Medical History Automation for Coroners

Let your AI agent handle tedious medical history collection—so you can focus on casework, not paperwork. No more toggling between Epic, Outlook, and shared drives.

You spend hours as a coroner or forensic investigator digging through Epic, Cerner, scanned PDFs, and emails just to piece together a decedent’s medical story. Every case means switching between systems, copying data into Word, and worrying you missed something critical. The manual process eats up your time and keeps you from higher-value forensic analysis.

An AI agent that collects, summarizes, and formats medical histories for coroners by extracting data from EMRs, autopsy reports, and case files.

What this replaces

Download patient records from Epic into local folders
Copy medical details from scanned PDFs into Word reports
Cross-check medications and conditions in Cerner against autopsy findings
Email hospitals for missing documentation
Manually format history sections for CaseGuard case files

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In medical examiner offices, coroners and forensic pathologists waste 2 hours per week pulling medical histories for each case. The process involves logging into Epic or Cerner, searching hospital records, cross-checking with autopsy findings, and typing summaries into case management systems like CaseGuard or Foray. This repetitive work is error-prone and diverts attention from investigative responsibilities.
