ManageCare for Thoracic Surgery

ManageCare orchestrates thoracic surgery patient journeys from lung nodule referral through pulmonary function testing, minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery, and long-term oncologic or post-surgical surveillance. Our AI agents manage the time-sensitive workflows of thoracic oncology, coordinate multi-disciplinary tumor boards, and ensure no patient falls through the cracks between nodule detection and definitive treatment.

Accelerate lung and chest surgery journeys from nodule detection through thoracoscopic intervention and oncologic surveillance.

The Challenge

Why Thoracic Surgery Needs a Smarter Approach

Thoracic surgery practices face critical journey failures where lung nodules detected on incidental CT scans are lost to follow-up, pulmonary function testing bottlenecks delay surgical clearance, multi-disciplinary tumor board coordination is manual and error-prone, and post-lobectomy patients miss surveillance imaging that detects recurrence at treatable stages.

Incidentally detected lung nodules are referred but lost to follow-up when tracking relies on manual processes

Pulmonary function testing availability creates bottlenecks that delay surgical clearance for weeks

Multi-disciplinary tumor board scheduling across thoracic surgery, oncology, and radiation is manual and error-prone

Post-lobectomy patients struggle with chest tube management and pain control, generating high call volumes

Smoking cessation before thoracic surgery is critical but rarely coordinated systematically within surgical practices

Surveillance CT imaging for lung cancer recurrence requires lifelong compliance that patients abandon after year two

Automated Workflows

What ManageCare Automates

Every workflow purpose-built for thoracic surgery operations.

Referral intake with OCR extraction of CT chest reports, PET scan results, and biopsy pathology with patient matching and insurance verification in under 3 minutes

AI-driven scheduling matching patients to optimal slots based on lung nodule growth rate, oncologic staging, PFT requirements, and VATS vs. thoracotomy approach

Smart waitlist that fills thoracic surgery cancellations within minutes via automated SMS and voice outreach to pre-cleared candidates with current PFTs

Pre-treatment prep automation — pulmonary function testing, cardiac clearance, smoking cessation coordination, and incentive spirometry training with compliance confirmation

Multi-channel patient engagement: surgical prep reminders, breathing exercise instructions, and post-operative chest tube and pain management guidance via SMS, voice, and portal

Real-time post-operative pulmonary monitoring with AI severity assessment and escalation for air leak, pneumothorax, or respiratory decompensation

Post-treatment AI triage with 91% first-call resolution — addressing chest tube concerns, pain management, breathing difficulty, and activity progression questions

Automated oncologic surveillance and nodule tracking coordination — zero patients lost to post-thoracic surgery follow-up

AI Employees

AI Agents for Thoracic Surgery

Specialized AI employees that handle these workflows autonomously.

Referral Intake Agent

Extracts CT chest findings, PET results, and biopsy pathology from thoracic surgery referral packets using OCR. Triages urgent malignancies from stable nodules, verifies insurance, and flags missing staging studies for immediate coordination.

Scheduling & Waitlist Agent

Matches patients to optimal slots based on oncologic urgency, PFT clearance status, and surgical approach. Coordinates tumor board scheduling and maintains a pre-cleared waitlist to fill thoracic OR cancellations with minimal delay.

Patient Engagement Agent

Delivers incentive spirometry training, smoking cessation resources, and surgical prep instructions via SMS, voice, and portal. Provides post-operative chest tube care guides and pain management protocols tailored to VATS vs. open thoracotomy recovery.

Care & Triage Agent

Monitors post-operative pulmonary recovery through patient-reported symptoms with AI severity scoring for air leak, pneumothorax, and respiratory distress. Resolves 91% of concerns on first contact and automates lifelong oncologic surveillance to ensure zero patients are lost to follow-up.
