  • This insight, gained while investigating an investment in an urgent care chain, prompted him to apply the principles of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) from the automotive world to streamline medical workflows.

Case studies suggest the platform can significantly increase patient throughput and improve an urgent care facility's profitability from near zero to over 40% EBITDA.

The 'AI Triage and Guidance' system then uses a chatbot to collect detailed symptom information. This culminates in a one-page summary for the provider, which includes rank-ordered potential illnesses and decision support backed by peer-reviewed literature. The AI also acts as a scribe, automatically generating notes and integrating data into major Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. An 'Augmented Reality Medical Measurements' tool empowers junior medical staff to collect clinical-grade vitals, images, and sounds for later review. Finally, the platform manages 'Post-Visit Follow-up' and chronic care by engaging patients via text and connected devices. The company has achieved notable milestones, including being recognized by Gartner in its Hype Cycle for Digital Care Delivery for four consecutive years.
