OrthoCarolina partners with healthPrecision for AI-powered medical care
OrthoCarolina, a leader in orthopedic practices, has entered a strategic partnership with healthPrecision to integrate the Medical Brain AI platform into its expansive network of more than 300 providers across nearly 40 locations in the Southeast. While the financial details remain undisclosed, the partnership marks Medical Brain’s debut in the orthopedic sector and aims to bolster OrthoCarolina’s dedication to value-based care.
What the Partnership Entails
“For decades, OrthoCarolina has been committed to providing patient-first comprehensive care across a wide array of orthopedic specialties, and the integration of Medical Brain into our care continuum will help us to better meet patients’ real-time needs while also accelerating our organizational value-based care goals,” stated OrthoCarolina CEO Dr. Bruce Cohen. The collaboration will leverage the AI capabilities of Medical Brain to provide real-time, patient-centric decision support and care orchestration via a mobile app. The app offers 24/7 personalized clinical guidance to patients and significantly reduces the workload on healthcare providers by continuously monitoring patient conditions.
Medical Brain’s Role in the Partnership
Medical Brain is a proven AI platform designed to offer advanced patient-centric decision support and real-time care orchestration. HealthPrecision’s President and Co-Founder, Sonia Ben Yehuda, elaborated: “We’re honored to partner with OrthoCarolina’s best-in-class physicians, surgeons, and physical therapists to deploy a new model of real-time, 24/7 care for orthopedics. Medical Brain’s proprietary AI technology will help OrthoCarolina providers to streamline patient engagement through high-precision automated clinical follow-up that efficiently identifies emerging health risks and care gaps while minimizing unnecessary provider and staff workload. Better resource utilization will lead to enhanced patient recovery and better outcomes.”
