Lifecom has developed an entirely new form of artificial intelligence technology to provide knowledge, quality assurance and safety for medical practitioners of all skill levels at the point of care.

The Pain
Physicians and other medical practitioners spend too much time on administration and not enough time on patient care. Clinicians' time is poorly spent and patients' health is put at risk.
The Lifecom Solution Addresses The Healthcare Problem

The Solution
The Lifecom System brings the best available medical knowledge and judgment directly to the point of care.  The medical practitioner uses an intuitive interface, designed to integrate directly with familiar workflow.  The System “thinks” the way a medical practitioner thinks. Unlike existing EHRs, the Lifecom System allows the clinician to establish his or her work flow at any moment in time. Patient information may be entered in any order or sequence, including past medical and medication history, current complaint, symptoms, physical examination findings, laboratory and radiology results. The built-in artificial intelligence provides diagnostic possibilities and poses the relevant and vital questions needed to complete the clinical picture.  The entire “reasoning” process, including those diagnoses that were ruled out, is automatically documented.  Continuity of care is critical to medicine and the Lifecom System provides it by considering every detail of the patient’s stored history , “aging” every symptom, lab value, past medication and procedure with respect to every possible diagnosis.  No detail is missed, either with respect to the patient’s past and current medical record or with respect to the body of medical knowledge that is built into the System and updated on a regular basis.  The clinician can ask the System why a particular diagnosis was considered or not.  Alternatively, the physician can enter a presumed diagnosis and the System generates an automatic “second opinion.” At the completion of a patient encounter, the System generates a complete narrative of the encounter, eliminating physician time and transcription costs, and outputs complete billing codes that will withstand a detailed audit.

Lifecom is revolutionizing medical informatics.

Lifecom is the first portable medical software system built from the ground up to focus on the most important aspect of medical care – clinical cognition. It is the only system that anticipates error reduction mandates for which every medical practitioner is accountable. It is the only system that captures and processes patients' history, medications, symptoms, exam findings, laboratory results, vital signs, and imaging with artificial intelligence. Unlike Electronic Health Record (EHR) products, Lifecom's software does far more than store data. It tracks, processes and automatically presents all relevant clinical considerations to your doctor, nurse practitioner, physician's assistant, nurse, or medical assistant at the exact moment that the knowledge can do the most good.

At the point of care, users of the Lifecom System see a unique user interface that redefines the interaction between a medical practitioner and clinical data management, Images of skin conditions, animations of visual auras, skeletal images that include every bone and other intuitive screens are accessed with the stroke of a stylus on a tablet PC. Data and free text notes are entered as if writing on paper, and “electronic ink” is saved in the record for both legal and data entry verification purposes. The system adapts to the workflow of each medical practitioner and does not require that information be entered in any particular sequence.

As information is entered (e.g. past medical history, medications, chief complaint, physical exam observations, laboratory test values, radiology imaging interpretations, etc.), the artificial intelligence embodied in Lifecom's Adaptive Knowledge Engine in conjunction with the Lifecom Knowledge Warehouse makes clinical recommendations and generates the questions needed to resolve the diagnosis and insure patient safety. Lifecom’s artificial intelligence technology is unique in that both qualitative and quantitative analysis is performed. The System utilizes more than current patient data. “Aged” lifetime medical history down to the most detailed symptom or observation is also considered. Patterns of illness that can only be gleaned from observations over time, often from seemingly unrelated variables, are identified.

Lifecom is the first medical software system built from the ground up to focus on clinical cognition. Lifecom is unique in providing a solution that combines diagnostic reasoning with the health record. The Lifecom System generates a comprehensive differential diagnosis, identifies missing information and asks the questions needed to make an accurate final diagnosis.

Lifecom improves the accuracy and timeliness of medical diagnosis while reducing the cost of health care, improving quality, improving safety and reducing liability exposure. Lifecom has developed a graphic rich electronic medical diagnosis and record system powered by proprietary artificial intelligence technology, software tools to capture medical knowledge and a standardized clinical lexicon. The System improves the productivity of physician extenders, automates the creation of patient encounter documentation and provides accurate, auditable billing coding.
