Gos­ta Labs and Medanets part­ner to give nurs­es more time for patients

Gos­ta Labs and Medanets are start­ing a part­ner­ship that brings AI-assist­ed doc­u­men­ta­tion into every­day nurs­ing care across Europe. 

Doc­u­men­ta­tion is essen­tial for safe, high-qual­i­ty care, but it takes up a large share of pro­fes­sion­als’ work­ing time. Patient infor­ma­tion is often record­ed twice: once where care takes place, and again lat­er on a com­put­er, across sev­er­al sys­tems. The part­ner­ship moves AI-assist­ed doc­u­men­ta­tion into the work­flow where care actu­al­ly hap­pens.

AI inside the tool nurs­es already use

Medanets pro­vides a mobile appli­ca­tion that nurs­es and oth­er health­care pro­fes­sion­als use to doc­u­ment obser­va­tions, med­ica­tion admin­is­tra­tion and care activ­i­ties at the patient’s bed­side. The appli­ca­tion is used by well­be­ing ser­vices coun­ties and oth­er health­care organ­i­sa­tions across Fin­land and Europe. Gos­ta Labs brings Gos­ta AI Assis­tant, which uses AI mod­els fine-tuned for clin­i­cal lan­guage. Gos­ta lis­tens to the patient encounter and cre­ates a struc­tured doc­u­men­ta­tion draft from it. Pro­fes­sion­als can also dic­tate a note, which Gos­ta turns into a struc­tured sum­ma­ry that fol­lows the organisation’s own doc­u­men­ta­tion tem­plates.

In prac­tice, the nurse logs in to Medanets, iden­ti­fies the patient, opens Gos­ta from a but­ton in the famil­iar inter­face, and dic­tates the note. The nurse then reviews the text, makes any nec­es­sary edits and approves it. The note is saved auto­mat­i­cal­ly to the patient-spe­cif­ic view in Medanets and passed on to the elec­tron­ic health record sys­tem. Nurs­es keep their cur­rent device, login and inter­face, with no sep­a­rate appli­ca­tion to install.

The aim of the part­ner­ship is to com­plete doc­u­men­ta­tion where care takes place, so less time goes to paper­work and more goes to patients.

“Medanets is already in nurs­es’ hands at organ­i­sa­tions across Europe, and now Gos­ta as part of it makes nurs­es’ work even eas­i­er and moves doc­u­men­ta­tion fur­ther towards where care actu­al­ly hap­pens. We are very excit­ed about this col­lab­o­ra­tion,” says Lau­ri Sip­po­la, CEO and Co-Founder of Gos­ta Labs.

“It’s great to start work­ing with the Gos­ta Labs team. There is clear syn­er­gy between our com­pa­nies, and we can bring con­crete ben­e­fits to nurs­ing staff. We can bring sig­nif­i­cant­ly more effi­cien­cy to doc­u­ment­ing care, par­tic­u­lar­ly when it comes to nurs­ing notes,” says Juha-Mat­ti Ranta, CEO of Medanets.

The part­ner­ship is in effect, and deploy­ments are agreed sep­a­rate­ly with each organ­i­sa­tion.
