Tempus’ generative AI-enabled clinical assistant is designed to support providers in unlocking new insights and efficiencies

Northwestern Medicine and Tempus AI, Inc. announced a notable expansion of their longstanding collaboration. Northwestern Medicine will be the first health system to integrate David, Tempus’ generative-AI clinical co-pilot, within its electronic health record (EHR) platform for its clinical care team. The expanded collaboration marks a new chapter in the organizations’ shared commitment to harnessing data and AI to advance patient care.

Building on almost a decade of collaboration at the forefront of data-driven healthcare, Northwestern Medicine and Tempus are now pioneering the next generation of clinical decision support. Deploying David directly into the EHR empowers Northwestern Medicine’s clinical teams with real-time, AI-enabled insights at every point of care, all in an effort to streamline complex treatment decisions, reduce administrative burden, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.With this integration, clinical teams will be able to:

  • Build custom AI agents tailored to Northwestern Medicine’s unique workflows, further enhancing efficiency and care quality.
  • Query patient data across the EHR using natural language, surfacing relevant information in seconds.
  • Automate pre-appointment preparation, with AI-generated patient summaries and treatment histories.
  • Receive real-time support during appointments, including intelligent note-taking and key information highlights.
  • Streamline post-appointment tasks, such as documentation, treatment planning, prior authorizations, and clinical trial matching.

“Through this expanded collaboration, we will have the ability to thoughtfully deploy AI in a way that will enhance our ability to provide care to our patients,” said Howard Chrisman, MD, president and chief executive officer, Northwestern Memorial HealthCare. “Providing our physicians and clinical care teams with data and relevant information in real-time, tailored to each patient, is the next leap forward in the delivery of care.”

“Northwestern Medicine was our first genomic sequencing partner almost ten years ago, and together we led the field into generating multimodal data at scale. A decade later, we are now embarking on a new chapter that will demonstrate how generative AI can transform the way healthcare is delivered,” said Eric Lekfofsky, Founder and CEO at Tempus. “The integration of David into Northwestern Medicine’s EHR is a major step forward in our mission to connect multiple data modalities and deliver actionable insights in real time.”
