Description

Product Description:
ActX is a genomic decision support service that is tightly integrated within the EHR. With ActX implemented, every time a prescription order is written in the routine medication order workflow, it will be checked for drug-genome interactions and the prescriber alerted as needed. Provider friendly, and CAP accredited initial results will be generated and returned to the provider in the clinical inbasket. A dynamic and up-to-date Genomic Profile for each patient will be available in their chart. Patient genetic data can be imported from any clinically valid source. The knowledgebase content is easily customizable and includes content for pharmacogenomics, actionable genetic risks, and carrier statuses.
About ActX, Inc.:

ActX helps physicians make better decisions about medical treatment, using patients’ genetic information. ActX uses its GenoACT℠ clinical decision support program to analyze a patient’s genetic information and alert physicians in real time through their existing workflow tool, the electronic health record, about drug-genome interactions, actionable hereditary risks and carrier status

Product Description:

Ask Avo acts as a “digital front door” for clinicians, helping them navigate their complex EHR with ease. Ask Avo is actionable, allowing providers to ask for a patient chart summary pre-visit, a care gaps analysis, an ambient note, an order placement, and more. This unique combination of clinical decision support paired with real-time actions not only enhances provider decision-making but also saves them valuable time and improves patient outcomes.

About Avo:

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.

Ask Avo is HIPAA secure and SOC 2 Type II certified.

Ask Avo is much more than a clinical summary aggregating information from often out-of-date and irrelevant sources. It is designed to generate responses from recent content relevant to the institution whose clinicians are using it. The tool's unique design includes a proprietary questioning system triple verification against trusted guidelines, and offers clinician visibility and control, further enhancing its reliability. For example, when a clinician “Asks Avo” a question, the AI rephrases the question on the backend based on what it believes the clinician intended to ask. At the same time, its’ large-language-model questions and verifies the response for accuracy, relevancy, and comprehensiveness. The clinician then has full visibility into where the response was sourced from and has the power to change the source if they wish. Avo believes that AI must understand its limits, and thus the product allows clinicians to click the “AI Critic” button to see where there may be clinical gaps in the response. The product was purpose-built to assist, not dictate.

Ask Avo pulls from 2K+ society guidelines and approved research content including pathways and order sets to produce relevant results.

Ask Avo evidence is constantly reviewed and updated by the team of clinical informaticians and AI software.

Ask Avo is never one-size-fits-all. Using Avo's customizable, back-end Builder, healthcare systems can swiftly customize and upload their own guidelines to Avo’s Knowledge Base and work with Avo’s team of informatics and technical experts to determine various guidelines’ relevance in clinical settings. In other words, health systems are empowered to implement AI within their own determined limits, prioritizing responses based on their guidelines and unique patient populations. They don’t need IT resources to do it, which is generally the key blocker to implementing AI solutions in the EHR. Systems have access to drag-and-drop functionality via Avo’s Builder platform to customize Ask Avo, and updates can be published immediately without needing IT support. Because Avo offers an end-to-end workflow solution, clinicians can also seamlessly integrate Ask Avo into many aspects of their work. For example, once a clinician asks the tool a question and receives a response, they can easily pull that response in their everyday tasks like pre-charting, documentation, and ordering, among much else.

Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • EHR Integration ond Actionability: Tools not integrated into the EHR are never top-of-mind for clinicians and therefore require a huge investment from health systems to drive up adoption. Additionally, point solutions slow clinicians down instead of streamlining everything they need in one place. Ask Avo is designed to integrate seamlessly into EHR systems, leveraging nationwide patient data from HIEs to provide relevant and trustworthy responses based on the latest system and society guidelines. 
  • Customizable, Actionable & Easy to Deploy: AI consult tools currently in the market simply produce a basic clinical summary, aren’t customizable, and lack critical, hospital-specific guidelines that meet the needs of local populations. Additionally, many tools require a tremendous amount of time and effort for IT teams to create, implement, and maintain. Ask Avo is never one-size-fits-all. Using Avo's customizable, back-end Builder, healthcare systems can swiftly customize and upload their own guidelines to Avo’s Knowledge Base and work with Avo’s team of informatics and technical experts to determine various guidelines’ relevance in clinical settings. In other words, health systems are empowered to implement AI within their own determined limits, prioritizing responses based on their guidelines and unique patient populations. 
  • Trustworthy, Relevant & Transparent: Studies have shown that, especially in healthcare, ChatGPT is prone to hallucinations and incorrect or irrelevant source citations, in some cases referencing research that does not even exist. Health system decision-makers often lack insight and control into how AI tools on the market will guide their clinicians.Ask Avo is much more than a clinical summary aggregating information from often out-of-date and irrelevant sources. It is designed to generate responses from recent content relevant to the institution whose clinicians are using it. The tool's unique design includes a proprietary questioning system triple verification against trusted guidelines, and offers clinician visibility and control, further enhancing its reliability. 
  • In a recent study of Ask Avo, 61 clinicians were asked to question both Ask Avo and ChatGPT 4o with the same 10 clinical prompts that involved questions about complex patient scenarios. After receiving a response, the physicians rated the answers based on trustworthiness, actionability, relevancy, comprehensiveness, and format-friendliness. Ask Avo outperformed ChatGPT 4o on all fronts with an average of 33% better ratings across all criteria and was statistically significantly better. Clinicians' feedback included, “Ask Avo is MUCH better than ChatGPT. I love the citations built directly into the source and the ability to easily pull those citations up on the same tab. I love the "AI Fact-Check" option that makes the limitations clear as well. This is excellent” and “This program cited its sources, which increases my comfort and trust in it tremendously.”
