Epic Systems introduced two new AI tools aimed at easing communication and reducing administrative work in healthcare.
The tools — named Emmie and Art — are designed for patients and clinicians, respectively, according to an Aug. 19 LinkedIn post from Epic. Emmie is built to help patients interpret test results, receive health guidance, and manage ongoing care between visits. Epic said the assistant draws from patients’ medical records and connected devices to provide information in “easy-to-understand terms” and support open-ended conversations about health.
Art, meanwhile, is designed to help physicians prepare for visits by generating summaries, collecting information from patient interactions with Emmie, and drafting documentation. The assistant can also complete certain administrative tasks, such as verifying prior authorizations and placing orders, according to Epic.
Epic did not disclose when or where the tools would first become available.
