RISA, your Clinical Research Assistant
RISA ships on every CIS. Think of it as a resident who has already read the whole chart: it does the research legwork and drafts next steps, and a clinician always makes the call.
ThetaRho is my assistant. It is like having a resident working for me to gather the information I need about the patient. I just ask for what I need and ThetaRho gives it to me.Practicing physician
How RISA works
Think of it as a resident who has already read the whole chart. RISA works in five steps, day or night, so clinicians get answers they can trust and act on.
Hear each patient on today's surgery schedule summarized.
Get an hourly vitals and meds digest for your ICU patients.
Hand off patient prep and literature searches. The answers wait for you.
Specialty editions: cardiology, oncology, primary care, gynaecology and more. Opens inside your EHR.
One platform. Four ways it works for you.
Each letter in RISA represents a distinct form of clinical intelligence — from finding data to acting on it.
Intelligent Data Retrieval
Ask natural-language questions and instantly access patient data across the full medical record. RISA searches vitals, labs, medications, specialist notes, imaging, and records from connected health exchanges — returning exactly what you need in seconds.
RISACompiles a
requested list of procedures, notes, images and labs — pulled from the chart and
connected exchanges.
- Natural language queries — no menus, no clicks
- Searches EHR, CommonWell, TEFCA, and connected HIEs
- Reads all document formats — PDFs, CCDAs, XML, scanned images
- Results in seconds, not minutes
Patient-Contextualized Research
Research clinical questions using public medical literature, guidelines, and drug databases — with results applied to the specific patient you're treating. RISA doesn't return generic answers. It matches published evidence to your patient's labs, medications, and clinical history.
- Searches PubMed, clinical guidelines, drug databases
- Results interpreted in the patient's specific context
- Cited sources for every recommendation
- At the point of care — no separate search needed
RISAPresents
published dosing guidelines applied to this patient's weight, A1C, and current
medications—patient-specific guidance with cited sources.
Every Response is Traceable to the Source
RISA’s grounding engine color-codes every response. Medical concepts traced to data in the patient record appear in green. Concepts that cannot be reliably traced appear in orange — giving physicians a quick visual cue on what's verified and what needs further validation.
Unified Clinical Insight
Bring together patient data from every source — athenaOne records, outside encounters, HIE data, faxed reports, imaging — and surface meaningful patterns, trends, and care gaps that no single record reveals on its own.
- Pre-visit summaries and "since last visit" change reports
- Cross-source data synthesis from EHR and HIE records
- Problem-focused overviews and chronological timelines
- Patterns and care gaps surfaced automatically
RISAPulls the last
two cardiology consult notes — including one from an outside facility — summarizes
key findings (declining EF, medication adjustment to carvedilol, recommendation for
repeat echo), and recommends next steps: schedule the overdue echo, verify
medication adherence, and reassess symptoms at today's visit.
Agentic Task Execution
AI agents handle clinical tasks on your behalf — drafting notes, generating referral summaries, preparing prior authorization justifications, and producing billing recommendations. RISA doesn't just inform. It executes — and queues everything for your review.
RISAChecks drug
interactions, verifies dosing against renal function, prepares the order, and queues
it for your review and approval.
- Draft clinical notes and referral summaries
- Generate prior authorization justifications
- Produce billing and coding recommendations
- Physician review and approval before any action is finalized
Answers you can check
- Grounded in the chart. Every claim is marked supported, unsupported or contradicted, with its source.
- Opens inside your EHR. Clinicians launch RISA from the patient they're already looking at.
- Plain-English questions. Ask the way you'd ask a colleague.
- Learns how you ask. It gets faster at anticipating what you need.
- Stays on-site. RISA runs on CIS, so PHI never leaves your network.
Tuned for your field
The same RISA, configured to bring forward what matters in each specialty.
Most of the EMRs are NOT designed to be easy to use for the clinician! ThetaRho delivers the information I need in one single interaction faster than I would be able to find it myself.Practicing physician
