Operational Utility
- Differential Diagnosis (DDx) Generator: This is the core differentiator. It doesn't just list diseases; it categorizes them into "Most Likely," "Expanded Differential," and "Can't Miss" (Emergent). This structure mirrors how attending physicians teach residents to think.
- Assessment & Plan (A/P) Drafting: Once you select a working diagnosis, it auto-drafts the A/P section of your note, including the standard-of-care workup (labs/imaging) and therapeutic next steps, complete with dosage recommendations where appropriate.
The "Trust" Profile (Compliance & Security)
- HIPAA Compliant: Yes.
- FDA Status: Enforcement Discretion / Exempt.
- Why: It functions as a reference tool, not a diagnostic device. It frames its output as "Suggestions for Review," requiring you to verify the logic.
- Evidence-Based: Unlike generic ChatGPT, Glass Health’s models are tuned on peer-reviewed guidelines. It provides inline citations for its clinical plans, allowing you to click and verify why it recommended a specific lab test.
Additional Documentation Features:
- Ambient CDS: A "listening" mode that records the encounter to generate the note and suggest diagnoses in real-time.
- Discharge Summaries: Synthesizes the hospital course into a concise discharge narrative, including hospital-to-home instructions.
- Patient Handouts: Generates 5th-grade reading level explanations of the diagnosis and treatment plan for patients.
- Chart Summarization: Can ingest complex case notes to produce a "One-Liner" summary for handoffs.
Implementation & Integrations
- Integration:
- For Individual Doctors: None. It is a "Sidecar" app. You type/dictate into Glass on your web browser or phone, then Copy-Paste the result into EHR. It does not push data into the chart automatically.
- For Enterprise Systems: They offer a Glass API that allows hospital IT teams to build Glass into their own telehealth or EHR apps, but this requires a custom enterprise contract and development work.
Pricing Model
- Structure: Freemium.
- Free Tier: Access to the basic model (good for students/testing).
- Pro Tier: ~$30/month. Unlocks the advanced reasoning model (Glass AI) and unlimited case drafting.
- Enterprise: Custom licensing for Residency Programs and Health Systems.
The Doxiverse Assessment: Risks & Limitations
- The Strategic Upside: Cognitive Safety Net. Diagnostic error is a leading cause of malpractice. Glass Health forces you to pause and consider "What else could this be?", which is invaluable for complex, undifferentiated patients.
- The Workflow Friction: "Garbage In, Garbage Out." The quality of the output depends entirely on the quality of your "Problem Representation." If you input vague symptoms, you get vague answers. It requires you to be a good narrator to work well.
- The Speed Factor: It is slower than a simple scribe. It is a "thinking tool," not just a "typing tool." Use it for the 20-minute mystery case, not the 2-minute sore throat.
Ideal User Profile
- Perfect For: Internal Medicine Residents, Hospitalists, and Complex Primary Care providers who enjoy the "puzzle" of medicine.
- Not For: Surgeons or Proceduralists who need quick, protocol-driven answers.
