Anestheffi Optima: Prototyping the use of a Digital Assistant to Improve Pre-Anesthesia Clinic Efficiency and Experience for the Obstetrical Population

At the heart of academic hospitals, we’re on a mission to transform the Pre-Anesthesia Clinic setting. Our focus is to enhance workflow efficiency to lift the burden from Anesthesiologists and amplify patient satisfaction. We’re not just reimagining; we’re revolutionizing.

We propose integrating “Patient Empowerment Resources” through a Large Language Model tailored and designed for this specific purpose. By uniquely delivering easily accessible resources through a Digital Assistant in the PAC, we aim to enhance the patient experience and reduce the workload of healthcare professionals.
