What You Should Know: 

– Avo, a provider of healthcare AI solutions, announces the launch of Ask Avo, a first-of-its-kind, customizable AI consult tool that seamlessly integrates into Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. 

– Ask Avo harnesses patient data, institutional protocols, and updated medical guidelines to deliver trustworthy and relevant responses to complex clinical questions.

Empowering Clinicians with Actionable AI

Ask Avo functions as a “digital front door” for clinicians, enabling them to navigate their EHR efficiently. Clinicians can ask for a patient chart summary before a visit, a care gaps analysis, an ambient note, or even place an order, all through a single interface. This unique combination of clinical decision support and real-time actions empowers providers and improves patient outcomes.

Addressing Challenges in Healthcare AI Adoption

While AI has tremendous potential in healthcare, its adoption has been hindered by:

  • Lack of EHR integration and actionability: Standalone tools can be challenging to deploy and adopt.
  • One-size-fits-all approaches: Existing solutions often lack customization and critical hospital-specific guidelines.
  • Untrustworthy and opaque results: Many AI tools are prone to hallucinations and incorrect or irrelevant source citations.

How Ask Avo is Different

  • EHR Integration: Ask Avo seamlessly integrates with major EHR systems like Epic and Athena, leveraging nationwide patient data and local guidelines to provide relevant and trustworthy responses.
  • Customizable and Actionable: Healthcare systems can tailor Ask Avo to their specific needs and guidelines using Avo’s customizable Builder platform. Clinicians can easily integrate responses into their workflows for pre-charting, documentation, and ordering.
  • Trustworthy and Transparent: Ask Avo generates responses from recent, relevant content and features a triple verification system to ensure accuracy. Clinicians have full visibility into source citations and can even access an “AI Fact-Check” to identify potential clinical gaps.

Study Results

A recent study comparing Ask Avo to ChatGPT 4o demonstrated Ask Avo’s superior performance. Clinicians rated Ask Avo significantly higher across trustworthiness, actionability, relevancy, comprehensiveness, and format-friendliness.“AI technology can be an amazing asset for clinicians and health systems, but only if done thoughtfully. The Avo team studied the current AI consult tools market and saw a major gap between what the current technology offers and what practitioners actually want,” said Yair Saperstein, MD MPH, co-founder and CEO of Avo.  “Ask Avo was inspired by the ethos of our entire Avo platform – to build tools that clinicians love. With EHR integration, a fully customizable and easy-to-deploy model, and a relentless focus on relevance, actionability, and trustworthiness, Ask Avo is the AI tool clinicians and health systems need.”
