CHANDLER, Ariz — (BUSINESS WIRE) — The Arizona Bioindustry Association (AZBio) today announced that AdviNow Medical has won a 2018 AZBio Fast Lane Award for its rapid progression from concept to exciting product launch. The AdviNow Medical team will be honored by Arizona’s bioscience and business communities at the 2018 AZBio Awards on October 3, 2018 at the Phoenix Convention Center.
Transforming the Healthcare Experience
Today’s healthcare experience is too often defined by high costs, inefficiency, and long wait times—all of which can limit access to care. AdviNow Medical’s do-it-yourself kiosk seeks to transform the patient/provider encounter through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR).
Using AdviNow Medical’s unique tool, patients are guided through self-administered steps to collect data such as weight, temperature, blood pressure, and blood oxygen, as well as ear, nose and throat images, and chest, lung and abdomen sounds. Follow-up questions are asked until all the information necessary for a clinical differential diagnosis is acquired. The total process typically takes less than 15 minutes. A complete patient work-up is sent to the provider with a breakdown of predicted illnesses and treatment options—giving them key details that enhance the patient visit. Every detail of the encounter is auto-charted and scribed into the electronic medical record, saving the provider valuable time. The AI also sends the medication and/or procedure orders to the appropriate healthcare partner and completes the billing process.
AdviNow Medical CEO and Founder James Bates.
“We believe our product can help solve the persistent problem of access to care, by making the patient/provider visit more efficient, allowing more patients to be seen in a day,” says AdviNow Medical CEO and Founder James Bates. “Our tool will also help with accuracy and data collection, which impacts profits and value-based health outcomes.”
The kiosk is currently being used in urgent care centers and primary care clinics in Arizona, with a national launch planned for this fall in retail store-based clinics. AdviNow Medical also has secured partnerships with GlobalMed and Valley Perinatal Services, who will soon begin using the AdviNow tool.
AdviNow Medical’s exciting story is featured in recent editions of Forbes; Healthcare Tech Outlook, where it was named one of the top 10 artificial intelligence solution providers; Silicon Review, where it was named one of the 30 most reputable companies of 2018); and several other publications. They have also won the award for Outstanding Achievement in Healthcare Delivery from the 2018 Healthcare Leadership Awards, which is sponsored by AZ Big Media.
For its rapid progression from concept to exciting product launch, AdviNow Medical is being honored with the 2018 AZBio Fast Lane Award.
The AZBio Fast Lane is awarded on a competitive basis to the select few companies that have achieved outstanding milestones in the past 18 months. Significant progress can be measured by clinical results, regulatory approvals, certifications, collaborations, funding awards, product launches, job growth or product sales milestones.
