— Anaesthesiologist, PA

— Transplant patient, NV

“We spend hours crawling through hundreds of pages of records. patient.app’s summaries are useful and help me find what I’m looking for to assess transplant eligibility. The team has been very responsive in adapting the format to get our needs just right and they help us with referral documentation to major centers. A genuine game changer for our profession.”

— Dr Eliot Heher, Transplant Nephrologist at Square Knot Health, MA

”I feel much safer knowing that I am less likely to miss something buried under a tab that I don’t know to look into.”

— Dr Rishi Patel, Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center, CA

“Its amazing to type in cardiology and see the notes come up. Jumping straight to the source really helps me parse valuable things from junk words that clutter medical records. I’ve made myself a surgery checklist that helps me check for things that lead to complications and cancellations. Such a joy to use!”

— Dr Alice Whyte, Cardiac Transplant Anesthesiologist at UPMC, PA

"The simplicity of this platform is really great. I can choose between different diagnostic frameworks that are run over patient data to pull out what is pertinent"

How it works

patients.app enhances your EMR and helps scale your practice without adding more people

1

We pool patient information (across PDF, fax, paper, EMRs) and search clinical networks so your records are comprehensive.

2

We find what you care about - e.g. kidney transplant criteria or a perioperative surgery checklist - and draft a note or report adapted to your style. We can also help with drafting documents you complete regularly.

3

You can easily and securely share with your EMR or another clinician.

Frequently asked questions

Is this AI doing diagnosis?

No. We use AI to reduce information overload, not to undertake any diagnosis or make any suggestions. You guide us with what you are looking for and we help you find it quickly and reliably.

I’m nervous about patient data. Does this require lots of permissions and IT help?

As long as you are treating patients, a Business Associate Agreement is all you need to get started. This gives us permission to find information on your patients under HIPAA.

You can also upload records on our secure portal or fax us. We can work with your PA and have you running within an hour - without a call to IT (unless you want to!).

What about my EMR?

We work with your existing EMR and reduce the time you spend trawling through it. We can send reports to your EMR so documentation is comprehensive and auditable.

I’m nervous about AI. Is it safe and private?

We set up a private and HIPAA compliant instance of AI that is exclusively for your practice. It does not share your patients’ data and only you can access it.

How do you know if this is reliable?

We have been working on this for a year and have logged over 4,000 hours of clinical validation across three sites.

What if I have a new patient that I know nothing about?

That's where we help the most. We plug into national data networks to help you find the information you need.

Why are you doing this?

Widespread EMR adoption has led to an explosion in medical record content. Every time a patient gets care, every subsequent clinician spends more time clicking. This is sapping the joy of clinical work.

A transplant nephrologist we work with gets paid $117 for a consult that requires 1.5 hours of record reading. Procedures are being canceled as information patients have already can't be found. The list goes on. No one went through medical school for this.
