Canada-based AI-powered patient intake solutions provider FirstHx is expanding into the US market to enhance efficiency and accuracy in patient data management in the country.
The company’s advanced AI platform is already used in Canada and the Middle East.
The US expansion is expected to significantly improve clinical decision-making and operational efficiency in the US healthcare sector.
FirstHx’s AI-powered patient intake solution allows swift and precise collection of medical histories via patients’ smartphones before they visit medical facilities.
It integrates easily with healthcare providers’ electronic medical records (EMR), providing clinicians with a comprehensive view of a patient’s health status from the outset of care.
FirstHx CEO Chris O’Connor said: “As we bring our innovative solutions to the U.S., our goal is to transform the first point of contact between patients and healthcare systems.
“Our technology not only speeds up the intake process but also elevates the quality of care by ensuring that healthcare providers have accurate and complete patient information from the start.”
FirstHx’s US expansion includes a strategic partnership with Jevan Consulting, a healthcare operations and management consulting firm.
The collaboration aims to facilitate the integration of FirstHx’s solutions into US healthcare settings, ensuring they meet the unique needs of the American healthcare landscape.
In addition to everyday healthcare delivery, FirstHx’s platform is expected to advance clinical trial recruitment.
By automating the screening and matching of patients to trial criteria, FirstHx streamlines the recruitment and significantly reduces costs for hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.
Jevan Consulting CEO and founding partner Lisa Risser said: “We are excited to align with FirstHx as they enter the U.S. market.
“Their leading-edge technology complements our mission to promote innovative solutions that enhance healthcare operations and patient care across the country.”
FirstHx’s AI-powered solutions streamline the medical history-taking process for patients and providers in Canada, the US, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
Within five minutes, the AI-guided smartphone application enables patients to record their medical histories, which are then shared with healthcare teams to inform decisions.
The intelligent platform delivers a faster, more accurate, and efficient clinical workflow, resulting in better outcomes and a convenient patient experience with shorter wait times.
Jevan Consulting partner and senior leader Rob Perez said: “Every day, we see growing excitement from healthcare providers about FirstHx’s transformative technology.
“The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, as providers recognize how this AI-powered patient intake solution is fundamentally changing the dynamics of patient care.”
