Corti Launches Next-Gen Assistant to Support the 50% of Clinicians Seeking a Second Opinion

  • According to a new YouGov study, 57% of UK healthcare professionals surveyed believe it would be helpful to have an experienced colleague in the room when working with a patient
  • Corti Assistant meets this demand for the first-time, elevating AI assistance to the level of a seasoned colleague.
  • Corti’s “supportive computing” foundation models, built for healthcare, have learned from more than 250,000 daily patient interactions.

Corti, the leading AI research and development company in healthcare, today unveiled live feedback for clinicians, made available through its new platform Corti Assistant. An innovative application that introduces the concept “supportive computing” to clinicians across the UK, US and Europe, Corti Assistant is capable of reasoning from a patient interaction as it happens. Upgrading AI support to the level of a seasoned colleague, the new application provides immediate insights, interactive support and documentation, including notetaking and live written summaries.

Corti Assistant directly addresses the struggles that healthcare providers face today. New data from Corti, based on a survey of just over 500 UK healthcare professionals conducted in collaboration with YouGov, reveals that 57% see significant value in having an experienced colleague present during patient consultations. However, many HCPs who need assistance are unable to receive it due to colleagues being either too busy (55%) or too stressed to provide support (36%). A further 50% think having a second-opinion from another medical professional would be beneficial for their work.

"We're not just creating another dictation tool," said Lars Maaløe, CTO and co-founder at Corti. "Corti Assistant transcends traditional scribing by offering streamable insights while ensuring doctors maintain complete control over patient care, all while getting paperwork done to the highest standard."

Live AI Support to Reduce Medical Errors

In the UK, approximately 6% of patients experience preventable harm during medical care, with 12% of these cases resulting in severe harm or death. Specifically, medication errors are a significant concern, with an estimated 237 million occurring annually - costing the NHS approximately £98.5 million.

“Healthcare is more than the seven-minute trivial visit, it’s the cases you take home with you. Every doctor knows that moment of doubt behind closed doors – when you wish you had someone to turn to, someone to validate your thinking. This isn't about replacing human judgment; it's about ensuring no physician ever has to feel alone in those critical moments of care," says Frederik Brabant, MD, Chief Medical Strategy Officer at Corti.

Built on Corti's established foundation models, already trusted by software vendors, healthcare providers, and payors globally, Corti Assistant provides the following features to enable health systems to help reduce errors, including:

  • Streamable Medical Intelligence: processes, contextualizes and reasons medical conversations as they occur with immediate insights and suggestions.
  • Ambient Documentation: Automatically transcribes, summarizes, and codes interactions with minimal need for edits.
  • Quality Assurance: Identifies gaps in care, ensuring compliance with best practices and guidelines.
  • Interactive Dialogue: Allows clinicians to query the AI for insights or clarification during or after consultations.
  • Customizable Integration: Adapts to individual workflows and integrates seamlessly into existing electronic health record (EHR) systems.
  • Continuous learning: Memorization and suggested improvement based on user feedback

Corti Assistant is now available for trial at assistant.corti.ai. Providers can sign up for a free 14-day trial period with no credit card required.
