Tempus Unveils Beta Version of olivia: Turning Personal Loss Into a Tool for Patient Empowerment

Navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming, especially when managing complex conditions, fragmented information, and multiple providers. It often requires patients and caregivers to juggle appointments, track symptoms, and coordinate care while staying informed about the latest treatments—all of which can be emotionally and physically exhausting.

Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a leader in using artificial intelligence to advance precision medicine, has announced the beta release of olivia, an AI-driven app designed to help patients manage and organize their health data more effectively. This innovative personal health concierge aims to empower individuals to take a proactive approach to their healthcare. Currently available to beta users, olivia employs generative AI to offer patients and caregivers personalized, concierge-style support in navigating their health journey.

The app consolidates and structures personal health information, helping users track symptoms, prepare for medical appointments, and much more. Tempus’ new solution addresses a major pain point in healthcare—patients often face the overwhelming task of managing fragmented health data across multiple providers and systems, a challenge that can be particularly difficult for those with chronic conditions. olivia bridges this gap by equipping users with tools to streamline their healthcare management and improve access to comprehensive treatment.

Key Features of olivia:

  • Provider Integration: Connect with healthcare providers across various systems to centralize health records, including clinical data, scans, molecular tests, and more, in one location.
  • Unified Health Profile: Build a singular profile that organizes and structures health data for easy sharing with clinicians.
  • Appointment Preparation: Gather key health information, questions, and documents to guide productive conversations with healthcare providers.
  • Health Monitoring: Log and monitor symptoms, sleep patterns, and diet to identify trends and maintain a health journal.

Additionally, olivia leverages generative AI to offer a personalized and secure experience. Users can ask questions directly within the app to gain insights into their health data, making it easier to understand complex information and take informed actions.

Eric Lefkofsky’s Reflection: The Heart Behind Olivia

“My motivation for founding Tempus in 2015 was deeply personal. I set out to create a solution that could keep someone with cancer alive—at the time, I thought that someone might be my wife. But as fate would have it, the person who inspired this mission turned out to be a 19-year-old friend of my daughter’s named Olivia. Olivia’s battle with cancer highlighted the overwhelming challenges patients face—juggling fragmented data, coordinating care, and navigating complex decisions.

In Olivia’s case, her loving family—Mark, Cindy, and Ava—stepped up to manage her care. They kept folders, created binders, and did everything they could to organize the flood of information coming their way. Yet despite their efforts, Olivia’s cancer proved too aggressive, and she passed away in the winter of 2021. Her loss left an indelible mark on me. Not being able to help her shattered my heart in a way that has never fully healed.

We named this app in honor of Olivia. It is born from the lessons learned from her journey and the countless others like hers—patients and caregivers navigating an overwhelming and often disjointed healthcare system. Olivia seeks to address a critical gap by providing patients with a tool to seamlessly organize and manage their healthcare information while offering personalized insights and support.”

A Vision for Better Patient Care

Eric Lefkofsky, emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing patient outcomes. “olivia exemplifies our mission by directly benefiting patients, enabling them to consolidate their healthcare data in one place to facilitate the best possible care,” Lefkofsky said. “By combining multimodal data aggregation with AI-powered insights, olivia ensures that individuals can navigate the complexities of modern healthcare with confidence.”

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integral to healthcare, tools like olivia aim to empower individuals and their families to make informed decisions and advocate for optimal care.
