  • NEURALITY HEALTH AI: Deep Dive Podcast
    Oct 8 2024

    Take the demo for a spin. It’s set up as a dentistry practice, so you can role-play scheduling an appointment. Challenge the AI by asking tough questions or even making inappropriate statements—things that would test your best staff members. You’ll be amazed by its professionalism, natural voice inflections, and overall performance.

    And there’s more to it than just that.

    In this episode of the Merge Medical Deep Dive Podcast, Drs. Jeff Brown and Jeff Cole speak with Rahul Sharma, co-founder and CEO of Neurality Health.

    Neurality Health AI streamlines the administrative and operational tasks of both the front and back office using human-like voice and text. The AI handles inbound calls, schedules appointments, educates patients, and enhances engagement through recall and reactivation programs. It also verifies insurance benefits, manages payer communications, and has the potential to take on other revenue cycle management (RCM) responsibilities.

    Neurality Health’s onboarding process also includes several proprietary and AI-enhanced processes allowing them to add pilot practices and paying customers quickly and with ease. Their sales are reaching an inflection point where some might even say they are “exploding” to the upside. The company is rapidly expanding from its initial focus on dentistry into multiple medical subspecialties.

    Founded by seasoned health tech entrepreneurs and AI experts, Neurality Health is addressing key pain points faced by clinicians. With a track record of success and a focus on continued innovation, Neurality Health is poised to become the AI operating system of the future for healthcare.

    Investment and strategic partner opportunities:

    Neurality Health quickly closed a $350K pre-seed round largely funded by subject matter experts and customers within their initial target market of dentistry. They have opened an add-on pre-seed round also structured as a Y-Combinator SAFE note at a compelling valuation of $5M. Strategic partners and investors have been identified within several medical specialties such as ENT and orthopedic surgery. This offering is capped at $500K and may be filled by the time of this publication.

  • DocSide: Deep Dive Podcast
    Oct 7 2024

    Here’s the thing about patient care – the caring never stops. Patients and their healthcare providers have questions, and answers just can’t wait. To find these answers, healthcare professionals “run cases by each other”. These casual “curbside” consultations are vital to improve access to specialty expertise.

    Join Drs Jeff Brown and Jeff Cole in the “Deep Dive” version of the Merge Medical podcast as they interview Dr. Richard Popwell, CEO and Founder of DocSide.

    There was a time when a much higher density of physicians would cross paths in the physician’s lounge, surgery lounge or cafeteria of the typical hospital. Curbside consults have always been part of the culture of medicine, but times have changed. A large percentage of physicians and healthcare providers are now working in outpatient clinics and/or outpatient surgery centers. Sub-specialists simply don’t cross paths the way they they did 20 or 30 years ago.

    Curbsides aren’t always so easy. . . From finding the right expert, playing phone tag, interrupting each other’s work and family life. . . What’s meant to save time and effort does anything but…

    So, what if there was a way to simplify collaboration between healthcare professionals and facilitate safe, high quality, and equitable care for any patient, anywhere, anytime?

    Welcome to the DocSide! DocSide is an intuitive mobile and web-based solution that creates more equitable access, reduces costs, and optimizes care by empowering healthcare professionals with seamless curbside collaboration, shared documentation, and revenue generation. DocSide is more than just another healthcare app. It’s a place . . .

    • Where a GP in rural America can consult with specialists in a large, urban medical center.
    • Where patients don’t always have to drive to another appointment to get the care they need.
    • Where curbsides create access and improve care with just the right amount of simple documentation.
    • Where care is customized and outcomes optimized because over 3 million healthcare professionals can better serve 300 million potential patients.
    • Where your time and expertise are rewarded both personally and financially.
    • And, instead of burning out . . . there’s helping out.

    Welcome to the DocSide!

    Where curbsides are more connected.
