Expeflow & DIGITAL Launch Innovative Project to Augment Mental Health Administration

WATERLOO, ON, Sept. 9, 2024 /CNW/ - Expeflow Inc. has announced the launch of an ambitious new project designed to revolutionize the way mental health administration is managed. With co-investment from DIGITAL, Canada's Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies; and in partnership with iClerk and InnerQore Health: Psychology and Wellness, this initiative aims to significantly reduce the administrative burden on healthcare professionals, allowing more time for direct patient care.

Healthcare professionals often allocate up to two-thirds of their time to paperwork and administrative tasks, detracting from their capacity to provide patient care. The project will leverage AI agent technology to automate these routine processes, delivering industry-specific solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems and uphold stringent governance standards.

"At Expeflow, we are focused on easing the administrative challenges facing mental health clinicians," states Terry Stepien, CEO of Expeflow. "By harnessing the power of agents, we empower healthcare professionals to concentrate on what truly matters—the well-being of their patients."

Set to position Canada as a frontrunner in Agentic AI for healthcare administration, this project will develop AI agents working alongside mental health professionals to automate time-consuming administrative tasks while safeguarding patient data.

"AI development and commercialization is a cornerstone of industrial productivity, service delivery, and success for Canadian companies and Canadians." said Sue Paish, CEO of DIGITAL. "By uniting industry leaders, innovators, and academic partners, we're building the foundation for tomorrow's breakthroughs and ensuring Canada remains at the cutting-edge of global AI innovation and commercialization. We're proud to support organizations like Expeflow to help alleviate the administrative burden on health care professionals and contribute to Canada's global leadership in these emerging usages of AI."

"This initiative not only seeks to streamline operations but also enhances the overall quality of care." Dr. Jeremy Frank, CEO of InnerQore Health comments, "We are excited to be at the forefront of this transformative project that not only streamlines operations but also elevates the quality of care available to those who need it most."

With this pioneering initiative, Expeflow and its partners are poised to enhance the landscape of mental health administration, setting new benchmarks for efficiency, effectiveness, and ethical AI deployment in healthcare.
