# Bedside - **Event:** [The Future of Agentic AI in Healthcare - Abridge x Anthropic x Lightspeed](https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/abridge-hackathon) - **When:** Sat, Jul 18 at 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM (PDT) - **Where:** San Francisco, CA - **Team:** [Sierra Hillman](https://cerebralvalley.ai/u/SierraHillman), [Julia Lin](https://cerebralvalley.ai/u/Juliajoy) - **GitHub:** https://github.com/sierranoelle/bedside - **Demo video:** https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nawhdwEW1DPthrwMRIlceSottwxI9zk0/view?usp=sharing - **Gallery:** https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/abridge-hackathon/hackathon/gallery - **Page:** https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/abridge-hackathon/hackathon/gallery/20 Bedside is an AI system that automates routine hospital-to-family communication while enforcing a hard boundary on what AI is allowed to deliver. The problem: nurses spend 30+ minutes a day fielding repetitive phone calls from patients' families asking for status updates, and families of hospitalized patients have no reliable way to get information without calling the unit. Bedside takes a short nurse dictation plus the patient's FHIR chart data and runs every fact through an AI classifier with three outcomes: safe facts are automatically texted to family members in their own language, facts requiring context trigger only a nurse-approved "a nurse will call you" notice, and serious findings lock the texting channel entirely, the system schedules a human phone call and gives the nurse a briefing of what the family already knows and has asked. Family members can text questions back: the system answers only from already-shared facts or verifiable events (like whether a doctor has visited), and routes all clinical questions to the care team using a fixed, unvarying reply. The result is that nurses stop making routine update calls, families get proactive information instead of chasing it, and bad news is never delivered by AI, only by a human voice. --- Markdown version of https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/abridge-hackathon/hackathon/gallery/20.
