CardioWell

We worked on CardioWell during the hackathon to create a new workflow for midsized physician practices. Specifically, cardiologists running their practice are losing valuable time to administrative work. Between reviewing fragmented records, documenting patient interactions, and managing follow-ups, the core of the physician-patient relationship often takes a back seat. We wanted to design something that could quietly step in and handle those repetitive, time-consuming tasks so they can focus on patient care.

Our system helps physicians extract key information from medical records, whether they're scanned documents, handwritten notes, or structured PDFs. During consultations, CardioWell can record conversations between doctor and patient and generate real-time transcripts. After the visit, clinicians can use a smart assistant to produce summaries, follow-up notes, and care plans tailored to the patient’s condition and history. Everything is designed to reduce the burden of documentation while making sure nothing critical gets missed.

The development process came with its share of complexity as we dealt with inconsistent data formats, taught our language model to handle clinical nuance, and scrapped features that didn't scale. We tried to implement a system where QR codes at the end of a visit could be scanned by the patient to receive a summary from the transcript of the conversation to no avail.

Some integrations proved more difficult than expected, and aligning automation with clinical language required a lot of fine-tuning. But the process pushed us to think critically about what actually helps in a clinical setting -- and how small, well-placed tools can meaningfully reduce friction in the day-to-day work of care. Next we would like to make this a real product for clinicians and managers to use in their respective healthcare facilities.
