With Alethea, you can receive quick, 24 hour advice knowing that your eConsults are secure, and you will not need to use external channels to share patient information.
Is Alethea privacy compliant?
Verbal consent to take an image and send it through an eConsult is all that is required (just like obtaining verbal consent for a traditional referral). Alethea maintains PIPA compliance.
Is this platform Health Canada approved?
Yes, our digital otoscope is an approved Class I medical device. The artificial intelligence is currently for educational use only, with a submission in progress as a Class II Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).
Has Alethea submitted a PIA?
Yes, we have a PIA that has been submitted to the OIPC. We can provide our physicians with details pertaining to the amendment recommended for their clinic PIAs upon enrolment into our platform.
Is the Alethea AI database a privacy concern for patients?
No, all images that are collected and stored in our AI database are stripped of any patient data or identifying factors. The CPSA have approved the use of images in this context.
Does Alethea operate across Canada?
Alethea currently operates within Alberta, and has launched a pilot in British Columbia. Our full platform will be available for all Family Physicians and Specialists in British Columbia soon.
Can the platform be adjusted to the specific needs of a healthcare provider?
Alethea can quickly customize and develop integrations with other ecosystems when needed.
What are system wide savings that can be expected?
Using Alethea, only 30% of patients required an in-person consultation with a Specialist. Based on our results so far, over time this will result in system wide cost savings and decreased Specialist wait times.
