Problem
Patients often feel anxious, uninformed, and intimidated during doctor's visits, struggling to understand their health records, treatment options, and the clinical evidence behind their care. This knowledge gap leads to less productive appointments and hampers shared decision-making between patients and healthcare providers.
Solution
Advokare Health provides an AI-powered platform, Ask AVA, that empowers patients to advocate for their own care. The platform securely aggregates electronic health records from hospitals and doctors across the country via TEFCA, then uses a patent-pending AI engine to review this data against the latest published clinical evidence, identifying what is relevant to each individual. Patients can arrive at appointments prepared with a personalized "back-pocket" guide, understand their treatment options, and ask follow-up questions through the AVA chatbot after their visit. The platform also offers a targeted, closed-loop channel for pharmaceutical companies to engage patients with sponsored content based on real-world clinical data, tracking the journey from content interaction to treatment decisions, all while maintaining a non-SaMD classification and HIPAA-aligned protocols.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual patients in the United States who want to better understand their health records and prepare for doctor visits, as well as pharmaceutical companies seeking a targeted, compliant channel for consumer engagement and outcomes tracking.
