In 2008 he returned to school for a third time, obtaining a doctoral degree in physical therapy by 2011. When he started his career in physical therapy, he began to notice various issues in the healthcare industry. The three main issues included cost, efficiency, and accessibility. Ephraim decided to take action and help solve these complex issues by starting Hutano. Before starting Hutano, he decided to take at crack school one more time – this time to learn how to run a business. In 2018, Ephraim returned to school for the fourth time, this time obtaining an MBA in healthcare administration.

Ephraim created Hutano, a platform designed to assist patients in finding healthcare providers, book appointments, and pay for medical services online. Meanwhile, saving money, saving time, and improving the efficiency of providing healthcare. He envisioned a healthcare marketplace to facilitate healthcare delivery virtually, onsite, or in clinics. Patients use the platform to collaborate with providers, store, and share medical documents. In addition, the platform gives health care providers access to new patients, patient medical documents, and clinic practice management. Ephraim also teaches at Touro University in Nevada where instructs physical therapy students acute care, integumentary and neurology. In his leisure, he enjoys running, snowboarding, hiking, and gardening. His merger of tech and healthcare builds better changes for healthcare.
