Lab status · EXP-001 in build

Your clinicians didn't train for paperwork.

AST Labs builds AI-native clinical tools that erase the documentation and billing burden for rehabilitation therapy teams — ambient notes, billing intelligence and claims automation, engineered inside a 17-year healthcare software shop.

The experiments

Small, sharp tools. Shipped, measured, kept or killed.

We don't build platforms first. We build the four things that hurt therapy operators the most — each one an experiment with a number, a status and a reason to exist.

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 with a template on top.

rehab-specific · clinician signs every note
EXP-002 Building

59-Modifier Engine

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

fewer denials · audit-ready reasoning
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.

Where they're headed

Four experiments. One product: Medexa.

Medexa is the AI documentation and billing layer purpose-built for rehabilitation and therapy workflows. It sits on top of the EMR you already run — it doesn't ask you to replace it.

How the lab works

Move fast, in public, in healthcare only.

/01

Pain first

We never lead with technology. Every experiment starts from a burnout-grade pain point in a real therapy workflow.

/02

Three-week experiments

A three-week test beats a three-month plan. We ship the smallest thing that can prove or kill an idea.

/03

Built in the open

We plant the flag before the product is finished — progress, findings and dead ends, published as we go.

/04

Healthcare only

No fintech detours, no vertical tourism. We build where we have 17 years of domain scar tissue.

Born inside AST

A lab with production discipline.

AST Labs is the innovation unit of All Star Technology — the team that has spent 17 years building EMR systems, clinical integrations and HIPAA-compliant platforms that run inside real care networks.

“The tools clinicians deserve won't come from people who've never shipped inside a care network. We have — for 17 years. Labs is where we turn that into products we own.”
