For Hospitals
Medical device, in evaluationPost-surgical recovery, observed.
A structured follow-up layer for cardiothoracic surgery and other high-acuity discharges. Daily patient check-ins, transparent rule-based prioritisation, one prioritised clinical list for the nursing team.

Not a medical deviceBetter prep. Lists that run on time.
Pre-procedure pathways for endoscopy and other specialty clinics. Multichannel reach by SMS and email into a patient web-app, diabetic, anticoagulant, and GLP-1 overlays, recall management, fewer phone calls to the front desk.

One engine. Two doorways.
A composable pathway engine, applied twice.
Every Aescia pathway is a sequence of five step types: Collect a structured signal, Follow a clinician-authored rule, Remind the patient, Educate at the right moment, Export the structured record. We build the engine once and apply it to the two moments where care most often falls apart: the week after discharge, and the week before a scheduled procedure.

Why this, why now.
01
Transparent by design
Rule-based prioritisation, authored by clinicians. No opaque models. Every flag is explainable to the nurse it lands with and to the committee that asks.
02
Clinician-authored
Pathways are written by practising surgeons, gastroenterologists, and nurses. We do not ship a disease we did not learn from the people who treat it.
03
Two products, one engine
A regulated pathway for surgical recovery and a workflow pathway for procedural clinics share the same authoring layer, the same audit trail, the same team.
Where we are today
Clinical programme in active enrolment.
The SAFE-Discharge trial is a single-centre evaluation of Aescia for post-cardiothoracic-surgery discharge monitoring at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital cardiothoracic unit in Sydney. A 50-patient interim cohort is pre-specified, followed by a 500-patient main cohort, 550 patients total. Led by Dr Kei Woldendorp, Principal Investigator. Aescia for Hospitals has an intended Class IIa classification under TGA Rule 3.4; a regulatory submission is in preparation. Aescia for Clinics is a workflow tool that does not propose clinical decisions and is not a medical device.
