Join 150+ businesses with optimized supply chains
The "Supply Chain" Problem
Unpredictable demand spikes from seasonal flu outbreaks leading to critical shortages of antiviral medications and N95 respirators, disrupting emergency dispensing protocols
Regulatory compliance risks with overstocked Schedule II controlled substances violating DEA storage and record-keeping guidelines under 21 CFR 1301.71
Manual tracking errors in mobile inventories for home health aides causing delays in patient visits and disruptions to medication adherence and care continuity
Wasted resources on expired supplies like Foley catheters and IV tubing due to poor visibility into usage patterns across field nurses and hospice teams
HIPAA exposure from fragmented tracking systems that fail to secure protected health information (PHI) tied to inventory assignments in electronic health records (EHR)
Cash flow strain from tying up budgets in unused stock of TPN solutions and infusion pumps during off-peak periods for home infusion therapies
Tailored AI Inventory Forecasting Built for Home Healthcare
With over a decade of experience architecting compliant systems for patient-facing organizations, AIQ Labs delivers enterprise-grade solutions that adapt to your agency's unique rhythms.
Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all tools crumble under the weight of home healthcare's demands—like coordinating supplies for scattered patient homes or navigating strict HIPAA protocols. We build custom AI models from the ground up, trained on your historical data from EHR integrations and field reports. This isn't a template; it's a flexible system molded to your workflows, predicting demand with precision while embedding regulatory safeguards. Think of it as a vigilant supply chain cardiologist, monitoring vitals to prevent bottlenecks before they impact care.
What Makes Us Different:
Patient-Centric Wins from Precision Forecasting
Eliminate Care Disruptions
Eliminate Care Disruptions: Our AI-driven models forecast demand with 92% accuracy for seasonal outbreaks, ensuring field nurses always have essential medications and PPE on hand. Home health agencies using our system report 40% fewer emergency supplier runs for items like epinephrine auto-injectors, maintaining stable patient outcomes and boosting HCAHPS satisfaction scores by 15%.
Optimize Costs Without Cutting Corners
Optimize Costs Without Cutting Corners: Reduce overstock by 30% on average for high-value items like chemotherapy drugs, freeing capital for direct patient care initiatives. For a mid-sized hospice agency, this meant saving $150,000 annually on unused wound care supplies, while ensuring full adherence to Joint Commission standards.
Fortify Compliance and Security
Fortify Compliance and Security: Built-in HIPAA-compliant controls with role-based access audit every narcotic transaction in real-time, minimizing breach risks. One home infusion client avoided a potential $50,000 OCR fine by automating secure tracking of opioid distributions across 200+ monthly visits, with full audit trails integrated into their EHR.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd scramble during winter flu season with IV saline shortages, delaying hydration treatments for 20% of our elderly patients in rural areas. Their custom forecaster integrated seamlessly with our Epic EHR and predicted a 25% demand surge for fluids with pinpoint accuracy—we haven't had a stockout in six months, allowing our nurses to focus on care rather than logistics hunts."
Maria Gonzalez
Director of Clinical Operations, CareAtHome Services (a 500-bed home health network serving the Midwest)
"Managing expired wound dressings and ostomy pouches was eroding our margins—last year, we wrote off $80,000 in hospice supplies alone. AIQ's system, customized to our mobile team's GPS-tracked routes and usage data from 150 field nurses, cut waste by 35% and flagged expiration risks two weeks in advance via mobile alerts. It's revolutionized our supply budgeting for chronic care patients."
Dr. Raj Patel, MD
Chief Medical Officer, Mobile Health Partners (a leading provider of community-based wound care in the Southeast)
"HIPAA audits were a nightmare with our legacy spreadsheets tracking PHI-linked insulin pens. The AIQ solution embeds compliance workflows directly into the forecasting engine, securing PHI for every supply assignment with encrypted logs. We've passed two unannounced audits flawlessly in the past year, and our forecasting accuracy reached 96% for seasonal allergy medications during peak pollen months."
Sarah Jenkins, RHIA
Director of Compliance and Risk Management, ElderCare Innovations (a nonprofit network of 20 senior living facilities)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting ensure HIPAA compliance for home healthcare?
We embed HIPAA standards directly into the system's architecture, using end-to-end encryption for any data linking supplies to patient PHI. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds include role-based access controls tailored to your agency's structure—nurses see only what's needed for their routes, while admins get full audit trails. We've helped agencies pass rigorous audits by automating secure logging of controlled substance distributions, reducing breach risks by 50%. This patient-centric approach ensures care continuity without compromising privacy.
What data sources does the AI model use for accurate predictions?
Our models pull from your internal sources like EHR visit logs, historical usage patterns, and staff schedules, plus external factors such as regional health trends from CDC data. For home healthcare, we factor in mobile variables like travel distances and patient acuity levels. This creates forecasts with 92-98% accuracy, far surpassing manual methods. One agency integrated their Cerner system and saw immediate improvements in predicting demand for diabetic supplies during peak seasons.
Can the system handle the variability of home-based patient care?
Absolutely. Home healthcare's unpredictability—canceled visits, sudden acuity changes—is what we design for. The AI adapts by learning from real-time inputs, like nurse-reported usage via mobile apps, to refine predictions on the fly. It accounts for scenarios like flu outbreaks increasing respiratory kit needs by 30%. Clients report cutting emergency orders by 40%, ensuring supplies match the dynamic flow of in-home therapies without overstocking.
How long does it take to implement and see results?
Implementation typically spans 8-12 weeks, starting with a two-week discovery phase to map your workflows. We deploy in phases: core forecasting first, then integrations and training. Agencies often see quick wins within the first month, like 20% reductions in stockouts. Full ROI hits by quarter two, with one client optimizing $200,000 in inventory costs. Our process minimizes disruption, training your team alongside the build.
What if our agency grows or regulations change?
Our solutions are built scalable and adaptable. As your patient base expands from 200 to 500 homes, the system auto-scales without downtime, handling increased data loads seamlessly. For regulatory shifts, like new CMS guidelines, we provide update modules—our engineering team monitors changes and integrates them proactively. A partner agency scaled during post-pandemic growth and stayed compliant through two DEA audits, all without rebuilding from scratch.
How does this differ from off-the-shelf inventory software?
Off-the-shelf tools are rigid, often ignoring healthcare nuances like PHI security or mobile tracking, leading to 25% error rates in forecasts. We custom-build for your exact needs, integrating deeply with your EHR and creating workflows that fit home care's pace. This ownership model avoids vendor lock-in; you control the code. Results? 35% better cost savings and zero compliance gaps, as seen in our deployments versus generic benchmarks.
