Patent Pending

Catch prep problems before they cost the procedure.

Colonoscopy and endoscopy prep — for gastroenterology practices and endoscopy centers

Track protocol, medication holds, clearances and completion for every scheduled patient.

  • Procedure date, arrival time and the NPO cutoff, in the patient's own words
  • The prep they were actually prescribed, with a countdown to the day
  • Step-by-step instructions, with each step checked off as it is done
  • Medication guidance, care team documents, consent and procedure codes in one place
The Prep Navigator patient portal, showing the scheduled colonoscopy, the assigned prep, a countdown to the procedure, prep progress, and links to instructions, medication guidance, care team documents and insurance information.

Pickup and medication holds

Every step arrives with its date.

The schedule is built backwards from the procedure date, so what to buy and what to stop each land on a named day rather than arriving as a rule the patient has to apply themselves.

  • Prescription pickup is a step of its own, dated — seven days before is Friday, August 28, not "about a week ahead"
  • The over-the-counter items the office recommends are listed on that same step, such as simethicone and bisacodyl
  • A hold carries the rule and the date it resolves to — hold five days before, so hold by August 30 — with the drug class named beside it
  • Critical reminders kept in front of the patient: a responsible adult for the whole procedure, photo ID and insurance card, no driving afterwards
A prep instructions screen showing a highlighted card to hold Clopidogrel, tagged antiplatelet, marked as the next step, with hold five days before and a hold date of August 30, above a completed prescription-pickup step dated Friday, August 28 that lists the over-the-counter items the office recommends: simethicone 320mg and bisacodyl 15mg.

Prep assistant

Questions do not wait for office hours.

A prep assistant that already knows which preparation the patient was prescribed, available at whatever hour the question actually occurs to them.

  • Knows which preparation the patient was prescribed, and answers against that
  • Gives the medication, the date, and the interval the date came from
  • States up front that it is guidance only, not a substitute for medical advice
  • Tells the patient to call the care team, or 911, about urgent concerns
The in-app AI prep assistant answering the question what medication do I need to hold and when, replying that Clopidogrel must be stopped today, Sunday, August 30, 2026, which is five days before the procedure, and directing questions about other medications to the care team.

The rest of what the patient sees, screen by screen.
