Corti's AI assistant covers a range of areas, including patient interaction triaging, documentation, analysis, second opinions, and note-taking for improvement and training purposes. The company has built its own models and components, and has not brought on medical experts in-house to avoid potential bias. Despite initial pushback about job replacement and accuracy concerns, Corti's platform has gained acceptance and is now used by emergency services in Seattle, Boston, and Sweden, as well as numerous hospitals and other medical services.
