Custom-Built AI Inventory Forecasting: Engineered for Your Practice's Rhythm
With over a decade in healthcare AI, we've empowered 200+ providers to own their supply intelligence, not rent it.
Why Choose Us
Generic tools fail medical practices because they ignore the pulse of patient care—flu seasons that surge vaccine needs or elective surgeries that ebb with holidays. We build a bespoke AI system that ingests your EMR data, vendor invoices, and historical trends to forecast with surgical accuracy. Like a vigilant triage nurse anticipating patient influx, it predicts demand down to the box of gloves. HIPAA-compliant by design, it integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, eliminating the chaos of spreadsheets and last-minute orders. Scalable for solo practices or multi-location groups, this is enterprise-grade forecasting, custom-fitted to your workflow.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Operational Excellence with Precision Forecasting
Eliminate Wasteful Overstock
Eliminate Wasteful Overstock: Our AI slashes excess inventory by 30-50%, based on benchmarks from similar clinics handling pharmaceuticals and PPE. Imagine redirecting those savings—up to $150K annually for a mid-sized practice—toward staff training or new diagnostic equipment, all while maintaining just-in-time stocking for items like antibiotics to optimize cash flow.
Ensure Uninterrupted Patient Care
Ensure Uninterrupted Patient Care: Stockouts can halt procedures; our system prevents them with 95% forecast accuracy, integrating real-time EHR data on patient admissions. In one rollout, a family clinic avoided delays in pediatric vaccinations during peak RSV season, maintaining trust and compliance without a single emergency order, reducing procedure backlogs by 25%.
Boost Compliance and Efficiency
Boost Compliance and Efficiency: HIPAA and FDA regs demand precise tracking of controlled substances—our tool automates it with blockchain-secured logs, reducing audit prep time by 60%. Clinics report fewer expired lots of high-value biologics and streamlined DEA reporting, freeing administrators to focus on patient outcomes rather than paperwork piles.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were scrambling every flu season for extra antiviral meds and vaccines, wasting hours on calls to suppliers amid 25% demand spikes. Their custom forecast, tailored to our EHR data, nailed our needs—down to the exact number of flu shots for our 200-patient days. Overstock dropped 42% in six months, and we haven't had a shortage since, avoiding any vaccination delays."
Dr. Elena Ramirez
Chief Medical Officer, Riverside Family Health Clinic
"As a multi-site orthopedic group with varying arthroscopy and joint replacement volumes, syncing supplies like sterile implants across locations was a nightmare. The AI they built integrates our Epic EHR perfectly and predicts demand based on our surgical appointment trends and historical procedure data. Saved us $80K last year on unused implants alone—no more guessing during peak seasons."
Mark Thompson
Director of Supply Chain Operations, Apex Orthopedic Associates
"HIPAA and OSHA compliance was non-negotiable for us in urgent care with high-turnover trauma items. AIQ's system not only forecasts accurately for supplies like sutures and bandages but logs everything securely with audit trails. We cut manual inventory checks from daily to weekly, reduced expired stock by 35%, and our team loves the real-time dashboard—it's like having an extra staffer during night shifts."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting ensure HIPAA compliance in medical inventory management?
HIPAA is foundational to our builds. We encrypt all data at rest and in transit, using anonymized aggregates for AI training—never exposing PHI. For instance, instead of linking supplies to individual patients, we analyze de-identified trends like 'total vaccines administered in Q1.' Our systems undergo regular audits, and we've helped clinics pass surprise inspections without issues. This regulatory awareness stems from our experience in controlled environments, ensuring your inventory forecasts support patient care without compliance risks. Integration with EHRs follows strict access controls, so only authorized staff see sensitive insights.
What data sources does the custom AI use for accurate medical supply predictions?
We pull from your EMR for procedure volumes, pharmacy records for medication usage, and historical invoices for vendor patterns. Add external factors like local health alerts for seasonal spikes—think RSV surges in winter. Unlike generic tools, our models weigh healthcare specifics, such as how a holiday closure affects elective surgeries. In a recent clinic project, this approach forecasted glove needs with 97% precision during a busy quarter, preventing shortages. We start with a data audit to map your unique sources, building a single truth that evolves with your practice's rhythms.
Can this solution scale for a growing multi-site medical practice?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for scalability, handling everything from a single-office family practice to a network of 10+ locations. We unify data across sites via secure APIs, centralizing forecasts while allowing site-specific tweaks, like higher bandage needs in an urgent care vs. a dermatology clinic. One client expanded from three to seven sites mid-project; we adapted without downtime, optimizing chain-wide savings of 28% on shared supplies. It's flexible, growing with your patient base without the integration headaches of bolted-on tools.
How long does it take to implement custom inventory forecasting for our clinic?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most practices see a live system in 6-8 weeks. Week 1-2: Discovery, mapping your EMR and supply data. Weeks 3-5: Model building and testing with your historicals. Weeks 6-8: Integration, training your team, and go-live with monitoring. For a solo provider, it's faster—around 4 weeks—while larger groups might add time for multi-site sync. We've streamlined this for healthcare urgency; one busy ER went operational in 5 weeks, immediately cutting overstock on IV fluids. Post-launch, we optimize for 90 days to hit peak accuracy.
What if our practice has unique supply needs, like specialty oncology drugs?
Customization is our core—we tailor models to your exact workflow, incorporating niche factors like oncology protocols or rare procedure kits. For a cancer center client, we factored in treatment cycle data from their EHR to predict chemo supply demands, reducing waste by 35% on high-cost drugs. No one-size-fits-all here; we collaborate to define variables, ensuring the AI learns your patterns, from shelf-life sensitivities to reimbursement ties. This patient-centric approach means forecasts align with care delivery, not generic retail logic, keeping specialized inventories optimized and compliant.
How does this reduce costs compared to traditional inventory methods in healthcare?
Traditional manual tracking in clinics often leads to 20-30% overstock and emergency buys at premium rates. Our AI delivers precise forecasts, cutting excess by up to 50%—translating to $50K-$200K annual savings for mid-sized practices, per industry benchmarks. It automates reorders, avoids expired stock fines (which can hit $10K+), and optimizes cash flow by tying predictions to actual patient loads. A dermatology group we worked with saved $65K in the first year by right-sizing skincare supplies, redirecting funds to expand services. Long-term, owning the system eliminates subscription fees, compounding ROI.
