Patient Data Automation for Research
Let your AI agent handle the tedious work of extracting and anonymizing patient records for genetic studies. Spend less time in Excel and more time advancing research.
You’re a genetic counselor or research coordinator, toggling between Epic, REDCap, and endless spreadsheets to fulfill data requests. Every email from a research partner means hours hunting for records, scrubbing PHI, and updating logs. The paperwork is relentless, and you worry a single missed identifier could trigger a compliance audit.
An AI agent that extracts, de-identifies, and compiles patient datasets for genetic research, so clinical staff can skip manual data prep and focus on care.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In healthcare research, genetic counselors and clinical data managers spend 2-3 hours each week pulling patient data from Epic, anonymizing it in Excel, and formatting it for IRB or research partners. The manual process is slow, error-prone, and stressful, especially when deadlines are tight. Every request means rechecking for PHI, updating Google Sheets logs, and emailing files back and forth. The real cost is lost research time and increased risk of compliance violations.
Time wasted
2-3 hours/week
Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.
Money lost
$7,000/year
In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.
If you keep ignoring it
Ignoring this leads to delayed research projects, potential HIPAA violations, and less time for direct patient care. Over time, repeated errors can jeopardize funding and damage your team’s reputation.

AI Agent FAQ
You can export data from Epic or REDCap and upload it directly for processing. The agent does not require direct integration and works with standard CSV or Excel files.
All data is de-identified according to your instructions. The agent never stores information after processing and uses end-to-end encryption (TLS 1.3) during upload and download.
The agent is best for well-defined tasks like extracting cohorts or preparing IRB datasets. For multi-step workflows, break them into clear steps for reliable results.
Yes, your agent can format datasets and generate the necessary documentation for IRB or compliance audits, following your template requirements.
The agent automates extraction, de-identification, formatting, and logging for research data requests. Some manual oversight is still needed for final review and upload.
