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._

• Create: Use Avo’s customizable templates, EHR data-pulling functionality, and AI features, to create tools that work for your organization in our "no code" Builder paltform with "drag and drop" functionality. 
• Simulate: Enhance team collaboration and simplify the review process by verifying with your teammates in Avo Builder.
• Publish: Provide instant access to your tools and make seamless updates as you receive feedback and as medical evidence evolves.

Avo’s clinician support platform empowers healthcare organizations to standardize care and reduce burnout by effortlessly incorporating guidelines and protocols into the clinical workflow. By centralizing the latest information and transforming it into actionable tools in the EHR (or outside of it), Avo simplifies everyday tasks like pre-charting, care planning, documentation, ordering, and more. 

Avo’s foundational product, Avo Pathway, is a medical reference tool that comes with a free library of digitized society guidelines and top calculators. In addition to customizing pre-built templates from leading medical societies and academic medical centers, health systems can leverage their own content to turn pages of guidelines and protocols into useful clinical tools.  

Avo’s time-saving AI product, Avo Assistant, is an end-to-end clinical workflow tool that helps healthcare organizations reduce burnout by automating every day tasks like pre-charting, care planning, documentation (with ambient listening) and ordering. 

The platform is EHR integrated and powered by its "no-code" Avo Builder, which allows systems to use drag-and-drop functionality to customize Avo products. After a quick one-time install, updates can be published immediately without needing IT support. 

Avo was built for clinicians, by clinicians. Randomized control trials have shown that Avo saves clinicians 50% of their time on average and has improved admission delays to the ED by 30%. Importantly, nearly 100% of Avo users advocate for more Avo use cases after implementation. At Avo, we believe there is a better way to standardize care - with love, not alerts. 

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.

• Easily create and customize clinician tools with a versatile “Builder”: Create interactive clinician tools that can be deployed across a variety of use cases by leveraging “drag and drop” features and templates that pull in relevant evidence-based guidelines and patient information into the workflow to help drive clinician efficiency and aid in decision making. 
• Simply deploy and maintain clinician tools in the EHR with little-to-no technical resourcing: Implement quality improvement, cost reduction, and reimbursement initiatives in the clinical workflow without requiring months of IT resourcing; after a simple initial install, tools can be created and updated with 0 technical resourcing. 

There is no Builder platform on the market like Avo's that allows users to completely customize clinician-facing decision support tools and assistants without requiring hospital/EHR IT teams.
