Our work includes end-to-end AI treatment management systems that handle complete care pathways - from initial assessment through intervention selection and progress monitoring across various therapeutic domains. We are also building Phoenix, an AI Care Specialist that engages in ongoing dialogue with patients and provides clinical guidance throughout their recovery journey. This work spans the full AI stack: prompt engineering, RAG implementations, model fine-tuning, and agentic workflows. We leverage both generative AI and classical machine learning depending on what the problem requires. All of our projects contribute to delivering digital care that reaches new levels of clinical quality and accessibility.
