The right provider, found by your phone.
A hospital or clinic can hold dozens of providers under one roof, and tying an encounter to the exact clinician who did the work is guesswork after the fact. Parousya lets the patient's phone identify the correct provider by proximity, route payment through a central server, and leave the payer a verified record of who was seen, where, and when.
Many providers, one building
Across a day a patient may see several teams in several rooms. Attributing each encounter to the exact provider, after the fact and on paper, is where the record drifts from what actually happened.
Payment reconciled by hand
Matching a payment or a claim to the correct recipient is manual and slow, and the money often moves long after the visit. Every hop is a place for the wrong account to be paid.
The payer wants proof, not assertion
An insurer needs evidence of who actually delivered care, captured at the point of care, not a code typed in later. Without it, claims stall and disputes follow.
The phone finds the provider
Each provider broadcasts a short range signal over a transport such as Bluetooth Low Energy, with ultra wideband available where room level precision is needed. The patient's phone detects the nearest one and resolves the correct provider among many.
Payment routes itself
Once the pairing is made, payment routes automatically through the central server to the right recipient under parent patent US10657515B2. The two devices never connect directly, and nothing moves until it should.
A verified record for the payer
The server holds proof of who delivered care at that place and time. The insurer receives a verified record rather than an assertion entered afterwards, which is exactly what shortens a claim.
Identification without a transaction
Confirming that a patient or a provider is present does not have to trigger a charge. Identification without payment is one of the capabilities added by divisional patent US11392923B2, so presence can be recorded on its own.
Common questions
- How does a patient's phone find the right provider?
- Every provider broadcasts a short range wireless signal, and the phone detects the nearest match. Where two providers stand close together, a fine ranging transport such as ultra wideband separates them.
- How does payment reach the correct recipient?
- The pairing between patient and provider is registered with a central server, and payment routes through that server under parent patent US10657515B2. The devices never connect directly, so the right account is paid without manual matching.
- What does the insurer actually receive?
- A verified record of who delivered the service, captured at the point of care. It is evidence of the encounter rather than a claim reconstructed later.
- Can the method identify a patient without charging them?
- Yes. Identification without a transaction is a capability of divisional patent US11392923B2, so presence can be confirmed for check in or records where no payment is due.
