COVID-19 exposed deadly problems in the way healthcare is provided and patients access care.
Fear of exposure means more patients now stay home and don’t seek the care they need reducing already razor thin margins, impacting viability and sustainability.
Telemedicine is a solution, but a simple video call does not replace a thorough exam or address systemic issues throughout the patient/provider experience.
Adding Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality to Telemedicine provides a real solution for billing levels, population health documentation and real time patient guidance.
Join us on Wednesday, May 27th at 9:30AM PST for a quick 30-minute webinar as our expert discuss the inefficiencies plaguing their healthcare practices and introduce innovative technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, to improve access, provider efficiency and effectiveness.
A Q & A session will follow the presentation.
The four main topics we’ll cover:
Why profitability and financial sustainability remain elusive for so many providers
Structural bottlenecks that prevent access to diagnosis, care and treatment
Putting the Medicine in Telemedicine
AI triage, Scribe and other efficiencies that improve profitability

Paging Dr. Robot: Artificial intelligence moves into care
The next time you get sick, your care may involve a form of the technology people use to navigate road trips or pick the right vacuum cleaner online. Now, parts of the health system are starting to use it directly with patients. During some clinic and telemedicine appointments, AI-powered software asks patients initial questions about their symptoms that physicians or nurses normally pose.
AdviNOW CEO James Bates said their AI program decides what questions to ask and what information it needs. It passes that information and a suggested diagnosis to a physician who then treats the patient remotely through telemedicine. The company currently uses the technology in a handful of Safeway and Albertsons grocery store clinics in Arizona and Idaho. But it expects to expand to about 1,000 clinics by the end of next year. Eventually, the company wants to have AI diagnose and treat some minor illnesses, Bates said.

AdviNOW Medical, an emerging leader in the AI/AR healthcare space, is pleased to announce they were included in Gartner’s annual “Hype Cycle for Digital Care Delivery Including Virtual Care” release published in July.
The report focuses on how healthcare providers are adjusting strategy and operations in response to business drivers, such as cost optimization, increased consumer expectations, clinical staff shortages and new funding models. For many, the transformation of clinical care is at the heart of a new strategic plan that is enabling a shift from traditional care venues, to digitally enabled clinical services and business models. This shift comes as new market entrants, such as retailers and digital giants, offer a range of digital-first direct-to-consumer health and wellness services.
“We’re excited to see the continued adaptation of our platform across hospitals and clinics all across the country and in several parts of the world. The continued issues like staffing shortages, burnout, and patient satisfaction are a universal problem. We’ve seen that AdviNOW’s product has really helped curb these issues in the clinics and hospitals in which it is utilized,” said AdivNOW CEO James Bates.
Founded in 2016, AdviNOW Medical uses artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) to completely automate the medical patient encounter to eliminate administrative burden at the front desk and enable doctors to work at the top of their license. Both the patient and doctor experiences are augmented with AI and AR to nearly eliminate repetitive tasks and allow the doctor to focus only on the decision of diagnosis, treatment and the patient consult. This automation reduces total provider time-per-patient that increases clinic throughput velocity and reduces patient wait times while maintaining the personal nature of the patient-doctor consult. The AI assures each patient has an exact and personal consistency of care to assure the most appropriate care coordination and optimal outcomes which leads to increased patient satisfaction. AdviNOW fundamentally reduces the cost to run existing clinics and is a common platform to drive point of care to the home. This invention promises to revolutionize healthcare for the entire world so every person has access to affordable care.
Afya Sasa Tanzania has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) based health services at The National Hospital of Tanzania, Muhimbili National Hospital, Mloganzila in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (MNH-Mloganzila).
Afya Sasa Tanzania, a division of Afya Sasa Africa, leverages the power of advanced artificial intelligence provided by Advinow Medical (Phoenix, USA) to assist the clinician in proper diagnosis, testing, and treatment to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of clinicians while providing the patient enhanced access to state-of-the-art care. “We believe Artificial Intelligence and Afya Sasa’s System can bridge the gap in unmet healthcare need in the developing world” notes Sri Perera, Afya Sasa Tanzania President.
James Bates, the CEO of AdviNOW Medical stated, “I am excited to be a part of bringing access to care to the people that need it the most. Artificial intelligence allows us to scale the capability of the clinician both in volume and diagnostic capability at a level that has not been seen in history. Healthcare in Africa can now be close to the developed world.”
MNH-Mloganzila is a 650 bed Zonal Tertiary Care Hospital serving between 350 to 500 outpatient visits per day. With over 64 million people, the country of Tanzania requires the expansion of these specialized care facilities to support the growing population. MNH-Mloganzila is the newest member of the larger Muhimbili National Hospital System (1500 inpatient beds, 1000 outpatient visits per day) which is the flagship hospital system of the Tanzanian government. Their mission is not only to provide effective, efficient, and high-quality tertiary specialists for the population of Tanzania, but to also lead the localization of medicine and training and research. The vision is to develop into a centre of excellence for highly specialized services in medicine, medical training, and research. We share the President of Tanzania Samia Hassan’s goal to advance healthcare in Tanzania. “His [Samia Hassan] massive investment in Tanzania’s health sector is aimed at enhancing availability of specialized services and strengthening the country’s position as a healthcare hub for medical tourism”.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) powered automation collects information from the patient, places required orders, as well as scribes the encounter. The clinics that use AdviNOW reduce provider time per patient, improve outcomes and increase patient satisfaction while maintaining personal provider – patient interaction. This technology will help level the standard of care across the world.
In this episode James Bates, the CEO of AdviNOW Medical, shares his personal journey from his early ambitions as an electrical engineer with a dream of inventing to his current role leading a healthcare-focused startup in Scottsdale, Arizona.
James candidly reflects on the challenges he faced and the value of diving into unknown territories. He emphasizes the importance of fundamental knowledge and problem-solving skills acquired through his electrical engineering background, which allowed him to adapt to different professional settings and challenges. He recounts a particularly challenging period of establishing a new business entity in Japan which demanded an intense work schedule and multifaceted thinking.
Throughout the conversation, James repeatedly underscores the importance of understanding fundamentals, whether in engineering, business, or AI. This understanding, he insists, equips one to be successful in any role or situation.

Phoenix, AZ July 28, 2022 – AdviNOW Medical, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence driven Digital Clinical Encounter solutions, announced that it has been identified as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Digital Care Delivery Including Virtual Care, 2022. AdviNOW Medical was named in the Digital Clinical Encounters category.” [1]
AdviNOW Medical removes friction points between the patient, clinic, payer and
provider. Artificial intelligence (AI) scribing is used to reduce the administrative burden of the provider and free them from the burdens of data collection and EHR documentation. The AdviNOW System includes the Digital Front Door, Provider Scribe,
Coding Assist, Remote Patient Monitoring and Follow-up. The common platform is used for all types of visits (in-person or virtually by video or async messaging) with the patient.
“AdviNOW is the only company that eliminates the administrative burden of the encounter clinically. We are delighted that Gartner recognized AdviNOW Medical as a Sample Vendor in this Hype Cycle for Digital Care Delivery Including Virtual Care,” said James Bates, Chief Executive Office and Founder of AdviNOW Medical. “We believe this is a testament to our ability to be the first automated healthcare platform with a complete patient-provider end to end solution.”
According to Gartner, “Digital clinical encounters are semiautomated patient interactions that include the use of clinical protocols, algorithms, and artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate history taking, triage, diagnosis, prescribing and documentation. The encounter leverages the latest evidence-based clinical knowledge to reduce clinicians’ direct involvement prior to their review of the captured and analyzed content for clinical oversight and action.”
Clinics that use AdviNOW nearly double patient throughput while increasing patient satisfaction and provider burnout declines. We are excited to continue to lead the vision of the healthcare revolution.
In addition, Gartner states that “Epidemiological factors (such as an aging population and increasing burden of chronic disease), coupled with clinician shortages and burnout, have made access to primary and specialist care a major challenge currently facing the healthcare industry. Digital clinical encounters help address these issues by improving clinician efficiency through the automation of certain steps in the care delivery process.”
