Emergency physicians make life-changing decisions in minutes using only what is in front of them. The months of patient history that would change everything are not in the room.
The vast majority of a patient's life events, symptoms, and behaviors outside of clinical visits remain unknown.
AI solutions have traditionally optimized for short, episodic encounters, missing the broader context.
■ ~30 min/year captured by AI ■ 5,000+ hours uncaptured — Every square represents a week of a patient's life. Only a handful of moments ever reach the clinical record.

Skin, joints, heart. Every doctor, primary care and ER, had ten or fifteen minutes and one fragment. Two years of symptoms and fear before one physician spent two hours with her and found lupus. Shortly after, another physician told her she had seven years to live.
– AMMAR AHMED, DO · FOUNDER AND CEO
I have been on both sides of this: as her son, and as the physician with ten minutes and a chart scattered across systems. Not the doctors' fault. Structural. Every one of her physicians was good. None had time to know her. We make life-changing decisions under intense time and cognitive constraints, from a summary the patient gives in ten minutes of a story that took years.
Every one of her physicians was good. None had time to know her. The problem is not intelligence or compassion - it is a system that gives physicians fragments and calls it care.
Patients suffer for years before care is optimized, if ever, and start to believe their doctors are not listening. It was never an intelligence problem.
An AI that serves only the physician or only the patient leaves the puzzle unsolved. Connecting the two sides is the entire premise, and it is my life's work.
Resolving uncertainty improves throughput, & clinical accuracy
Patient: Walter Reyes, 78 - EMS arrival, short of breath for three days.
HF moved from #5 to #1 immediately
Diagnosis at hour one vs. hour five
Five hours of ED stay avoided
Lab results validated Aurevia's prediction
Frontier models have little training data on what happens inside a clinical workflow. Ours grows with every deployment, and every deployment makes the next case better.
Explains the case - The months between visits: symptoms, medications, outside records, voice, images, wearable data, in the patient's own words, with timestamps. In no EHR. In no training corpus.
Explains the decision - Step-by-step records of how expert physicians work a case: what they notice first, what they rule out and why, when they judge it safe to act. Accumulate in real clinical workflows
Explains what the decision caused - A clinical action linked to what the patient reports on day four and what lands in the record after. Closes the discharge gap. Monitors post-discharge trajectory. Catches drift and harm early. Labels the decision with what followed.
Explains how to deliver the next insight - What physicians open, adopt, and set aside on shift, and how the interface is shaped by it. Adoption data no model holds. It trains the silence filter. The experiment is already run.
Five stages. One continuous loop. Every outcome compounds the model.

"The clinical uncertainty lives in the lost information of patients' daily lives. Labs, vitals, imaging, and what the physician says arrive the same way. Aurevia weighs each new event as it lands and shows the physician only what changes the next decision - so the sorting and the judgment on what matters happen before the physician ever sees it.

SET UP BY A QR CODE ON THE DISCHARGE PAPERS. CONNECT WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, ONCE.
Ingests text, voice, photos, wearables, CGM, cuffs and scales, outside records, pharmacy fills. One consent; information flows. It summarizes, filters and organizes, so the physician sees the few facts that changed the picture, never a raw stream.
Always, and especially after discharge, watching for improvement or decline in the same streams the record ingests. It steps in when a number moves: weight up two kilos in three days, did anything change, did you miss a pill? One question, answered by voice. Silent otherwise.
Helps the patient through the clinical uncertainty and anxiety between visits: what do I do about my pain in the procedure site, should I go to urgent care today, the PCP this week, or stay home and watch. The patient stops second-guessing.
Identifies and engages the right people and does the work: finds the relevant caregiver or doctor, books the appointment, updates prescriptions, coordinates care across them, and flags insurance gaps before they become a bill.
The PCP or specialist sees it inside their own workflow, is aware, and can ask a question back. Both sides work from the full clinical picture and know the next step.

(3,100 IPPS hospitals, where the DRG mechanism is proven today)
(All four systems converted at $750K; then enterprise rollout across their 27 EDs, ~$20M, in 24 to 30 months)
Until now, between-visit data was a raw dump no physician had time to read, so it was never captured.
everyone utilizes the same models, including our competitors. Model capability is no longer a differentiator, gaps close with each new release.
and the months between visits which are missing from the chart.
The 5,000 waking hours a year are still uncaptured. Capturing context has value and most of that context is missed.
It cannot bundle data it does not own and doing so is not zero marginal cost to CIO. Capture the market and distribution before EPIC notices.
Downstream tools claim what the chart already proves. Most buried comorbidities never get that proof, so the capture is lost before coding begins. We create the proof at arrival. Proactive care offers doctor feedback that leads to downstream DRG upgrades.

Severity value: $0.3M to $1.6M per 50,000 visits, one of three pools. | Buyer: CFO signs, CMO approves, ED chair champions.
Per 50,000 ED visits per year. Modeled from published inputs, every assumption labeled. The study sites replace these with measured results.
Total value: $2.4M–$4.4M vs. subscription cost of $0.25M–$0.75M per 50,000 ED visits annually.
~190,000 visits → $9.1M to $16.7M
~96,000 visits → $4.6M to $8.4M
~80,000 visits → $3.8M to $7.0M
~75,000 visits est. → $3.6M to $6.6M
All four systems converted at $750K each in 12–15 months
Enterprise rollout across all sites in 24–30 months
Full rollout revenue potential at contract maturity
ED chairs experience the pain point first hand - re-admissions and poor throughput. Aurevia enters through a trusted champion.
A signed evaluative pilot produces measured results: throughput, severity capture, burnout scores.
The hospital's own data closes the deal. Subscription converts at contract maturity, ~12–15 months post-pilot start. Those sites lead to enterprise roll-outs
Peer-reviewed outcomes from Site 1 become the fast sales cycle at Sites 2–N. The flywheel compounds with each published result.

"I love that one. I think that's a real win. I've never even heard Epic talk about that sort of stuff. I feel like you could become a real market mover in that space without Epic even realizing it, and then have enough market share that it won't necessarily be easy for Epic to catch up. I resonate with 3 of the MOATs."
— Rohit Sangal, MD, MBA · Yale EM · Chair, ACEP AI Section

Epic owns the record but not the between-visit gap. Clinicians inside Epic still lack structured patient-reported context from the days before arrival. Aurevia fills that gap without replacing Epic - it feeds directly into the workflow Epic already governs.
These tools act on imaging and clinical signals already in the EHR. They cannot capture what the patient experienced between visits. Aurevia is additive - not competitive - to imaging AI. It surfaces the patient narrative that no imaging result can provide.
Ambient scribes reduce documentation burden after the encounter begins. Aurevia solves the upstream problem: what does the clinician need to know before the conversation starts? Different moment, different value, no overlap.
These platforms aggregate patient data for longitudinal chronic care management - but their output is not surfaced at the ED. Aurevia is purpose-built for the emergency context: urgent, time-compressed, and acting on incomplete information. No existing platform delivers this at the point of care. A different business model and a different buyer.

This round funds the move from validated product to outcome-linked deployment. Everything so far, the platform, the Yale and UCSF agreements, the peer-reviewed result, the council, was built without outside capital, so the $1.5M goes to creating our first commercial deployments to the tune of 3M ARR.
The defining asset in clinical AI will be generated in workflow: the decisions, outcomes, and patient context that do not exist in any training corpus.
