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.

Contextual understanding

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. Unlike conventional AI consult tools, Ask Avo's EHR integration allows it to consider important patient context without manual data input, ensuring efficiency and accuracy. Ask Avo is currently integrated with Epic via the App Showroom and Athena, with a Cerner and Meditech integration available by the end of 2024.

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the market will guide their clinicians.Ask Avo is much more than a clinical summary aggregating information from often out-of-date and irrelevant sources.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.”

The doctor will see you shortly: Prepared for your visit, thanks to AI

As a practicing physician, I, like many others, can easily become overwhelmed by administrative burden and information overload. Seeing many patients in a matter of minutes, means I have limited time to digest relevant information from the patient chart that could positively impact the way I deliver personalized care. Every day, clinicians search through numerous tabs in the EHR to gather data before seeing patients —reviewing new labs, notes, and telephone encounters. This leaves less time for patient encounters and even less time to research evidence-based care based on unique patient experiences. This discrepancy between best practice and care delivered, coupled with lots of wasted physician time, leads to suboptimal patient outcomes.

A buyer’s guide to conversational AI

Conversational AI is an advanced technology that allows machines to understand, process, and respond to human language in a way that is both contextually relevant and interactive. Within the healthcare sector, this technology is increasingly deployed to automate routine tasks and deliver a more robust and personalized patient experience. Conversational AI leverages a combination of machine learning, natural language processing, and occasionally deep learning to interpret and respond to user inputs, with a conversational user interface that mimics human interaction. Digital health companies deploy conversational AI through chatbots, voice assistants, messaging apps, or any other type of platform where natural language interactions occur.

Conversational AI Elevates the Impact and Value of Digital Tools

Advances in conversational AI virtual assistants deliver tremendous value both to patients and their providers.

The Transformative Potential of Conversational AI

For healthcare providers, conversational AI could have a significant impact on operational efficiency. AI has historically excelled at handling high volume routine tasks that consume significant staff time and resources: appointment scheduling, prescription refills, department and provider routing, for example. Conversational AI will not only improve the performance of handling these tasks but will support healthcare providers in addressing the long tail of use cases that are individually less frequent but in aggregate consume time. By allowing healthcare professionals to focus on more complex and urgent tasks that demand their expertise and experience, adopting conversational AI can also improve job satisfaction as healthcare professionals can devote their time to more meaningful and engaging patient interactions.

Navigating the New Frontier: Protecting Patient Data in Conversational AI and Beyond

With conversational AI involved, legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR still apply, but involve added complexity and dimensions. Within legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR, conversational AI raises new questions about patient privacy and compliance. For instance, can a chatbot be HIPAA-compliant? How do we ensure that the data processed through conversational interfaces receive the same level of security as traditional electronic health records? Legal authorities and legislative bodies are starting to tackle these issues, but healthcare providers must stay ahead of the curve to ethically utilize these tools and ensure legal compliance.
