The AI ER Doctor
In Your Pocket
Talk to Dr. Galen — an AI emergency physician that listens, reasons, checks for diagnostic bias, and recommends the right level of care with actionable next steps.
Dr. Galen
Can you describe the tightness — is it sharp, dull, or pressure-like?
It's more like pressure on my chest...

The ER is broken.
We're fixing it.
An estimated $32B is spent each year on ER visits that could be handled in lower-cost settings.1 Median visit times have climbed to 2 hours 40 minutes and over 4 hours for patients who need admission.2
Life-threatening conditions are missed along predictable lines. Women are 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed after a heart attack.3 Young adults with stroke are misdiagnosed up to 14% of the time, often sent home with a migraine or vertigo diagnosis.4
Asclepiad closes the gap.
An AI that triages with clinical precision, catches the biases humans miss, and gives you clear next steps.

How It Works
Three AI engines work together to give you an ER-quality assessment in minutes, not hours.
Talk
Describe your symptoms by voice or text. Dr. Galen asks the right follow-up questions, just like a real ER doc.
Reason
Claude builds a differential diagnosis, cross-checks against medical literature, and watches for diagnostic bias.
Verify
Perplexity searches real-time medical knowledge — guidelines, drug interactions, local resources — to verify every conclusion.
Act
Get a clear recommendation with next steps: self-care plan, telemedicine handoff, or immediate ER direction with a pre-arrival packet.
The Right Care, Every Time
Not every problem needs the ER. Not every patient should stay home. Asclepiad gets it right.
Self-Care
Personalized care plan with treatment steps, OTC medication guidance, warning signs to watch for, and clear follow-up instructions.
Telemedicine
Structured clinical handoff for a physician: HPI, differential diagnosis, bias flags, and recommended workup, all in one document.
Emergency
Immediate action steps, nearest ER with directions, pre-arrival clinical summary for the care team, and a 911 dispatcher script.
Bias detection
is not optional.
Every assessment is checked against peer-reviewed diagnostic bias patterns. When your demographics match a known under-diagnosis pattern, the system flags it, cites the evidence, and adjusts the recommendation upward.
Because the patients most likely to be sent home are often the ones who need help most.

AI Adjustment
Escalate to Tier 3. Recommend cardiac workup even with atypical presentation.
Three AI Engines. One Assessment.
Each engine specializes in what it does best. Together, they deliver ER-grade clinical reasoning.
Patient Conversation
GPT-5.2 acts as an empathetic ER physician: warm, thorough, asking the right questions one at a time. Voice or text.
Clinical Reasoning
Claude Opus 4.6 analyzes the conversation in real time: building a differential, checking for diagnostic bias, and deciding the right tier.
Knowledge Retrieval
Perplexity Sonar provides real-time medical knowledge: guidelines, drug interactions, FDA alerts, and PubMed evidence when needed.
Your pocket ER doctor is ready.
No downloads, no sign-ups. Just tell Dr. Galen what's going on, and get the right level of care in minutes.
