About KeisenVPA

Built by a Physician, for Physicians

KeisenVPA was created by a practicing internal medicine physician who spent over a decade searching for a better way to document patient encounters. This is that solution.

The Quest for the Holy Grail

In May 2014, at MIT's healthcare hackathon in Boston, a young physician had a single goal: build something that would write his notes for him.

The frustration was universal among clinicians. Documenting patient encounters is time-consuming, tedious, and pulls attention away from what matters most: face-to-face communication with patients.

"I wish I had an app to write my notes for me."
— The problem that started it all

That weekend, working alongside some of health tech's most ambitious entrepreneurs, a prototype was born. The project won First Place at the hackathon — but more importantly, it proved the concept was possible. The technology of 2014 wasn't ready, but the vision was clear.

What followed was a decade of iteration. Not in a lab, but in exam rooms, emergency departments, and ICUs. Each patient encounter revealed what worked, what didn't, and what was still missing. Through years of clinical practice, the software and hardware combination slowly took shape — purpose-built for the singular task of fully automated clinical documentation.

Founder & Practicing Internal Medicine Physician

Dr. Omar Metwally is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician with over 11 years of clinical experience across diverse healthcare settings. He attended a Clinical Informatics Fellowship at UCSF, where he developed expertise in healthcare technology and authored DDASH, a blockchain-based healthcare data sharing platform.

He left the fellowship to start his own company, Analog Labs, where as Principal Investigator he earned a $225,000 National Science Foundation grant for a self-initiated research project studying distributed manufacturing systems. He has published research in peer-reviewed medical journals and holds a US patent for analytical instrumentation.

His clinical experience spans high-acuity environments including COVID-19 units, emergency departments, and intensive care units. He continues to practice medicine full-time, using KeisenVPA daily in his own patient encounters.

Philosophy of Care, Built Into Software

Healthcare should be about human connection. Technology should serve that goal, not obstruct it. KeisenVPA was built on the belief that documentation tools should be invisible — working in the background so clinicians can be fully present with patients.

Every design decision reflects years of firsthand experience: understanding what clinicians actually need, what wastes their time, and what matters for patient care. This isn't software built by engineers who interviewed doctors. It's software built by a doctor who codes.

🔐

Privacy First

Audio transcription runs locally — your recordings never leave your device. AI features use HIPAA-compliant API with BAA coverage included.

🎯

Clinical Accuracy

Medical documentation has specific requirements. KeisenVPA generates properly structured H&P and SOAP notes because it was built by someone who writes them.
