Six AI Agents. One Transparent Risk Verdict.
MATERA’s clinical intelligence comes from six purpose-built AI agents, each targeting a specific failure point in today’s maternal care pathway. Coordinated by a central Supervisor on IBM watsonx Orchestrate, they work in parallel to analyze every signal, apply the right clinical standard, escalate with precision, and communicate clearly all within a single, auditable platform.
Agent
Role
What It Does
Signal Intake
Normalizer / Enricher
Ingests BP readings, symptom SMS, EHR history, and gestational age from four parallel streams. Deduplicates, normalizes, and enriches every signal with patient context before analysis begins.
Risk & Surveillance
Watcher / Detector
Evaluates every blood pressure reading against the patient’s individual baseline and ACOG thresholds — including a postpartum time-window filter that auto-elevates risk during the critical days 0–14 window.
Symptom Triage
Language Interpreter
Uses natural language understanding to parse patient-submitted symptom reports — headache, vision changes, epigastric pain — and extracts structured clinical entities that flag preeclampsia warning signs.
Gestational Context
Clinical Rule Engine
Applies the correct ACOG clinical threshold based on gestational stage — differentiating third-trimester risk from postpartum risk, so no presentation is measured against the wrong standard.
Clinical Escalation
Pager / Action Taker
Pages the on-call OB directly via Microsoft Teams within seconds of a high-severity verdict, and automatically books a telehealth appointment — closing the 72+ hour hand-off gap.
Care Navigator
Communicator
Sends the patient a plain-language SMS immediately after escalation: what happened, what to do right now, who will call and when, and when to go to Labor & Delivery if symptoms worsen.
