Imagine if patients could write notes for their doctors. That's exactly what we do.

Allevia is an AI-powered patient intake solution that automates clinical documentation for healthcare providers.

Here's how it works:

1. Mobile Notification: As soon as an appointment is made at the office, the patient will receive a text message, email, or portal notification asking them to fill out a Pre-appointment Questionnaire. Patients can do this on any device, anywhere, any time.

2. AI-Powered Intake: Allevia uses intelligent algorithms to cross reference evidence-based literature with the patient's chief complaint, medical history, and visitation reason to identify the most pertinent clinical questions unique to their presentation.

3. Draft EHR Note: Allevia converts the patient's responses into a draft note directly in your EHR, leaving you with the best door note possible about your patient - _all before ever stepping foot in an exam room._

Augmedix empowers clinicians to connect with patients by liberating them from administrative burden through the power of ambient AI, data, and trust. The platform transforms natural conversations into organized medical notes, structured data, and point-of-care notifications that enhance efficiency and clinical decision support. Incorporating data from millions of interactions across all care settings, Augmedix collaborates with hospitals and health systems to improve clinical, operational, and financial outcomes.

Augmedix’s solutions include: 

• Medical documentation – Augmedix provides industry-leading, ambient AI medical documentation technology with ambient clinical intelligence that alleviates administrative burden and gives doctors more time to focus on patient care. Augmedix’s products extract data from natural clinician-patient conversations and convert the data in real time to medical notes, which are seamlessly transferred to the EHR. 
• Point-of-care notifications – Augmedix's technology delivers point-of-care notifications in real time, enhancing patient care and physician efficiency by providing vital data during patient visits. This eliminates the need for manual data searches and helps avoid medical errors due to missing patient information. Available in both fast-paced environments like emergency departments and ambulatory care settings alike, the system pushes reminders for lab orders and medication prescriptions, prompts for available test results, and authorization and referral alerts, among other clinical decision support tools.
• Structured data – Augmedix’s ability to transform unstructured data into structured data is significant to creating a medical note and also invaluable to health systems to identify trends and correlations and glean actionable insights. Augmedix can extract structured data from physician-patient interactions and upload it directly to the health system’s data lake. This powerful asset can provide health systems with insights into population studies, workflow efficiencies, clinical outcomes, reimbursement issues, and readmissions data, among others.
• Open ecosystem – Augmedix offers an open ecosystem of digital health solutions that integrates partners into its technology through application programming interfaces (API), structured data, and its point-of-care notifications channel. This allows health systems to tackle a broad spectrum of administrative burden, improving operations and physician and patient experiences.

vs. EHR Templates - Templates, although useful on a provider-specific basis, have faced more scrutiny for their role in medical errors and liability. [Studies](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3797550/) suggest EHR templates are associated with lower quality care, inaccurate documentation, and increased risk of fraud.

vs. Scribes - Although helpful in reducing documentation burdens and increasing productivity in some specialties, medical scribes bring significant fixed costs to an organization. Allevia™ is capable of reducing fixed costs by 90% by decreasing the need for auxiliary transcription personnel while maintaining or exceeding productivity gains compared to scribing services.

vs. Dictation/Transcription - Studies show speech recognition technology used for medical dictation and transcriptionists can have [error rates up to 96% and 58%](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6203313/), respectively, with most involving clinical information and requiring more time for manual review. Transcription services are associated with significant license fees per provider or difficult-to-account price per line fees, contributing to additional fixed costs and budgeting issues.

vs Portals - Current patient portals face [several limitations](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4733220/) on the clinical data that can be collected from patients. Allevia™ is not intended to replace portals; instead, think of Allevia™ as a plug-in that enhances a portal's capability to gather clinical precise clinical data by guiding the patient through highly-pertinent clinical questions.

* Preserves Clinical Workflow - Allevia is a 100% patient-facing solution that preserves provider workflow in the best way possible - by not having providers interact with the technology at all.

* The Best Door Note Possible - Allevia provides a draft EHR note _before_ they even see their patient, giving them a "road map" in advance that can be used to develop a higher quality care plan. Additionally, research suggests equipping providers with the patient's unique history beforehand contributes to [higher patient satisfaction](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4535210/).

* Higher Quality Encounters - Other scribing technologies _still_ require the provider to spend their already-limited amount of time with patients on clinical intake and history taking, which is [associated with _lower patient satisfaction_](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8454118). By engaging in clinician-level intake outside of the exam room, Allevia maximizes the quality of the patient-provider encounter by reducing clinical interrogation time, allowing providers to focus consultation time on the tasks that truly drive positive outcomes: shared decision-making, patient education, and the physical exam.

* Device-independent - [Recent reports](http://time.com/5568815/amazon-workers-listen-to-alexa/) suggest private company staff may be listening in on smart speaker conversations and other hardware. Additionally, hardware requirements contribute to significant fixed costs and may pose additional exposure to security risks. Allevia™ is a cloud-based, device-independent web application that provides patients maximal privacy and security within our encrypted, HIPAA-compliant servers accessible only by a limited number of our administrators - not by the big tech companies.

* Unified Branding - We understand the importance of your organization's brand power in the eyes of your patients. That's why we're happy to white-label our system with your organization logo and color scheme.

* No Behavior Changes - Not all patients use voice-based tools - but virtually all interact with touch-based mobile devices every day. Allevia maximizes compliance and usability with a touch-based system that can be done anywhere, any time, and on any device.

One-stop – The packaging of multiple products and services in one suite of integrated applications—as opposed to a single-point solution—simplifies operations by reducing the number of vendors and contracts. 

Your data is your data – Allows the health system full access to its structured data and derives insights that address clinical and operation challenges—regardless of which Augmedix application is used.

Customizable – Not a one-size-fits-all solution: applications can be customized to meet the specific needs of doctors, specialties, or health systems.

Clinician change agent – Access to notifications and change management solutions (workflows, treatment protocols) delivered at the point of care can influence the behavior of a large number of clinicians and also help improve outcomes.
