You are right. We were unaware of Stryker's Vocera prominence when we chose the name. Healthcare voice agents are a huge space. We have 6 clients in healthcare already.

We will discuss and evaluate the name internally to avoid confusion or potential issues. Thanks a lot for your feedback

It's prominently displayed as the top result when googling "Vocera". Unsure how this was missed by the founders or anyone involved in the YC network.
It’s a valid critique. In hindsight, this should have been caught earlier.
I want to say, this comes across as 3 founders who don't have real-world experience in the hospital field. As a buyer in healthcare, this basic of an error would signal to me that this company is not ready for the enterprise stage.
