Corti, founded in Copenhagen in 2016, is also launching its AI platform designed for the healthcare sector in Germany. Corti has developed its own language model (Large Language Model, LLM), which has been trained with over 100 million patient interactions. Corti's "Co-Pilot", similar to Microsoft's Copilot or Jameda's AI assistants, is designed to listen in on doctor-patient conversations and help doctors with their documentation duties.
The AI platform is intended to help relieve staff of work by reducing the administrative burden of consultations, patient admissions, ward rounds and emergencies. At the same time, Corti promises to reduce the error rate in clinical documentation. According to Corti, it is working with partners to ensure "rapid acceptance on the German market". These include AlsterText, a provider of medical documentation, and Kumi Health, a provider of resource management.
According to Corti, the platform is available to over 60,000 medical professionals across the country. The emergency outpatient department at the Eichsfeld Clinic in Thuringia was one of the first facilities to implement the platform.
"While the doctor talks to the patient, the co-pilot records, organizes and assigns information to the right areas such as diagnostics and laboratory," explained Dušan Trifunović, Chief Physician at Eichsfeld Clinic. The hospital plans to integrate Corti in all departments, from the operating theater to nursing, in order to bring significant progress to the teams and the entire hospital.
Ask a doctor

There is also news at Jameda. With "Ask a doctor", patients will be able to ask health questions anonymously and free of charge to verified doctors. Patients can ask their health questions on the website – Specialists will then respond within 48 hours. The questions and answers are then published. This service aims to provide patients with a safe alternative source of advice, as 62 percent of patients often come across dubious sources of information, according to Jameda.
Doctors can link their answers to an invitation to visit a practice. The offer is intended to increase their visibility on the Internet. For Dr. Uwe Kalinka, a specialist in general medicine, the tool is a good way to help patients at short notice and at the same time draw attention to his qualifications. However, "Ask a doctor" is not intended to replace a personal consultation, but to encourage patients to see a doctor if they have serious complaints. Although other platforms also offer short-term treatment with online questionnaires, they carry the risk of medication errors.
