Verifiable from start to finish

From a question to an answer you can check

Buddy combines ease of use with fixed control points. It is designed to make local knowledge accessible, not to invent medical policy independently.

1. Ask in Teams

A staff member asks in plain language.

2. Privacy check

Unsafe patient or personal information is stopped.

3. Select organization sources

Only relevant passages from connected documents are used.

4. Answer with source

The user gets a concise answer and can open the protocol.

Your knowledge remains authoritative

Connect the documents your organization already manages

Administrators decide which sources are available. Synchronization retrieves supported documents and keeps an indexed copy within the agreed organization boundary.

Managed documents

Add and maintain protocols directly in Buddy.

SharePoint

Connect selected sites and document libraries through Microsoft.

Google Drive

Synchronize documents from configured folders.

Zenya

Retrieve and normalize supported bulk exports.

Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program

Built for the Microsoft environment used by healthcare organizations

Educurv participates in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. Buddy works with Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Entra, and Azure services so usage and administration fit a familiar enterprise environment.

Frequently asked questions

Does Buddy provide independent medical advice?+

No. Protocol answers are composed from selected passages in connected organization documents. If there is not enough support, Buddy says so clearly.

What happens when someone enters patient information?+

For protocol questions, Buddy checks the input before it reaches memory, AI processing, or protocol tools. Unsafe input is blocked with a safe warning.

Which knowledge sources can be connected?+

Buddy supports managed documents, SharePoint, Google Drive, and Zenya. The organization selects and configures its available sources.

Can capabilities be managed per organization?+

Yes. Authorized administrators can manage protocols, VIM, demo content, document sources, and message retention.

Does VIM guidance register directly in our incident system?+

Buddy guides and validates preparation of the report. The final connection to an existing incident system is configured per organization.

Is Buddy GDPR or NEN 7510 certified?+

Buddy is designed with privacy, source, and administration controls that support healthcare organizations. Compliance of the complete setup also depends on organizational configuration, processes, and agreements.
