An AI tool, which claims to reduce admin time by 80%, is to be made available to 40,000 frontline workers across 76 NHS trusts this year thanks to a partnership between Corti and BigHand.

Corti, which was built exclusively for healthcare, augments patient consultations in real time. Its technology handles a significant proportion of non-clinical tasks, quality assures, journals, codes, nudges, prompts, and documents every patient interaction - reducing the margin for error by up to 40% and freeing up healthcare professionals to focus more on patients and less on paperwork.

BigHand - which provides solutions that help busy medical professionals accelerate patient correspondence, reduce clinical admin, and ease budget pressures - will be making Corti's full-suite of cutting edge AI technology available to 76 of its partnered NHS Trusts.

The collaboration will mean the Corti tech is easy to deploy to all existing BigHand clients as well as potential new customers. Corti has been built to be easily implemented into every BigHand workflow. Additionally, BigHand is being enabled to offer the UK market an ‘off the shelf' version or be implemented into existing BigHand software. Corti can be used by doctors, nurses, care coordinators and any other healthcare worker interacting directly with patients under pressure.

Florian Schwiecker, chief partnerships officer at Corti, said: ‘We are confident that our collaboration will have a profound impact on thousands of healthcare professionals and their patients, right at the time they need it most.'

Steve Russell, managing director of Healthcare to BigHand, added: ‘When Corti approached us about this partnership and we saw how powerful the technology was, we were very excited. Our streamlined workflows have already been helping so many trusts but with this advanced AI technology, we can accelerate this further.'
