🏆 IFEM VITA AWARD WINNER 2026

REX: Post-Discharge Companion for Emergency Departments

IFEM Visionary Industry Technology Award Winner 2026. An evidence-informed AI companion designed to support patients after Emergency Department discharge. REX helps reduce post-discharge uncertainty, strengthen understanding of discharge information and provide accessible support when questions arise. Available 24/7 in multiple languages.

Post-discharge uncertainty can drive avoidable re-attendance

What We See

Patients leave ED tired, often unclear on their discharge information. They go home and worry: "Is this normal? Should I go back?" Without clear support, uncertainty can drive avoidable returns or delayed help-seeking.

Language barriers, literacy levels, and cognitive load during discharge compound the problem. Written instructions aren't always understood or retained.

What REX Does

REX provides 24/7 post-discharge information and navigation support in plain language. Patients can ask questions, clarify their understanding of discharge information, and understand the safety-netting information they have been given and when to seek further professional or urgent help. REX does not replace clinical judgment — it supports patients in understanding and acting on the advice they have already received.

Multilingual support in 11 languages: English, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Bengali, Urdu, Swahili, Luganda, and Runyankitara.

REX is free at point of use. REX does not store conversation history after the session ends — designed to protect the privacy of vulnerable patients.
