What is Bright.md?

Bright.md is a complete, white-labeled solution for health systems to empower their patient population with self-service online tools that guides them to the optimal type of care based on their concern, and when determined appropriate, take a thorough symptom assessment to receive a diagnosis and treatment plan from their own providers.

Product Description:
  • eCART is a research-based, AI-driven software as a medical device (SaMD) that utilizes a machine learning algorithm to continuously assess hospitalized patients’ risk of impending death or intensive care unit (ICU) transfer, assisting medical staff in swift and accurate recognition of patients requiring increased medical attention. eCART draws upon readily available patient data from the EHR, rapidly quantifies disease severity, and predicts likelihood of critical illness onset, hours before it happens.
  • eCART received FDA 510(k) clearance in 2024, with clinical performance data of nearly two million hospitalizations from 21 hospitals, including an unprecedented level of real-world prospective data, to ensure consistent accuracy across geography, age, race, and top medical conditions (e.g. sepsis, COPD, heart failure). 
  • Built upon more than a decade of ongoing scientific research, eCART was developed at UChicago Medicine by Dr. Dana Edelson, MD, MS and Dr. Matthew Churpek, MD, PhD and is well chronicled in published literature. The analytic and workflow have been in use in clinical practice since 2016.
About AgileMD:

At AgileMD, we are building the most advanced real-time predictive analytics and clinical pathways platform for hospitals.

To date, AgileMD tools have been used on more than 4 million patient encounters by more than 135,000 clinical users in over 250 hospitals, including some of the nation's leading academic medical centers. AgileMD's eCART clinical deterioration prediction software is FDA cleared and the first AI-powered early warning device for ward patients to go through the FDA process with real-world prospective data. 

AgileMD is backed by premier start-up partners MATTER, YCombinator, and Rock Health, and our cutting-edge analytics are built on more than decade of ongoing research at the University of Chicago. In 2021, AgileMD garnered nearly $3 million in combined federal research and development funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

Product Capabilities

Bright.md is accessed via SSO with EHR portal credentials. Patient interviews are available on-demand from a mobile or desktop with just a 3G connection, in English and Spanish.

Bright.md provides an asynchronous virtual care solution in which a patient completes an online symptom assessment, which is reviewed by a provider who recommends a treatment plan and diagnosis. Data required for treatment is collected via a series of clinical interview questions that the patient provides answers to via multiple choice, open text, or by uploading a photo relative to their concern. Allergies, medications, and problem list for the patient is brought in from the EHR and made visible to the provider who is providing treatment.

Bright.md translates the patient interview into a chart-ready SOAP note and makes it readily available via MDM interface for integration as an encounter in the EHR. Bright.md presents all necessary information for the provider to confirm the diagnosis, change the diagnosis, or escalate the patient to a higher modality of care if they feel that treatment cannot be provided asynchronously.

Technical support is provided to our health system customers directly. We offer 24/7 support for our provider users and program administrator users.

Bright.md is staffed by health system providers, typically using a centralized care team that manages virtual visits. We can support multiple provider pools that may specialize in certain types of conditions, so patients awaiting treatment are segmented by condition.

Bright.md provides in-depth reporting to our customers to measure their utilization and success over time. Specific reporting metrics include: Provider efficiency Interview utilization Common diagnoses Patient satisfaction and feedback Prescription volumes Escalation rates

Bright.md provides the software solution for health systems to treat 130+ diagnoses virtually, without the use of video (asynchronous telehealth). Patients complete an on-demand interview at any time that captures a thorough symptom assessment while ruling out potentially emergent conditions, just like a face-to-face visit with a clinician. Patients receive questions based on their answers, and if an emergent condition is suspected, the patient is escalated out, with recommended next steps configured by your system. Clinical decision support provides a recommended diagnosis and treatment plan derived from evidence-based guidelines, along with a SOAP formatted chart-note logged as an encounter in your EHR—allowing providers efficiency while preserving autonomy and clinical judgment. Once the provider completes the asynchronous visits, the patient receives a complete after visit summary with treatment instructions and education, along with any prescriptions sent electronically to their preferred pharmacy.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Our content is evidence-based and updated regularly based on the latest clinical guidelines. It is developed, constantly evaluated and updated based on user data and feedback, and maintained by a team of physicians, writers, and editors. Our Interview is available in English or Spanish with medically-certified translation, and all of our content is created at a 4th-grade reading level, removing medical jargon and using images as easy guides. 

Because we've been building and refining our clinical content for more than eight years, improving with reviews and feedback from clinician leaders at some of the top health systems in the country, we've built a clinical content engine that cannot be replicated.

One of the Lead Clinicians at one client shared that he reviewed all of our content in detail and was "extremely impressed", sharing that it would "take thousands of hours of clinician time to even attempt".

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Robust, Proprietary Clinical Content

With Bright.md, your providers are reviewers of content, not creators. Our evidence-based content containing 29 unique interviews, and treating 130+ diagnoses, is developed and maintained by a team of board-certified physicians to keep yours focused on delivering care to patients.  

Self-Service Administration

Respond quickly to changing demands with real-time access to custom care routing, interview activation, and more.

Bi-directional EHR Integration
