How AskMedi Works for Patients

A simple three-step process that helps patients ask questions, understand their care, and take the right next step with confidence.
1
Ask
Patients send a question, concern, photo, or voice note through their own favourite messaging platform - nothing to download, nothing to learn.
Understand
AskMedi explains what the information means, highlights the next steps, and prepares anything that needs a clinician’s review in a clear, structured summary.
2
3
Act
Patients follow the guidance, set reminders, or wait for clinician follow-up when required - staying on track with their care without adding extra workload to the clinic.

How AskMedi Works Technically

Hybrid AI orchestration for safer patient communication

Health Literacy

Makes health information easier to understand by translating complex medical terms into clear, simple language. It helps patients feel more confident, informed, and prepared to take the right next step in their care journey.
  • Simplifies complex terms
  • Improves patient understanding
  • Supports better decisions

Multilingual Support

Supports communication across multiple languages so patients can access care in the language they understand best. This helps reduce confusion, build trust, and create a more inclusive healthcare experience for diverse users.
  • Local-language conversations
  • Reduces language barriers
  • Supports diverse patients

Voice & Text

Allows users to interact through both voice and text, making healthcare support easier to access in different situations. Patients can speak or type naturally depending on what feels faster, more comfortable, or more accessible.
  • Voice-based assistance
  • Text chat support
  • Accessible for all users

Clinical Guidance

Delivers safe, evidence-informed guidance to help users understand symptoms, health questions, and possible next steps. It supports better decision-making with clear, practical information while staying aligned with clinical best practices.
  • Symptom-based support
  • Trusted clinical information
  • Clear next-step advice

Human Escalation

Transfers the conversation to a human professional when a case is complex, sensitive, or needs direct clinical attention. This ensures patients receive the right level of support when AI alone is not enough.
  • Escalates complex cases
  • Supports urgent concerns
  • Keeps care human-led

Care Navigation

Helps patients find the right service, specialist, or care pathway based on their needs and situation. It reduces uncertainty and makes it easier for users to move smoothly through the healthcare journey.
  • Finds suitable services
  • Reduces confusion
  • Improves care access

EHR/PKB Integration

Connects with electronic health records and personal knowledge bases to bring relevant patient context into conversations. This supports more personalized assistance, better continuity, and more efficient care delivery.
  • Uses patient context
  • Connects health data
  • Supports continuity of care

Governance & Audit

Provides oversight, traceability, and accountability for AI interactions across the service. Audit-ready records and governance controls help teams manage safety, compliance, and ongoing quality improvement.
  • Tracks AI decisions
  • Supports compliance
  • Improves safety oversight
