Connecting Patient Data and Killing the PDF

Author: Functional Forum March 23, 2023 Duration: 44:16

This episode explores Kalibra, a new healthcare AI tool. It aggregates patient data from multiple sources and helps clinicians and patients alike prioritize health information based on functional and lifestyle medicine principles. 

Our guest on this episode of the podcast, Ivan Vatchkov, the CEO of Kalibra, shares with us how Kalibra.ai performs diverse functions, including bringing together all patient data into one dynamic place. It digitizes, organizes and analyzes the many PDFs from health wearables and lab, gut microbiome, and functional medicine testing.

Listen to the full conversation to: 

  •       Understand how you can simplify your practice management
  •        Consider how data collection and analysis can streamline healthcare, especially in conventional medicine
  •        Discover how lifestyle medicine principles were built into Kalibra
  •        Explore the potential of AI health coaches as powerful tools to help patients make lifestyle changes
  •        And much, much more

The Evolution of Medicine has sought to be inspiring, present valuable clinical content, and highlight technology and practice management topics that advance lifestyle and functional medicine. Now that AI is becoming more prevalent, we are asking, "how will this impact the evolution of medicine?"

Kalibra is tangible, it is real, and it is exciting. This is the Evolution of Medicine. Enjoy.
