{"id":85775,"title":"FutureClinic: Healthcare that's 99% AI, 1% doctor.","tagline":"We make it easy for any doctor or hospital to open their own AI-first digital clinic. ","body":"### **TL;DR**\n\n* Most AI healthcare companies have been focusing on administrative tasks (authorizations/ scribing). We’re focusing on the main bottleneck in healthcare - clinical expertise. Our AI thinks like a doctor.\n* It conducts comprehensive medical histories via voice interface, performs medical reasoning, and suggests evidence-based treatments / next steps (99% of the healthcare journey).\n* Doctors can efficiently review text-based summaries on a back-end dashboard in under a minute, and maintain final medical decision-making control (the high value 1%).\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/cUoLpodvLwE?si=fUzpo4LD3y3rzqtT\u003e\n\n---\n\n### **The Problem**\n\n1. **Traditional healthcare delivery is broken, with a fundamental supply/demand mismatch between the need for healthcare, and the number of doctors available to provide it.**\n2. **The US healthcare system is facing a physician crisis**\n   * Projected shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036\n   * 30% of physicians are leaving the field or moving part-time in the next 5 years due to the lack flexibility or burnout.\n   * Patient volumes per physician are exploding, overwhelming doctors' capacity to deliver quality care\n3. **Existing attempts to solve these problems have been step changes, and fail to lessen the burden of care on doctors:**\n   * Traditional Telehealth simply moved the same broken workflows online, amounting to the same workload, if not more (”I think you’re on mute, Mrs. Jones…”)\n   * Asynchronous messaging currently requires a lot of back and forth and hasn’t achieved adoption\n   * Administrative streamlining AI services are great, but don’t tackle the fundamental bottleneck in healthcare which is clinical expertise.\n\n### **The Solution**\n\nFutureClinic is an EHR platform that powers digital medical clinics with sophisticated AI that handles 99% of the work, letting doctors focus purely on medical decision-making.\n\nOur platform:\n\n* Takes comprehensive medical histories through an empathetic voice interface\n* Uses advanced medical reasoning to narrow down diagnoses\n* Provides evidence-based treatment suggestions\n* Presents doctors with concise text-based summaries, with all key findings cited\n* Enables asynchronous care delivery without video/phone calls\n* Built-in safety protocols flag potential contraindications and risks.\n* Closes care gaps for patients with language barriers\n\n---\n\n### **Our Vision**\n\n* Our EHR starts by powering digital medical clinics, but we ultimately power healthcare delivery in brick and mortar clinics and hospitals too.\n\n---\n\n### **About Us**\n\n* 3 out of 4 co-founders are medical doctors as well as software engineers from top institutions (UCL, Imperial College London, Mount Sinai)\n* Combined experience of \u003e10,000 real-world patient encounters, with a deep understanding of physician needs and pain points (and scar tissue to prove it!)\n* In previous roles, we’ve directly helped open \u003e40 real world medical clinics in New York in the last 3 years, and know what it takes to deliver end-to-end care in a legal, compliant, and safe manner.\n* Our President has \u003e300,000 followers on social media, largely doctors and medical students, giving us an unfair advantage for early distribution.\n\n### **Reach out!**\n\n_For Doctors_**:** If you're interested in starting your own digit clinic with complete flexibility and control, visit [**openclinic.com**](http://tryopenclinic.com) to sign up or email [**founders@openclinic.com**](mailto:founders@tryopenclinic.com)\n\n_For Healthcare Organizations_**:** If you're looking to launch a digital clinic or use our system for patient intake, we'd love to discuss how OpenClinic can help.
