Decision systems

Thousands of decisions go right. We build for the one that does not.

Avaxia makes software for work where being wrong is expensive. It reads the whole picture, shows where every number came from, and hands the decision to a person. We started in hospitals, because that is where the tolerance for error is lowest.

The problem

The information was there. The system buried it.

Intensive care does not fail because clinicians lack knowledge. It fails because a person is asked to hold too much at once, and the software meant to help mostly shouts.

  • 23%

    of intensive care encounters involve an error in working out what is wrong. 17.8 percent of those caused direct harm.

What we build today

Two products. Both show their working. Neither one acts.

Both are in healthcare, and both are about medicine and the decisions around it. The approach is not specific to medicine, and the next product may not be.

Accu-RxInside the record system, and standalone

Every prescription checked before it is filled.

Drug-to-drug interactions and drug-allergy conflicts, caught at the moment of prescribing. It runs inside the hospital record system for hospitals and insurers, and stands alone for clinics and people who do not have one.

CYP1A2 inhibition raises tizanidine exposure several-fold. Expect a marked drop in blood pressure and sedation. The prescriber confirms or picks an alternative.

What Accu-Rx does

CritivaIntensive care

A whole plan for an ICU patient, with its sources attached.

Critiva reads vitals, labs, medications, imaging and notes, then proposes a full assessment and plan against current international guidance and the hospital’s own history. Anything conflicting with the record is withheld before a doctor sees it.

How we build

Four rules, each enforced somewhere a person cannot quietly skip it.

None of these are specific to medicine. They are what we would carry into any field where a mistake is costly. Each one names the place it is enforced, because a rule that lives only in a document is a preference.

  1. Standards first, never guesswork

    Every dose, score and risk calculation runs against current international guidance, in code. No arithmetic is left to a language model.

    Enforced inIn code

  2. The software proposes, a person authors

    Nothing is acted on without a person putting their name to it. That is a boundary in the architecture, not a setting somebody can change.

    Enforced inIn the architecture

  3. Guardrails are code, not instructions

    A rule written into a prompt is a request. A rule written into the pipeline is a rule. Ours are in the pipeline, and they are tested.

    Enforced inIn the pipeline

  4. Measured against an expert’s own answers

    Output is scored against reference plans written by a practising intensivist, on cases held back from development.

    Enforced inIn the evaluation harness

Where this goes

Healthcare is where we started, not the boundary.

The hard part was never the medicine. It was building software that reads a messy, incomplete record, works out what it can prove, refuses to guess the rest, and leaves the decision with the person accountable for it. That problem exists in plenty of other rooms.

For now it has taken us into a category that is growing on its own, and into three markets we already understand.
