The Problem

Canadian physicians face critical challenges with clinical decision-making tools:

  • Existing clinical decision support tools are US-focused and don't account for Canadian drug formularies, billing codes, or privacy laws
  • Doctors spend 2+ hours daily on documentation instead of patient care
  • Drug interaction databases are often outdated or lack Canadian DIN coverage
  • No affordable CDS tool exists for solo practitioners and small clinics
  • AI tools in healthcare lack proper PIPEDA/PHIPA compliance and Canadian data residency

The Solution: ArdenMD

A Canadian-first clinical decision support platform that combines 658+ evidence-based Medical Logic Modules with AI reasoning, voice capture, and drug interaction checking. Built for how Canadian doctors actually work.

Medical Logic Module Library

658+ peer-reviewed clinical decision modules across 47 specialties, built on HL7 Arden Syntax v2.10. Each module encodes evidence-based clinical guidelines into executable logic.

AI-Powered Diagnostics

Differential diagnosis generation, lab result interpretation, and critical value alerts powered by Claude and GPT-4. Context-aware reasoning that understands Canadian clinical standards.

Drug Interaction Checking

Canadian DIN database integration with renal and hepatic dosing adjustments. Formulary-aware prescriptions with Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) integration.

Voice Encounter Capture

Record patient encounters with Deepgram speech-to-text, then extract structured clinical data using NLP. Saves doctors hours of documentation time per day.

Canadian Standards Compliance

Built for Canadian healthcare: ICD-10-CA, CCI codes, LOINC, SNOMED CT. Full PIPEDA and PHIPA compliance with AES-256 encryption and Canadian data residency.

Subscription & Access Tiers

Flexible pricing: Student/Resident ($19/mo), Solo Practitioner ($79/mo), Clinic 5+ ($299/mo), and Enterprise custom pricing. 14-day free trial for all tiers.
