- aiomics — Aiomics | Back to your calling.Across Europe, healthcare providers lose hours every day to fragmented documentation—handwritten notes, scanned PDFs, dictations, disconnected IT systems. The result: burnout, missed revenue, and patients feeling like they’re asked the same question three times.Aiomics changes this. Our AI-driven co-pilot capturesevery clinical detail—speech, handwriting, digital notes—and validates it in real time with a human-in-the-loop process. Interactive checklists surface missing information before the patient leaves, and audit-ready records flow straight back into existing systems. Built for GDPR, MDR, and the EU AI Act from day one, Aiomics makes documentation complete, compliant, and instantly usable.We don’t replace EHRs—we make them better. From admission and discharge reports to insurer forms, from therapist briefings to patient-friendly letters, Aiomics turns paperwork from a burden into an asset. For providers, that means fewer errors, faster reimbursements, and—most importantly—more time at the bedside.Our mission: to empower healthcare professionals by removing administrative burdens and elevating their decision-making with trusted AI guidance—so they can reconnect with why they chose this vocation in the first place.Who we are: Aiomics is co-founded by Dr. Sven Jungmann, a physician with frontline experience of administrative overload; Dr. Nikita Tarasov, a physicist and data scientist; and a lawyer who scaled one of Europe’s largest digital service companies.
