Are you spending all of your time reading unnecessary medical documents? Yea, we didn’t think so. But many people are.

At Brighterway, we use AI to speed up the record review process for physicians in medical legal exams. Physicians typically spend significant time reviewing thousands of pages of medical documents– our technology highlights the 10-15% of content that is most relevant, streamlining their review process and saving them time.

💥💥⚠️ THE PROBLEM ⚠️💥💥

When someone is injured on the job, in an auto accident, etc., they may file a claim for compensation or disability benefits. In such cases, a physician is often appointed to conduct an Independent Medical Examination (IME) or, in certain jurisdictions, a Qualified Medical Examination (QME) to provide an objective assessment of the worker’s condition.

To make an informed evaluation, the examining physician must review the injured worker's medical records. These records can be extensive—often comprising thousands of pages (we’ve seen as high as 45,000 pages for one patient!). However, not all of this information is directly relevant to the physician’s specialty or to the questions of the claim, so they spend hours sifting through the records to identify the most pertinent information.

⭐️⭐️ THE SOLUTION ⭐️⭐️

Brighterway’s system structures and deduplicates disorganized medical records (PDFs) and breaks them down to content related to a doctor’s specific specialty. So, physicians can see what is most meaningful for them without having to sift through thousands of pages of unimportant text. This saves physicians hours each day. Summaries are created and can be viewed side by side with the original records, so physicians can edit and type directly within the outputs (like a Google Doc) so they don’t have to leave the page when writing notes or a report.
