I remember working in the operating room space. I noticed some sites had cameras built into their lights. I asked if they wanted to be able to capture images timestamped to entries in the case record. Everyone was adamant they did not want that as it would open them up to too much subjective liability.

We have a hard time capturing enough information to be useful and understand things. I didn't realize before now but AI is going to make that much much worse. In aerospace we had yearly training from out insurance company lawyers on how to record information into our systems, format emails, etc. It was interesting getting to interface with high power Lloyds lawyers but also surreal/kinda wrong.

You probably mean well. Something something road something something good intentions.

Meta (not the company) AI product idea from this. AI to skim your reports and make sure there is nothing that a 'legal AI' could reconstruct into a lawsuit narrative. It scans all medical records before saving and recommends verbiage adjustments. (You're welcome dev at Oracle reading this needing to respond to an 'Larry needs medical software value propositions for AI' email). Begun the AI wars have. Why stop there with my above examples. Siemens needs a legal AI for PLM at the least as manufacturing engineer defect notes could definitely be interpreted in legally sketchy ways so should be auto scanned/rejected/massaged. On weird note on one part that went through MRB/NCR that ended up in a crashed plane could be trouble.

Almost zero chance this technology doesn't break HIPAA law somehow. > our data is stored securely and encrypted on servers under Legalyze.ai's control. If you found out a law firm is sending your medical records to a third party without any prior BAA or consent....

And HIPAA law actually matters so I don't think this would fly under the radar

Only “covered entities” and their “business associates” fall under HIPPA. Most firms don’t meet the definition.

Even if it was covered it will definitely fly under the radar for the next four years at least.

And the companies that can afford to hire experienced humans keeps winning law-suits. Until the judiciary is automated.

Thanks for your comment! Medical chronologies are already very common across personal injury law and other legal practice types. The problem is that paralegals are spending days, if not weeks, combing through thousands of medical records and entering them into an Excel spreadsheet. This automates most of that task.

I guess the profit is where the hazards lie! Skimming your landing page, it sounds like you're making meaningful efforts to compensate for the aspects of LLM that horrify us around here: sounds like you're primarily providing direct references to the "needles" in the case record haystack, rather than synthesized "insights"; serving the legal professionals themselves with a specific mundane research task of theirs rat…

Yes, we are not using the dreaded RAG to accomplish this task, although we do have it available if a customer wants to chat with their case documents.
