Questions
What does TESSA do in annual health review?
Yearly reviews run out of time before the patient's own questions. TESSA takes the review questions before the visit, so the doctor starts with a summary and spends the time on what the patient wants to discuss. It does this through information gathering, summarisation.
Does TESSA diagnose the patient?
No, TESSA never gives a patient a diagnosis. It collects and collates the information the patient provides, asks probing questions and performs risk assessment; a clinician reviews the summary and decides, and no diagnosis, summary or management plan reaches the patient until the clinician signs.
What happens if the patient mentions a warning sign?
Warning or worrying signs that require immediate attention or action go straight to the care team without alarming the patient. For time-critical presentations, TESSA supports the clinician only and is not currently intended for patient use.
How is patient information protected?
The patient surface runs on session codes, not names, and each institution's data is kept apart with a full audit trail. Our own Anonesia by TINYHealth is a proprietary software and code that removes PIIs, e.g. names, ID numbers and contact details from text before it reaches an AI model.
How do we start with this use case?
