The Californer - Pythagoras AI Announces Selection by ChenMed for Value-Based Care Conversational AI Agent Use

Trending...

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Pythagoras AI today announced that ChenMed, a national leader in value-based primary care for seniors, has chosen Pythagoras AI's Clara, the conversational-AI agent built for healthcare, to power targeted use cases for patient assessments and clinical data collection across its markets. The partnership aims to increase care-team capacity, close screening gaps, and expand the organization's ability to proactively identify patients in need of more robust care plans.

ChenMed compared Clara against staff-delivered assessments and clinical data collection. Clara consistently collected more complete and clinically relevant information and delivered faster, more scalable outreach than manual workflows, leading to opportunities to improve care delivery and operational efficiency. Clara was able to achieve all of this while maintaining exceptionally high patient satisfaction.

ChenMed's Perspective on Selecting Pythagoras AI

"At ChenMed we pride ourselves on our remarkable outcomes driven by deep and trusting relationships between patient and provider. Therefore, we prioritized starting our journey of using conversational AI for patient engagement with a team that would be a valuable thought partner, trustworthy, agile, and secure, all while honoring our patients and clinicians. Pythagoras AI has delivered on just that, and we look forward to exploring other use cases for Clara."

Elevating Accuracy and Expanding Scale in Patient Engagement Outside the Exam Room

"We built Pythagoras AI because we understand that the main limitation in quality healthcare is time. Healthcare teams are constantly asked to do more, faster, and it's difficult to maintain quality in that context. To that end, Clara seamlessly handles patient interactions outside the exam room in order to make patient face-to-face time with clinicians as valuable as possible."
— Alexandra Stieglitz, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Pythagoras AI

Clara supports healthcare teams by managing pre-visit intake and triage, population health-related outreach and assessments, care coordination and transitions, and patient engagement and education. Leveraging a proprietary multi-layered conversational intelligence engine with adaptive reasoning and clinical signal extract, Pythagoras AI is able to demonstrate better results than traditional approaches while being cost-effective and scalable.

In comparative testing with ChenMed:
