# LiteraSeed

> LiteraSeed is a B2B healthcare SaaS platform that helps patients communicate symptoms before clinical visits using guided, picture-based patient intake available in any language and at any literacy level. It delivers structured clinical data and pre-visit history summaries directly into EHR integration workflows before the visit begins.

## What is LiteraSeed?

- **Category**: Pre-visit patient communication and structured clinical data capture for health systems.
- **Problem solved**: Communication failures during intake and history-taking lead to missed symptoms, missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, adverse events, and inequitable care for patients with limited English proficiency or low health literacy.
- **How it works**: Patients complete a mobile web intake (no app download). LiteraSeed structures responses into an EHR-ready summary for clinician review before the encounter.
- **Who it is for**: Health systems, hospitals, clinics, payer organizations, and Medicaid programs that need equitable patient intake and EHR integration.
