where every decision is truly made with the patient in mind. Aptus Life is about giving patients a clear view of their own health and care.

Jay Brenner is now one of the top experts in his field and has helped transform the healthcare industry both domestically and internationally. He has improved clinical and financial outcomes for patients and reshaped the market for RPM and telehealth. His international experience took him to Australia where he worked to enhance hospital conditions and developed innovative programs such as "Healing Assemblies" designed to improve and educate patients.
