Two California companies are working together to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to electronic medical records (EMRs).

Optimis Services, a provider of rehabilitative electronic medical record systems in the physical therapy healthcare space, says its next EMR system will be produced in in partnership with Synergetics.ai.

“We are excited to announce the launch of our new OptimisPT-AI EMR technology,” said Carlos Garcia-Cuesta, Optimis (optimispt.com) executive vice president. “This marks a new era in electronic medical record systems as it leverages Agentic AI technology. This is an inflection point in healthcare that will significantly improve the efficiency and quality of data capture throughout physical therapy centres by 100% to 200%.”

He said leveraging AI would reduce the burden of clinical documentation, thereby freeing clinicians to provide more hands-on care with the patients they serve.

Raghu Bala, CEO of Synergetics (synergetics.ai), added: “The EMR space is a great candidate for the use of Agentic AI technology. Synergetics’ Synergy platform is based on the concept of Agentic AI workflows, which are fast becoming the architecture employed in tackling complex AI applications. We essentially see the healthcare space soon becoming an area that would be served by hundreds of AI agents specialising in different medical disciplines, specialties and treatments.”

Through this partnership with Synergetics.ai, Optimis plans to improve the quality of care in the physical therapy sector through its deployment of dozens of physical therapy AI agents, which will eventually be available to other electronic medical records.

OptimisPT-AI will be unveiled at the APTA Private Practice Section Annual Conference (aptappsannualconference2024.eventscribe.net) being held in National Harbor, Maryland, from October 9 to 12, 2024.
