What are integration points between Echo-Health and Medtech, and Are Patient Details Sent to AI?
Echo-Health.ai integrates seamlessly with Medtech by pulling in patient context (e.g. medications, problems, allergies) and provider details directly from Medtech. These are not sent to the AI. Instead, the AI processes only de-identified clinical content. Final documents and notes are then populated with the correct patient and provider information before being written back into Medtech’s Daily Record and Outbox, ensuring security, compliance, and efficiency.
🔗 How Does Echo-Health.ai Integrate with Medtech, and Are Patient Details Sent to AI?
🧩 Integration Points with Medtech
Echo-Health.ai integrates securely with Medtech via API and FHIR endpoints, enabling a streamlined clinical workflow. Key integration points include:
| Integration Point | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Daily Record | Echo-Health.ai-generated notes (e.g., SOAP, SO, APSO) are written directly to the Daily Record. |
| Outbox (Communications) | Summaries, referral letters, and care plans are pushed to Medtech’s Outbox for clinician review and dispatch. |
| Patient Context Retrieval | Clinical context — such as problems, screenings, immunisations, medications, allergies, and past notes — is retrieved from Medtech to inform prompts or generate complete templates. |
| Provider Information Retrieval | Echo retrieves provider details (name, ID, title) to populate templates, avoiding manual duplication. |
🔐 Is Patient or Provider Information Passed to AI?
No. Echo-Health.ai does not pass patient names, NHI numbers, or provider identifiers to the AI.
Our system is designed with privacy by default:
-
🔄 Clinical content (e.g. the transcript or note) is processed by AI without identifying fields.
-
👩⚕️ Patient context — such as current medications, allergies, or active problems — is retrieved from Medtech, not inferred by AI.
-
📄 Final documents are assembled after AI processing, using Medtech data and clinician-approved text.
-
✅ All content is reviewed and approved before being saved into the Daily Record or Outbox.
🧠 Why This Matters
Echo-Health.ai is built to work with your existing practice system — not around it.
-
🔒 Privacy-Preserving: De-identification is core. Only clinical text is processed by AI.
-
🎯 Context-Aware: Notes and documents are richer and safer when they incorporate real-time clinical context from Medtech.
-
🧑⚕️ Less Admin: Clinicians don’t need to copy/paste — Echo assembles everything based on structured data and templates.
-
🧾 Documentation Accuracy: Structured data ensures prescriptions, immunisation history, and chronic disease context are up-to-date.
-
🇦🇺🇳🇿 Local Compliance: Aligned with Australian and New Zealand standards for health record integrity and privacy.
