Overview

From manual triage bottlenecks to 65% faster patient care

A rapidly growing digital health startup connecting patients with clinicians through virtual consultations across the US, Southeast Asia, and India — with 150+ engineers serving 20+ global clients. Manual symptom screening created long wait times before consultations, overloaded call centers were burdened with repetitive queries, and limited EHR interoperability meant clinical data had to be manually re-entered — delaying care and creating duplicate records.

10decoders implemented an AI-driven automation framework — deploying an AI virtual assistant for intelligent symptom-based triage, building smart forms and decision trees for frictionless onboarding, integrating FHIR-based EHR synchronization, and delivering unified mobile and web platforms. The result: 65% faster triage, 40% higher retention, and 2x clinician efficiency.

The Platform

How we accelerated patient care delivery

AI Triage

AI-Powered Virtual Assistant

Automated symptom-based triage identifies patient priorities faster and reduces clinician load — enabling care teams to focus on complex, high-priority cases that truly need their expertise.

Onboarding

Smart Forms & Decision Trees

Capturing key health data upfront through intelligent forms and decision trees — reducing manual data entry, eliminating onboarding friction, and enabling smoother patient-to-clinician connection.

Interoperability

FHIR-Based EHR Integration

Automatic data synchronization with EHR systems post-triage ensures seamless care continuity — eliminating manual re-entry, preventing duplicate records, and accelerating clinical updates.

Platform

Mobile & Web Delivery

A unified digital experience enabling patients to access consultations anytime, anywhere — across mobile and web with a consistent, accessible interface that reduces barriers to care.

Retention

40% Higher Patient Retention

Streamlined, frictionless onboarding dramatically reduced drop-offs — increasing patient retention by 40% and improving the overall digital health experience from first contact to consultation.

Efficiency

2x Clinician Productivity

AI-based triage filters low-risk patients automatically — allowing clinicians to focus entirely on complex, critical cases and doubling their effective productivity per session.

Challenge & Approach

The Problem, and How We Solved It

A digital health platform bottlenecked at every step — manual triage, overloaded call centers, and EHR systems that couldn't talk to each other.

The Challenge

  • Manual patient screening created long wait times before consultations — leading to significant patient drop-offs, frustration, and missed care opportunities across the platform
  • Support teams were overwhelmed with repetitive, low-value queries — burdening call center operations and slowing the overall healthcare delivery workflow across the platform
  • Clinical data had to be manually re-entered into EHR systems — delaying clinical updates, creating duplicate records, and breaking the continuity of patient care across consultations

Our Approach

  • Deployed an AI-powered virtual assistant for automated symptom-based triage — reducing triage time by 65% and allowing clinicians to focus on patients who need immediate care
  • Built smart forms and decision trees to capture key health data upfront — eliminating manual entry, reducing onboarding friction, and increasing patient retention by 40%
  • Integrated FHIR-based EHR synchronization and delivered unified mobile and web platforms — enabling automatic care continuity and accessible consultations anytime, anywhere
The Approach

The Solution

10decoders implemented an AI-driven automation framework across four workstreams — transforming patient onboarding, clinical workflows, EHR interoperability, and platform delivery.

AI-Powered Virtual Triage Assistant

Automated symptom-based triage identifies patient priorities faster — reducing triage time by 65% and enabling clinicians to focus entirely on high-priority, complex cases.

Smart Forms & Decision Trees

Intelligent health data capture upfront eliminates manual entry and reduces onboarding friction — streamlining the patient journey from first contact to clinician consultation.

FHIR-Based EHR Interoperability

Automatic post-triage data synchronization with EHR systems ensures seamless care continuity — eliminating duplicate records and delayed clinical updates across all consultations.

Unified Mobile & Web Platforms

A consistent digital health experience across mobile and web — enabling patients to access consultations anytime, anywhere, with reduced barriers to care and frictionless navigation.

How It Fits Together

From manual bottlenecks to an intelligent, AI-driven health platform.

AI triage, smart onboarding, FHIR integration, and unified platforms — all converged into one automation-first digital health experience.

Legacy State

Manual Patient Onboarding & Triage

Manual screening, long wait times, overloaded call centers, no EHR interoperability — patient drop-offs and clinician overload at every step.

AI Automation

10decoders AI Automation Framework

AI virtual assistant, smart forms, FHIR EHR sync, decision trees, mobile and web platforms — all deployed as one coordinated automation framework.

Modern Platform

Intelligent Digital Health Platform

65% faster triage, 40% higher retention, 2x clinician efficiency — patients connected faster, clinicians freed for what matters most.
