About Layer Health

Layer Health is a health technology company that utilizes AI and large language models to streamline medical chart reviews. Layer Health's AI platform uses large language models (LLMs) trained on extensive patient data over time. This technology enables healthcare systems to analyze and interpret both structured and unstructured clinical information with an accuracy comparable to that of clinicians. In contrast to conventional software solutions that predominantly depend on fixed rules, Layer Health’s AI operates with a reasoning approach akin to that of a clinician, allowing it to navigate highly nuanced and intricate situations throughout a patient's complete medical record.
