AST Labs

The home for healthcare AI experiments at AST

We build AI-native tools that erase the documentation and billing burden burning out clinical teams — and we build them in the open.

About AST Labs

AST Labs is the innovation unit of All Star Technology — where we turn 17 years of healthcare engineering into products we own. We start with the sharpest pain in rehabilitation therapy, ship small sharp experiments, and grow the ones that clinicians actually keep using.

The experiments

Be the first to experiment

Numbered, statused, and honest — kept if clinicians love them, killed if they don't.

Flagship · Building

Medexa

The AI documentation and billing layer purpose-built for rehab therapy. Sits on top of the EMR you already run — it doesn't replace it. The four experiments below ship inside it.

EXP-001 · Building

Ambient Note Generation

Therapy-aware ambient scribing. The session is captured, the note drafts itself in the clinic's own format, and the clinician signs. Rehab context built in — not generic transcription.

EXP-002 · Building

59-Modifier Engine

The most misapplied modifier in therapy billing, automated — distinct procedural service logic checked against documentation before the claim ever leaves the building.

EXP-003 · Validating

8-Minute Rule Automation

Medicare's unit math, computed inside the documentation workflow instead of in a clinician's head at 6pm. Accurate units, protected revenue, zero mental arithmetic.

EXP-004 · Concept

Claims Command Center

End-to-end claim tracking with rejection handling and resubmission logic — the manual spreadsheet-and-phone-call process most practices run today, turned into software.

The Build Log

What we're testing, what worked, what didn't. Published as we go on the AST blog — because planting the flag in public is half the experiment.

The Lab

A lab with production discipline.

The AST team collaborating in the studio

Born inside a 17-year healthcare shop.

AST Labs runs separately from client delivery, but it inherits everything that matters: the EMR scar tissue, the HIPAA-first habits, and engineers who have shipped inside live care networks — not around them.

/01Pain firstEvery experiment starts from a burnout-grade pain point in a real therapy workflow — never from a technology looking for a use.
/02Three-week experimentsA three-week test beats a three-month plan. We ship the smallest thing that can prove or kill an idea.
/03Built in the openProgress, findings and dead ends — published while the product is still being built.
/04Healthcare onlyNo vertical tourism. We build where our domain depth is unfair.
