It’s not hard to see that AI (artificial intelligence) technology is booming right now. Advancements are being made in all industries – from customer service to finance.
One often overlooked impact however, is the medical and healthcare industry. When implemented correctly, AI offers a solid opportunity to automate some of the patient journey process tasks that are usually undertaken by medical and administrative professionals, which can improve and streamline the process involved in effective patient care and treatment.
James Bates is one of the creative minds behind these new technology developments in the healthcare sector. He is the CEO and Founder of AdviNOW Medical, a business which aims to revolutionize healthcare through automation and AI, and has been working with industry professionals to bring top-tier technology and process design to patient engagement and provider consultation.
Allow me to introduce James Bates…

I am the founder and CEO of AdviNOW Medical.
Medical providers are buried by administrative requirements consuming over 70% of their time. AdviNOW Medical is the first company to address the root cause of provider efficiency constraints. The AdviNOW end-to-end patient journey automation platform creates a fully automated AI-infused medical experience for both the patient and provider. Adopting clinics increase patient throughput by 200% by eliminating the manual data collection and documentation requirements of the provider. Providers suffer less burnout and their clinics increase profitability as the patients have better outcomes. This system fundamentally brings down the cost of serving patients and enables value-based care models.
This automation reduces total provider time-per-patient, improves outcomes and increases patient satisfaction. This invention promises to revolutionize healthcare for the entire world as every person has access to low-cost affordable care.
The revolutionary system uses AR-guided objective measurements to provide a complete objective examination combined with an AI-driven patient interview to fundamentally reduce the cost to run existing clinics and is a common platform to drive point of care to the home.
I am a seasoned technology executive with over 20 years of experience inventing and managing the development of revolutionary products. Throughout my career, I have been involved in almost every major consumer technological breakthrough from the mobile phone, to IOT to medical devices to automotive.
Most recently before AdviNOW, I ran a $1 billion dollar business in self driving vehicle technology. My group sold products to everyone from Tesla and Google on the startup side to GM, Toyota and Daimler and other auto manufactures. My company was the largest vender of advanced driver assisted system technology in the world. In 2016, the business was sold and as an officer of the company, it was a good time for me to retire. At the time, healthcare was a major political topic, and everyone was constantly reminded of the issues associated with it.
I believed that healthcare could be a good area to focus on and might be able to help resolve some of the issues. I initially looked at medical practices that were for sale to become an investor, but quickly realized that the profitability of almost all medical practices was challenged. As I got more involved into the operation of a chain of urgent care clinics, I realized that more than 60% of the cost of providing care is administrative in nature.
The dots then connected and my vision was to use the same Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality that is used in Self driving vehicles to eliminate the administrative burden of healthcare.
AdviNOW Medical is the first company to completely automate the medical visit from the beginning registration, through the physician interaction all the way through follow-up. I have assembled a team of industry leaders in cloud applications, medical expertise, and artificial intelligence to invent this new experience.
The company started in my guest house and quickly grew to require an office of its own. I reached out to Arizona state university to find the top students and bring them in to invent world changing technology.
Once clients try the software, it sells itself. Our clients double their patient per hour while leaving time for doctors to spend with patients.
Good to Great is a classic!
We are onboarding more clients every day! We are excited to grow to be over 1000 clients next year! AdviNOW is currently being trialed by many of the large healthcare companies in the US. Once these deployments happen, everyone will engage with an AI before they speak to a doctor enabling the scaling of medicine for the first time. Truly, the expansion of care will be revolutionized!
Resilience is everything. Prepare to work very hard. There will be a lot of trial and error—lots of iterations.
Seek out partnerships and experts; their insights and advice will be critical. Pay for top talent; it will save you time and money in the long run. Maintain a positive, never-give-up attitude; there will be lots of times you’ll want to throw in the towel after several very long days—and nights. Know that you are working toward a solution that will transform lives. There is nothing more gratifying or inspiring!

My mother in law loves to sew.
A few years ago she asked me how to set up an online store.
She wanted to sell fancy throw pillows she was making.
I gave her very basic steps. Enough to get started (I don't know much about ecom).
A few weeks later she showed me her site. It…
Whatever your 2024 goals, hopes, and dreams are.
I hope you make it.
Everyone wants “yes.”
But they don’t wanna pay the price.
100 Nos is the price of one yes.
You can get as many as yeses as you damn well please as long as you’re willing to pay the price.
I was sad to learn that Charlie Munger died today at age 99.
What a life.
He would likely roll his eyes and argue that none of us should be too surprised, based on the actuarial tables, but we’ve lost one of the 20th century’s greatest investors and businessmen.
