HMIE · H-Link Medical Intelligent Engine

Decision support that shows its working

HMIE, the H-Link Medical Intelligent Engine, runs open medical models on servers we control. Each feature does one task, shows its sources where it has them, and leaves the decision to the clinician. Where a number can be calculated, it is calculated, not guessed by a language model.

Two things that can carry clinical text do leave our servers: questions typed into the knowledge assistant go to Google to find matching sources, and the live dictation preview uses your browser’s own speech service (Google in Chrome, Microsoft in Edge). Stock and catalogue tools, which carry no patient data, can also use cloud AI.

Patient data goes from the clinician to HMIE, the H-Link Medical Intelligent Engine, on servers we control, and a suggestion comes back for the clinician to decide on. Cited medical sources feed the knowledge assistant. Sending patient data to cloud AI companies is refused.

The problem

What it is built to fix

Too few specialists

A medical officer in a district hospital is often the most senior clinician for miles, with no one to ask.

Documentation eats the day

Time spent writing notes and coding diagnoses is time not spent with patients.

Black-box answers

A confident answer with no source is dangerous in medicine. Clinicians need to see why.

Capabilities

What Clinical intelligence does

Clinical decision support

Suggestions a clinician can review, accept or discard — never an automatic decision.

What is included in Clinical decision support: 4 items
  • Differential diagnosis and red-flag support from the recorded findings
  • Laboratory result interpretation
  • Drug interaction and dosing checks
  • Most AI calls logged with the model version that answered them

A knowledge base with citations

Answers drawn from medical literature, with each statement linked to the source it came from.

What is included in A knowledge base with citations: 3 items
  • Numbered citations on every answer
  • Links to the published source
  • Sources listed beneath every answer

Smart Doc: documentation and coding

Less typing, more consulting.

What is included in Smart Doc: documentation and coding: 5 items
  • Dictation turned into a clinical note for the clinician to review
  • Chart, shift-handover and pre-visit summaries
  • On ward rounds, dictation fills the form fields, and the clinician ticks what is applied
  • ICD-10 code suggestions
  • Speech recognition for Twi, Ewe, Dagbani and Ga, in development with Ghanaian speakers

Operational forecasting

The numbers are calculated with statistics, not guessed by a language model.

What is included in Operational forecasting: 3 items
  • Demand forecasts with confidence ranges and stock-out dates
  • Safety stock and reorder points
  • Supplier scorecards

Claims checked against the note

A second read of an NHIS claim before it goes out, claim by claim.

What is included in Claims checked against the note: 3 items
  • Flags codes the note does not support, and care the claim leaves out
  • Every finding quotes the line of the note it came from
  • Advisory: the claims officer decides, and every review is kept

Workflow

From question to decision

  1. Ask

    The clinician dictates, asks a question or opens a chart.

  2. Suggest

    HMIE drafts a note, a differential or a code.

  3. Show sources

    Knowledge answers carry numbered citations to the published source.

  4. Decide

    The clinician accepts, edits or discards it.

  5. Record

    Most decision-support calls are logged with the model version that answered.

Frequently asked questions

What is HMIE?

The H-Link Medical Intelligent Engine: the layer that runs H-Link’s clinical AI. It uses open medical models, in a small and a large size, on servers we control, and each feature calls it for one task.

Does the AI make clinical decisions?

No. Every feature presents a suggestion for a clinician to review. The clinician decides, and remains responsible for the decision. None of these features has regulatory approval as a medical device.

Where is patient data processed for AI features?

Patient-data AI features run on HMIE, on GPU servers we control at a hosting provider named in our sub-processor list. A guard in the software refuses to send those requests to cloud AI companies, and an automated check blocks new code that connects to them directly. Two things that can carry clinical text do leave our servers: questions typed into the knowledge assistant go to Google to find matching sources, and the live dictation preview uses your browser’s own speech service (Google in Chrome, Microsoft in Edge). Stock and catalogue tools, which carry no patient data, can also use cloud AI.

Is patient data used to improve the AI?

In some features, yes, and only on the terms we agree with your facility. Screening images are kept for model improvement only when the patient’s consent is recorded, and clinicians’ corrections to AI suggestions are used to evaluate and improve those features. We agree how your facility’s data may be used before go-live.
