The problem it solves

Your care team can't manually track every appointment, follow-up, and lab result across your patient population. Important warning signs get missed, and patients who need a reminder or extra outreach fall through the cracks.

Who it fits

Healthcare operations teams and care coordinators managing patient outreach and follow-up.

How it works

  1. Patient records and appointment data are checked on a regular schedule
  2. AI reviews each patient's risk for missed appointments or care gaps
  3. Routine reminders go out automatically by text, email, or portal message
  4. High-risk cases are flagged to care coordinators in Slack for immediate follow-up
What you get

Patients who get attention before it's urgent

It reminds patients about upcoming appointments and lets your care team know right away when someone needs extra attention.

What you get

Automatic appointment reminders for patients and instant alerts to staff for high-risk cases.

What you need

An EHR system with FHIR access, an OpenAI API key, and Twilio, Gmail, and Slack accounts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
