01Summary

Quantum Consult™ is a patented asynchronous consultation process that captures structured patient narrative across video, audio and text, dynamically adapts subsequent questions using keyword crawling, and compiles a compressed playlist and 280-character summary used to match patients to the most appropriate specialist, researcher or clinical trial.

  5. 2023+

    LLM-era validation

    Multimodal, adaptive intake — the architecture Quantum Consult patented in 2017 — becomes the dominant pattern in healthcare AI.

05Narrative

Designed in 2017, Quantum Consult™ pre-dated the current generation of LLM-driven intake bots by years. Its multimodal architecture — separate, parallel processes for video, audio and text input, each with re-record loops, automated speech-to-text, keyword extraction and dynamic question modification — anticipated the agentic, adaptive intake workflows now emerging in healthcare AI.

The output is a compressed, ranked playlist and a 280-character clinical summary. A provider-matching engine returns the top providers based on extracted tags and seeker characteristics, with the playlist and summary forwarded to selected clinicians for asynchronous review.

Quantum Consult™ became the underlying engine for Akkure's tele-trials platform and the broader patient-physician matching layer, ensuring efficient and seamless execution of the remote virtual consultation while maximising clinician time and facilitating global equity of access.

06Capabilities
  • Multimodal patient intake (video / audio / text)
  • Adaptive question generation
