AI Transparency Disclosure
We believe you have the right to know how artificial intelligence is used in the tools you trust with your patients' care. This page provides complete transparency about our AI features.
Last Updated: 01/07/2026
Our Core Commitment
We do not use your patient data to train AI models. All AI processing is performed by HIPAA-compliant providers bound by Business Associate Agreements. Your data is used only to provide services to you—never for model training, never sold, never shared for advertising.
AI Features in Joyera
Each AI feature below includes details about its purpose, the data it uses, how models are trained, and human oversight mechanisms.
Clinical Documentation Assistant
Purpose
Generates draft clinical notes, SOAP documentation, IEP progress notes, and therapy session summaries from provider dictation or session transcripts.
Data Used
- Audio recordings or transcripts of clinical sessions (with patient/guardian consent)
- Patient demographics and clinical history
- Provider preferences and documentation style
- Billing codes and service types
Training Data
Uses commercial AI models (commercial AI models) trained on publicly available clinical documentation examples and medical literature. No Joyera customer data is used to train these models.
Human Oversight
All AI-generated documentation requires review and approval by a licensed healthcare professional before being finalized. The provider has full editing capability and bears sole responsibility for the final clinical record.
Demographic Factors
Age and diagnosis may influence documentation templates and suggested ICD-10 codes. No race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic factors influence clinical suggestions.
Billing Code Suggestion
Purpose
Suggests appropriate CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes based on clinical documentation to support accurate medical billing.
Data Used
- Clinical session notes and documentation
- Service type and duration
- Patient diagnosis and treatment goals
- Payer requirements and coverage rules
Training Data
Uses commercial AI models trained on publicly available medical coding guidelines (CMS, AMA CPT manuals). Code suggestions are based on official coding rules, not historical billing patterns.
Human Oversight
All code suggestions are presented as recommendations only. Providers must verify and select appropriate codes. The billing professional or provider is solely responsible for code accuracy and compliance.
AI Chat Assistant (Joy)
Purpose
Provides conversational assistance for scheduling, patient lookup, task management, billing inquiries, and general practice workflow support.
Data Used
- Conversation history within the current session
- Practice calendar and appointment data
- Patient demographics (name, DOB, contact info)
- Task and billing status information
Training Data
Uses commercial AI models (commercial AI models) with Joyera-specific prompts for healthcare workflows. No customer data is used for model training. Practice-specific knowledge (protocols, SOPs) may be retrieved from practice knowledge base when enabled.
Human Oversight
Users can review all AI responses, request clarification, or override AI suggestions. All actions (scheduling, task creation) require explicit user confirmation before execution.
Transcription Services
Purpose
Converts audio recordings of clinical sessions into text transcripts for documentation purposes.
Data Used
- Audio recordings of clinical sessions
- Speaker identification metadata
- Session date and time
Training Data
Uses commercial speech-to-text services (commercial speech-to-text services) trained on general speech data. Customer audio is processed in real-time and not retained for training by these providers under our Business Associate Agreements.
Human Oversight
Providers can review and correct transcripts before use. Transcripts are marked as AI-generated until reviewed.
Practice Knowledge Retrieval (RAG)
Purpose
Retrieves relevant protocols, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and clinical guidelines from practice-uploaded documents to assist with clinical decision-making.
Data Used
- Practice-uploaded documents (protocols, SOPs, guidelines)
- User query context
- Session and patient context
Training Data
No external training. Uses practice-provided documents only. Retrieval is based on semantic similarity matching.
Human Oversight
Practice administrators control which documents are indexed. Retrieved information is presented as reference material, not clinical directives. Clinical judgment remains with the provider.
Denial Management & Appeal Assistance
Purpose
Analyzes insurance claim denials and suggests appeal strategies, generates draft appeal letters based on denial reasons and clinical documentation.
Data Used
- Claim submission data and denial reasons
- Clinical documentation supporting medical necessity
- Payer-specific appeal requirements
- Historical appeal outcomes (anonymized)
Training Data
Uses commercial AI models with Joyera-specific prompts. Appeal strategies are based on CMS guidelines, payer policies, and general healthcare billing best practices.
Human Oversight
All appeal letters require review by billing staff or providers before submission. Final appeal decisions rest with the practice.
Appointment Scheduling Optimization
Purpose
Suggests optimal appointment times based on provider availability, patient preferences, and historical scheduling patterns.
Data Used
- Provider calendars and availability rules
- Patient scheduling preferences
- Appointment type and duration requirements
- Historical no-show patterns (anonymized)
Training Data
Uses rule-based algorithms and commercial AI models. No patient-specific predictions about attendance are made.
Human Oversight
All scheduling suggestions require confirmation by staff or patients. No appointments are automatically booked without human approval.
Email Campaign Content Generation
Purpose
Generates draft content for patient communication campaigns (appointment reminders, health education, practice updates).
Data Used
- Campaign purpose and target audience
- Practice information and branding
- General patient communication templates
Training Data
Uses commercial AI models trained on general marketing and healthcare communication best practices. No patient-specific data influences content generation.
Human Oversight
All campaign content must be reviewed and approved by practice staff before sending. Recipients can opt out of marketing communications.
AI Principles & Policies
Our AI Principles
Joyera's use of artificial intelligence is guided by principles of transparency, safety, and human oversight. We believe AI should enhance—not replace—the clinical judgment of healthcare professionals.
- Assistive, Not Autonomous: All AI features are designed as assistive tools. No AI system makes clinical decisions, diagnoses patients, or takes actions without human review and approval.
- Data Privacy: We do not use patient data (PHI) to train AI models. Our AI providers are bound by HIPAA Business Associate Agreements that prohibit using customer data for training.
- Transparency: AI-generated content is clearly labeled. Users always know when they are interacting with AI-generated suggestions versus human-created content.
- Human Override: Users can always edit, reject, or override AI suggestions. The AI serves the human, not the other way around.
- Continuous Improvement: We monitor AI performance, collect user feedback, and regularly update our AI systems to improve accuracy and reduce errors.
- Bias Mitigation: We actively work to identify and mitigate bias in AI outputs. Clinical suggestions are based on medical evidence, not demographic assumptions.
AI Providers and Data Processing
Joyera uses HIPAA-compliant AI providers, all of which have signed Business Associate Agreements. All AI processing occurs on servers located in the United States. No patient data is transferred internationally or used for model training.
Limitations and Risks
While we strive for accuracy, AI systems have inherent limitations:
- Hallucinations: AI models may occasionally generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information. Always verify AI suggestions against clinical knowledge.
- Incomplete Context: AI has access only to information provided in the current session. It may lack context from other sources.
- Not Medical Advice: AI suggestions are not medical advice. Clinical decisions must be made by licensed professionals.
- Evolving Technology: AI capabilities and limitations change over time. We regularly update our disclosures as technology evolves.
