One of the biggest challenges within healthcare technology is the interface design. Volkswagen's famous "Fun Theory" campaign transformed an ordinary subway staircase in Stockholm into a giant functioning piano. The experiment showed that people naturally choose better behaviors when the experience is better designed. Too much of today's EHR experience creates cognitive friction through fragmented information, constant alerts, and administrative work. Context-aware AI has the opportunity to change that, not by adding more notifications, but by understanding clinical context and surfacing the right information at the right time.

Turning EHR data into actionable intelligence for radiologists
About us
Abxtract was founded in 2024 with the mission to solve data fragmentation within and across the EHR. Purpose-built for radiology, where report accuracy relies on seeing the full patient story, our technology synthesizes contextual clinical data, allowing radiologists to focus on what matters most: image interpretation. Radiologists using Abxtract’s EHR integrated application can review cases up to 30% faster with fewer errors, zero clicks, and no workflow disruption, allowing reports to be finalized sooner and pushed efficiently into charge capture. We don’t build AI to replace human expertise; we build the context layer that makes clinical expertise more effective. By reducing manual searching and preventing missed revenue opportunities, Abxtract is setting a new standard for how health systems improve operational efficiency and throughput at scale.

Radiologists need the right clinical context at the right time. When patient history, prior imaging, and lab results are scattered across disparate PACS, RIS, and EHR systems, fragmented clinical information becomes a major bottleneck. A dangerous domino effect follows: 🔻 Longer search time 🔻 Cognitive overload 🔻 Missed clinical clues 🔻 Delayed diagnosis & follow-up 🔻 Worse patient outcomes Radiologists shouldn't have to spend valuable minutes playing detective across multiple screens just to find relevant priors or clinical indications. AI should eliminate the hunt for information so radiologists can focus on interpretation and critical thinking. 🩺 By synthesizing disparate patient data directly into the diagnostic workflow, AI tools can lighten cognitive load, reduce diagnostic fatigue, and accelerate critical findings when seconds count. What’s the biggest data bottleneck in your reading room workflow today? Let's discuss in the comments.👇 #Radiology #RadiologyAI #HealthTech #MedicalImaging #DiagnosticImaging #DigitalHealth #PACS #HealthIT #RadiologistBurnout #HealthcareAI

Every revolution in radiology has eliminated a major limitation. In 1895, the advent of the X-ray removed the limitation of seeing inside the human body. In 1971, the first CT scan evolved our vision further by removing the limitation of flat imagery and adding anatomical depth. Now, in 2026, context-aware AI is removing the ultimate limitation: remembering everything about the patient. This shift removes a critical cognitive bottleneck, serving purely as a tool for comprehensive patient context while keeping the roles of image interpretation and clinical judgment firmly with radiologists. At Abxtract, this is our focus. Join us as we shape this next medical revolution. #Radiology #HealthTech #MedicalAI #HealthcareInnovation #FutureOfMedicine

MRI safety begins before the patient reaches the scanner. Many MRI safety delays and cancellations can be prevented by identifying critical information like implanted devices, prior surgeries, and contraindications much earlier in the workflow. This carousel explores why early screening and better clinical context are essential for safer, more efficient MRI operations.

Clinical context matters for accurate interpretations. Dr. Singhal's example outlines a common example of this. Clinicians often record their reasoning for ordering the exam but it remains hidden is some inaccessible location. The rest of the time, a proper clinical context is enough for the rad to infer the reason with a high degree of confidence. This was a luxury with last gen tooling but with AI, about to become a non negotiable standard. #QualityMatters #RadiologyAI
Reason for exam: "R/O abnormality" That's the entire clinical history I was given for this chest X-ray. The film shows prominent interstitial markings. On their own, they don't tell me what's wrong with the patient. The clinical context does. Watch what changes depending on what I'm told: 1. WBC 13,000 → infection is now more likely, specifically interstitial pneumonia 2. Tachypneic, O2 sat 92% → now I'm thinking interstitial edema, early left ventricular failure. A cardiac problem, not an infectious one. 3. Firefighter, recent smoke exposure → now it's inhalational injury, and my concern is the airway. 4. Severely immunocompromised → now Pneumocystis jirovecii is on the table, which points to an entirely different workup and treatment. Same film. Four different reads. Four different patients heading to four different teams — antibiotics, a cardiologist, an airway assessment, an HIV test. The image didn't change. What changed was the one thing I wasn't given. Without that context, I'm left with two bad options: hedge across all four possibilities and hand back a report so broad it barely helps the person who ordered it, or commit, and risk sending a patient down the wrong path. Here's the part worth sitting with: the clinical question existed. Someone ordered this film for a reason. That reason simply never made it into the order. I'll spend the rest of this series talking about where AI helps, but this one area isn't really an AI problem. A tool can surface context that's buried elsewhere in the chart. It cannot supply a clinical question that was never recorded, and it cannot fix an indication that's wrong at the source. The fix here is upstream, in how studies get ordered, not in the reading room and not in the algorithm. Not every problem in radiology is waiting for better AI. Some are waiting for someone to repair the foundation. #SignalFromNoise #Radiology #MedicalImaging #HealthcareIT #RadiologyWorkflow

Thank you Jesse Courtier, MD! It's a privilege to help radiologists spend less time searching for information. Identifying an implant is often just the beginning. The chart review, MRI safety verification, and cross-team coordination that follow can create significant workflow interruptions. As device innovation accelerates, making implant information instantly accessible is essential for improving efficiency, supporting patient care, and reducing burnout. At Abxtract, we eliminate these tasks so radiologists focus more time doing what they are trained to do and enjoy: interpreting images and caring for patients.
Anyone know what this device is? 🔍 This is a text or message we see constantly when reading remotely overnight. With the explosive growth of novel medical implants, keeping up with every single radiographic appearance is an uphill battle. When ER teams can’t get a clear history, radiologists are forced to start digging through old charts. The exact same bottleneck happens when urgent questions arise regarding MRI compatibility. Every minute spent hunting for an implant model is a minute taken away from reading active cases. Solutions that eliminate these daily workflow friction points are what move the needle on physician burnout. For hospital administration, solving this translation gap means: *Faster turnaround times *Reduced time away from active queues *Higher overall clinician satisfaction scores Incredibly proud to see how the team at Radiologue Ventures portfolio company Abxtract is tackling these exact daily operational bottlenecks. Massive shout-out to founders Nikhil Madhuripan, MD and Aakriti “Ari” Pandita, MD for building tools that give radiologists their time back. What's the most obscure device you've had to hunt down in a chart this week? 👇 #Radiology #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #PhysicianBurnout #VentureCapital #RadiologistBurnout

A powerful reminder from Dr. Akrum Al-Zubaidi, D.O. FCCP that one of healthcare’s biggest challenges is ensuring patients receive appropriate follow-up care. Eon is doing incredible work helping healthcare organizations identify incidental findings and drive the follow-through needed to improve outcomes 👏 👏 👏
Follow-ups on incidental findings are inconsistent, and the patient can disappear from view, often surfacing months or years later with a potentially progressed disease. https://hubs.li/Q04kQscj0 Written by Dr. Akrum Al-Zubaidi, D.O. FCCP of Eon

A report is only as accurate as the clinical context behind it. Yet critical information is often buried across the EHR, forcing radiologists to spend valuable time searching for answers before they can interpret with confidence. The result is reporting variability, workflow inefficiencies, and missed opportunities for better clinical decision-making. In our latest blog, we explore context-first radiology reporting and how real-time EHR data extraction enables not only improved report quality but also diagnostic accuracy, workflow efficiency, and patient outcomes.

What stops an AI tool from being used in practice? Almost never accuracy alone. The 2020 ACR Data Science Institute AI survey, published in JACR, found about 30% of US radiologists were using AI in clinical practice, what the authors described as "modest penetrance," despite hundreds of FDA-cleared tools. The number, and what's behind it, in the infographic below.

A 2026 JACR study followed 39,000 radiologists for a decade and found the exact moment they quit. Below it, more work builds engagement. Above it, more work drives people out the door. And that's before factoring in the interruptions. Two numbers. One structural problem the industry can't keep ignoring.
