The Problem

Every visit starts with the same clipboard

Patients with multiple providers fill out the same medical history, medication lists, and insurance details over and over. Front desk staff re-enter data they've seen a hundred times. Everyone loses.

The Product

A portable health profile that lives in your wallet

TetherIQ Intake Bridge lets patients create their health profile once, receive a wallet-sized card with a QR code, and present it at any participating practice. The front desk scans the code and gets a pre-filled intake form in seconds — not minutes.

Patient Enrolls Once

A guided intake process — by phone, with family help, or self-service — creates a complete health profile. Medications, allergies, insurance, surgical history, all in one place.

  • AI voice-assisted intake for seniors
  • 8 languages including Arabic RTL
  • No app download required

Carries Their Card

A credit-card-sized wallet card with a QR code and patient ID. No smartphone needed. No login to remember. Patients carry it like their insurance card.

  • Works without a smartphone
  • PIN-protected for HIPAA security
  • Digital wallet pass (Apple/Google)

Practice Scans & Goes

Front desk scans the QR code with a webcam. Verifies patient identity with DOB + PIN. Pre-filled intake appears in 1.2 seconds. Export to PDF, hand to the doctor.

  • 22 min intake → 90 seconds
  • 8 EHR integrations (athenahealth, Epic, AdvancedMD & more)
  • AI-powered medication validation & clinical intelligence

How It Works

From enrollment to exam room in four steps

01

Patient calls or visits onboarding

25-35 min (one time)

A phone agent — or family member, or the patient themselves — walks through a guided questionnaire. Demographics, insurance, medications, allergies, surgical history, emergency contacts, pharmacy, PCP. Everything a practice intake form asks.

02

Wallet card arrives in the mail

3-5 business days

A credit-card-sized card with the patient's name, QR code, unique patient ID, and a PIN hint. Fits right next to their insurance card. No smartphone or app ever required.

03

Patient presents card at check-in

15 seconds

At any participating practice, the front desk scans the QR code with a webcam. The system returns the patient's name — and nothing else — until identity is verified. Patient confirms date of birth and 4-digit PIN.

04

Pre-filled intake appears instantly

< 2 seconds

The full patient profile cascades onto the screen: allergies flagged, medications listed, insurance verified, history complete. Staff exports a PDF using the practice's own template. Hand it to the doctor. Done.

About TetherIQ

Built by an enterprise architect who's done this before.

TetherIQ is founded by an enterprise architect with 30 years building systems at Fortune 500 companies and Big Four consultancies. A career spent entirely in regulated industries: healthcare, financial services, energy, legal. Places where compliance isn't optional and technology has to work the first time.

Intake Bridge is TetherIQ's first product. The consultancy specializes in domain-specific agentic AI for regulated industries — the same deep expertise in compliance, security architecture, and enterprise integration that makes Intake Bridge HIPAA-ready from day one, available to organizations building their own AI capabilities.

We believe AI should be precise, purposeful, and built for the specific constraints of your domain. Not a generic solution searching for a problem.

🏥

Regulated Industries

Healthcare, financial services, legal, energy. We build where compliance isn't a feature — it's a prerequisite.

🏗️

Enterprise Architecture

30 years designing systems that scale. Cloud platforms, security frameworks, integration patterns that survive the real world.

🤖

Agentic AI

Custom AI agents that understand your terminology, respect your constraints, and integrate with your existing systems. Not generic chatbots.

🔒

Security-First

HIPAA, SOC 2, BAAs, audit trails. Security architecture designed in from day one, not bolted on after launch.
