True care always listens

AI-augmented doctors & practice. A copilot built for medicine, designed on the ground in a working primary-care practice in Luxembourg. Local, GDPR-by-construction AI that gives clinicians their time back, and never takes the decision from them.

01What we build

Three products, one nervous system.

For the doctor

An assistant in consultation

Handles the data, the documentation and the noise at the moment it appears, so the clinician gets the time back to listen and to reason.

In-consultDocumentationDecision support
For the practice

Software for the whole practice

Scheduling, waiting room, incoming documents, follow-ups, billing. The layer a primary-care practice actually runs on, with the same engine underneath.

PlanningDocument triageBack office
For the patient

A patient-owned app

Pre-visit context and patient-reported data, under the patient's control, with explicit choice over what is shared. No diagnosis, ever.

Pre-visit contextPatient-reportedGDPR e2e
Symptems stays a copilot, never an autopilot: the clinician alone reasons, decides, and answers for the act.
02Software for the whole practice

Every document, sorted before you ask.

Biology, lab reports, faxes, mail, any source. A local, purpose-built AI extracts what matters and files it in the right patient folder automatically. The doctor decides what happens next.

This is the piece already running daily in the practice, and it is our proof that the hard part is not the model, it is the last metre into the clinician's workflow.

Local AI means GDPR by construction, not by paperwork: clinical data is processed on site, not shipped to a third-party model.

01
Biology result

Parsed, coded and filed under the right patient, with values presented in context.

02
Specialist report

Correspondence attached to the episode of care it belongs to.

03
Incoming fax & mail

Still the reality of primary care. Read, classified, routed.

04
Nothing lost in the pile

Everything filed and searchable, so the clinician reviews a clean inbox instead of a backlog.

03Our architecture

Dedicated expertise for every organ system.

Not one monolithic model trying to know everything. Medicine reasons by specialty, and so do we: each organ system gets its own focused expertise, cross-checked against the others. That mirrors the very nature of polypharmacy, which is an inter-organ problem.

01

Specialised, not monolithic

The frontier moved from one fine-tuned model to systems that reason in parts and check each other. We built for that frontier, and architected for the one after it.

02

Constrained outputs, calibrated confidence

We know how unreliable free-text models are, so we don't ask for prose. Each step returns a bounded, typed answer with an explicit confidence level: below threshold, nothing is surfaced as a finding, it goes to the clinician. Reliability comes from the constraint, not from hoping the model behaves.

03

Human in the loop, by construction

Symptems produces structured signal for the clinician to act on. The clinician remains the decision-maker and the liability holder, surfaced explicitly in the interface.

04The scientific lead

Interaction checkers read the list. Not the sequence.

An iatrogenic cascade has a cause and it has dates. That ordering is the signal every current tool throws away, and it is where our architecture has an edge.

How a cascade actually unfolds

Iatrogenic cascade
1
Day 0

A first medication is prescribed and tolerated.

2
Week 1

A second medication inhibits the enzyme of the first.

3
Silent

The phenotype shifts. Nothing visible yet.

4
Week 2–3

The adverse effect appears, too late to be attributed to the right culprit.

5
Cascade

A third medication is prescribed for that symptom.

The lead

The genotype is static; the phenotype is a trajectory, and therefore computable by an event-driven engine. Our exploratory work on masking mechanisms points this way. It is a lead, not a demonstration, and we are building the clinical partnerships to validate it properly.

05The ground

A working practice, on a real border.

We build inside an active general-practice clinic at the heart of the Greater Region in Luxembourg, with real patients and real constraints. That is the difference between designing decision support and discovering, late, that it does not fit the consultation.

Luxembourg is a multilingual country with a pilot-scale health system and direct access to GPs in both initial and continuing training: a short channel to recruit, and a short channel to reach the market.

It also carries a population where a large share lives on one side of the border and is treated on the other. Prescriptions accumulate across systems that do not yet talk to each other, which is exactly the gap European interoperability is meant to close.

01
Pilot-scale health system

Small enough to move, real enough to prove. Direct access to GPs in initial and continuing training.

02
Multilingual by default

Clinical software and patient interaction tested across languages from day one, not retrofitted for expansion.

03
Cross-border prescribing

Patients treated on both sides of the border, with medication lists no single system holds in full.

04
A short path to evidence

One clinical site, one channel to recruit, one channel to disseminate. Real-world constraints from the start.

06The founder
Dr Eric Sassel interviewed on RTL
Dr Eric Sassel · Founder & CEORTL Kloertext

A doctor building from inside the consultation.

Dr Eric Sassel is a practising primary-care physician and a member of the Luxembourg medical digitalisation committee, working on making the country's medicine coherently and interoperably digital.

That places the product where it needs to be: close enough to the workflow to design it right, and close enough to the regulation to build for where European healthcare is actually heading.

Symptems is built in his own practice, with real patients and real constraints, which is why the hard part we solve first is the last metre into the clinician's day rather than the model itself.
