The Problem

Three forces are crushing American healthcare — and they compound each other.

Time, access, and trust. None of them can be solved alone.

67%

of every visit is paperwork

More than half the minutes of a clinical visit disappear into history-taking and admin before a word of care is spoken.

100M

Americans without primary care

And we are short 350,000 mental health workers nationwide. When supply is this constrained, every wasted minute has a human cost.

1in 5

patients withhold information

Most do it because they fear judgment. Cold, transactional AI makes this worse — clinicians end up making decisions on incomplete data.

Where the time actually goes

A standard 18-minute primary care visit and a one-hour behavioral health intake — broken down by what the clinician is doing minute-by-minute.

The Docatar Difference

Most intake AI is a glorified form. Ours holds a real conversation.

We don't replace the clinician. We give every clinician 30% of their day back — and give every patient a place where they feel safe enough to tell the full story.

30% of clinical time, back.

The 12 minutes of history-taking in a primary care visit collapses into a fraction of the time. Same for behavioral health intake — clinicians arrive prepared, not catching up.

"Day one. Not someday."

A real conversation, not a form.

Docatar adapts tone, language, and pacing based on who's in front of it. Empathetic. Culturally aware. Personalized to every patient — not a chatbot wrapper on a checklist.

"It listens like a person would."

Patients choose who they talk to.

No other platform does this. Our bias-reduction matching pairs each patient with an avatar they feel safe with — so they tell the full story, and clinicians get the complete clinical picture.

"When patients feel seen, they speak."

How it works

Four steps. Zero forms.

01

Patient is invited.

Before the appointment, the patient receives a secure link. No app to download, no account to create.

02

They choose their avatar.

Patients pick the clinician avatar they feel most comfortable speaking with — our bias-reduction matching at work.

03

A real conversation.

Docatar talks with the patient — not at them. Adaptive, empathetic, in their language and at their pace.

04

The clinician is ready.

The provider walks in with a clean, structured intake summary. They spend the visit doing what only humans can do.

Frequently Asked

Answers to the questions we hear most.

Those products are AI scribes — they listen to and transcribe the visit. Docatar fills a different workflow slot: we handle intake, the work that happens before the clinician walks in. We also do something none of those platforms do: bias-reduction matching, where patients choose the avatar they feel safe speaking with. We're complementary to scribes, not competitive with them.
The avatar gathers information; the clinician makes every clinical decision. Docatar is a decision-support layer, never a decision-making one. Every output is reviewed by the licensed provider before it informs care. That's an architectural choice, not just a policy.
Our two committed pilot sites will validate two metrics: 30–40% faster intake and greater than 95% data accuracy. Beyond that, we're building an evidence base around bias-reduction matching, patient disclosure rates, and provider burnout outcomes. A formal clinical validation summary is available on request.
Yes. Our architecture is designed HIPAA-first, deployed on Azure with the appropriate BAAs in place. 15% of our current raise is dedicated specifically to compliance, HIPAA, and security work — we treat it as foundational, not a checkbox.
Our list price is $1,000 per provider per month, or $12,000 per provider per year. We offer tiered pricing for clinics, health systems, and rural networks — and add-ons for remote patient monitoring, advanced analytics, and custom workflows. Early-access partners lock in preferred pricing.
Patients use Docatar when their provider subscribes. We're targeting public launch in Q1 2027, with pilot patients using the platform before then through our committed pilot sites. Sign up for the patient waitlist above and we'll notify you when Docatar is available with a provider near you.
Yes. Deep EHR integration is a Q3–Q4 2027 milestone, with Epic, Cerner, and Athena prioritized first. The intake summary Docatar produces is structured to map cleanly into existing EHR fields — so adoption doesn't require rebuilding workflows.
We'd love to hear from you — whether you're a provider interested in early access, a patient who wants to know when we'll be in your area, or a partner or investor who wants to learn more. Email us directly at Drmarshall@mdforwomen.com and we'll get back to you promptly.

Healthcare deserves better than six minutes of care.

We've built the platform that fixes it — and we have the team, the technology, and the patent portfolio to win this category. Join us.
