Amie is the new face of healthcare. She is a virtual surgical assistant who supports hospitals and physicians by providing patients with real-time instructions and guidance to help prepare for surgery and recover properly. And you thought she was just another pretty face.

what amie does.

A successful surgery begins long before the operating room, and at the core of it lies good communication. This is why Amie exists. She gently guides patients before and after their procedures, which helps physicians increase patient satisfaction while improving their bottom lines.

prevent cancellations

Unprepared patients result in cancelled surgeries and cost hospitals a fortune. Amie keeps patients informed in real-time with instructions, alerts and guidance to help prevent missed procedures and last-minute complications.

reduce readmissions

Amie helps prevent costly readmissions, one of the most challenging and penalized aspects of healthcare. With virtual check-ins and a dashboard to help physicians monitor progress, she helps ensure patients follow proper instructions and physicians are kept notified of progress and complications.

improve your bottom line

Amie reduces unnecessary visits and increases new patient encounters. And with new remote patient monitoring codes, she helps create new revenue streams for physicians and hospitals.

engage patients

Amie helps patients become more involved in their healthcare. She helps them navigate the stressful and confusing process of surgery. An empowered and well-informed patient increases satisfaction and improves outcomes.

We created Amie because we discovered an unmet need in our own practice. Surgery is always going to be stressful by nature, but the process doesn’t have to be. Amie solves the communication barrier that exists between providers and patients.

Zero cancellations and zero readmissions in published clinical study.

We demonstrated the utility of a smartphone application in the perioperative neurosurgical care setting with regard to patient compliance and satisfaction as well as surgery cancellations and readmissions.

we are FavorHealth.

We are a medical company reworking a key piece in the giant puzzle that is healthcare. Our experience as physicians has armed us with an unparalleled understanding of the needs of both physicians and patients. Amie is the embodiment of that knowledge, and our initial focus.
