What will the future of patient care and the clinical experience look like? How will personalized healthcare, documentation, and decision-making evolve? Today, many companies are building AI tools that “sit on top” of legacy EHRs, attempting to make slow, outdated systems more efficient. But are these just stopgaps—workarounds rather than true solutions?
The real transformation will come from AI-native platforms, built from the ground up to rethink how healthcare data is used and experienced. While the image of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey might carry a negative connotation, it also suggests a future where systems think, learn, and collaborate. This is the vision behind WellPro™ and its development of an Intelligent Health Record (IHR) Platform—a next-generation approach to managing patient care.
By integrating personal medical records or aggregating data from sources like Zus, Cliexa, or Mammouth AI, IHR platforms will offer deep, real-time insight into a patient’s health history. While AI scribing is quickly becoming a commodity, the real breakthrough lies in how we interact with these systems. Instead of endless clicking and searching, clinicians will ask: “Show me X,” “How has this changed over time?” or “What are the likely diagnoses?” The experience becomes conversational, fluid, and intelligent.
Beyond documentation, the IHR supports diagnosis, research, ordering, education, and outcome tracking. It becomes an active assistant—not just a passive system—surfacing recommendations, guidelines, and trends on demand. Doctors are freed from screens and reconnecting with their patients, spending more meaningful time delivering care.
Current AI-enhanced EHRs may be necessary for now, but they’re not the endgame. True progress lies in intelligent, responsive platforms that shift healthcare from transactional to personal. The IHR isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a reimagining of what healthcare can be.
In the latest Merge Medical Deep Dive Podcast, Drs. Jeff Brown and Jeff Cole talk with WellPro™ CEO and Founder, David Lefkovits.
WellPro™ is building the next-generation Intelligent Health Record (IHR) for independent practices—an AI-native platform to replace the outdated Electronic Health Record (EHR) to meet the needs of modern healthcare. It aggregates and processes a patient’s full longitudinal dataset—structured or unstructured—delivering real-time, actionable insights at every step of care.
Unlike emerging AI tools that sit on top of legacy systems, WellPro™ is AI-first and built from the ground up as a fully integrated, end-to-end solution. It doesn’t just enhance old workflows—it reimagines them, seamlessly connecting every aspect of patient care.
Designed for personalized medicine practitioners, WellPro™ synthesizes vast amounts of multi-source health data—medical records, patient history, diagnostics, genomics, biomarkers, lifestyle factors, and real-time data from wearables—helping providers deliver truly personalized, preventative, and data-driven care.
Their go-to-market strategy starts with cash-pay practices, expanding next into insurance-pay practices with AI-powered capabilities to optimize payor-based care. WellPro™ is building a generational company with the intelligence, infrastructure, and vision to transform healthcare delivery.
🌱 What This Means for the Future
We may finally be entering an era where:
• Doctors look at patients, not screens
• Healthcare feels personal, not transactional
• Clinician burnout declines, and joy in medicine returns
• Outcomes improve, not because of more data, but because of better interaction with that data
