The Problem
Miscommunication is the silent crisis in healthcare.
Every day, patients walk out of appointments without their concerns fully heard. Not because clinicians don't care, butbecause the system wasn't built for real communication.
of misdiagnoses are caused by breakdowns during the patient-practitioner encounter

median time before a clinician interrupts a patient
Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2018
The result: missed diagnoses, repeat visits, and care gaps that disproportionately affect patientswho are already the most vulnerable.
Root Causes
Three barriers stand between patient and care.
Language
Over 25 million US residents have limited English proficiency. Standard intake forms leave them without a voice and proper care.
Health Literacy
Nearly half of US adults read below a 6th-grade level. Medical language creates invisible barriers that directly affect care quality.
Time
Physicians average 15 to 18 minutes per visit. Without pre-visit context, critical concerns get lost in a rushed intake or never surface at all.
These aren't edge cases. They're everyday reality for millions of patients in every health system across the country.

In Practice
Unreliable chart notes exacerbate errors and miscommunication
Providers hurriedly sift through error-prone patient charts, often with irrelevant data to the patient's presenting concerns.
Electronic health records (EHRs) contain contradictory and disparate patient data filled with specialty-specific acronyms and jargon.
Misclassification of patient's health risks lead to poor outcomes and missed revenue.
The Solution
A bridge between patient experience and clinical insight.
LiteraSeed meets patients where they are, by using guided, picture-based prompts in their preferred language. It transforms their responses into structured clinical summaries delivered directly into the clinician's workflow before the appointment begins.

LiteraSeed correctly reported that the patient had chest pain and was more accurate than the Reason for Visit, which incorrectly stated 'abdominal pain.'
Nurse Practitioner, Family Medicine
Patient diagnosed with chest pain
An app like this would be helpful in the waiting area. It would make sure the doctor already knows why you're here before you even go in.
