What arrives

The email Healthcare teams work through every day

Appointment requests, referral letters and supplier mail arrive in one inbox, and the front desk sorts them by hand

Referral letters and results come as attachments that someone types into another system

An insurance claim needs the claim number, the policy and the dates before anyone can follow it up

Patients write in the language they are most comfortable in

When several people answer the practice inbox, a patient waits while each assumes another has replied

Patient information needs care about where it goes

Triage

Your Healthcare inbox, sorted the way you sort it

Kerna starts you with five categories built for this industry and hands them to you in your own language. Rename them, rewrite them, or add one of your own. Nothing is fixed and nothing is saved until you say so.

Replies drafted for staff to check

Kerna summarises the thread and drafts the reply in the patient's language and the tone you set. Your staff read it and send it.

Who has which email (Outlook)

In an Outlook shared mailbox, everyone on your Kerna team sees who is handling each email, where it stands, and when a colleague is already replying. Business and Enterprise.

What happens to the email

Kerna does not store the content of your emails: it is read when someone uses a feature and never written to our databases, logs or backups. Names and other details go to the AI provider as they appear; card numbers, IBANs and some national ID numbers in the email text are replaced first.

Writing

Frequently asked questions

Is Kerna HIPAA-compliant?

Kerna does not claim HIPAA compliance. The facts: Kerna acts only when someone uses a feature and never scans the mailbox in the background. The text a feature needs goes to OpenAI under Zero Data Retention terms, and Kerna does not write email content to its databases, logs or backups. Kerna's servers are in Belgium and account data is stored in Warsaw; OpenAI may process data in the US under Standard Contractual Clauses. The trust page and the DPA have the detail. Whether patient information may be processed this way is for your compliance team to decide.

Does Kerna make clinical decisions?

No. It sorts email, summarises threads, reads fields off documents and drafts replies. Every reply is a draft that a member of staff reads before it is sent.

Should patients be told that AI is used?

That is for your own policy. Patients never deal with Kerna directly: it drafts for your staff, and nothing is sent unless a person sends it. Kerna's settings include an AI-disclosure option.

Does it help with patients who write in other languages?

Yes. Kerna detects the language of the message and drafts the reply in it, in any of 45 languages.
