For every patient visit, physicians spend an average of 16 minutes and 14 seconds using electronic health records to review data and make notes, according to a 2020 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Navina, a New York-based medical tech company, has created an artificial intelligence tool to help doctors reclaim some of that time — and ensure that important data doesn’t get missed.
The platform, which is also called Navina, uses generative AI to transform how data informs the physician-patient interaction, explained Ronen Lavi, the company’s Israel-based CEO.

Lavi said that the company’s main goal “in bringing AI to the primary point of care was to make the patient-provider interaction more meaningful and effective by giving physicians deep patient understanding in the little time they have,” he told Fox News Digital in an interview.
The problem of overburdened providers is a widespread concern, Lavi said.

“They have tons of data to sift through from multiple sources and in different formats,” he continued.
“It’s disorganized, non-chronological and fragmented.”
He added, “AI can process a high volume of data across sources and summarize complex medical jargon into simpler and shorter terms.”
The second goal was for Navina to arm clinicians with insights that will shift care from reactive to proactive, Lavi said.
This could help catch disease risk factors sooner, facilitate quicker diagnoses and even save lives potentially.
