> Reading a patient file is detective work — AI does it in hours, not days.

Optimaite Law reads extensive patient records (often 500+ pages), extracts diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-10, OPS), compares treatment steps against AWMF guidelines and identifies potential errors. Pain-and-suffering ranges are suggested per BGH VI ZR practice.

## Signature workflows

### Spot treatment errors from the record

AI marks deviations from standard (delayed diagnostics, wrong dosing, missing informed consent) with AWMF guideline reference.

### MDK expert-opinion request

From file content the AI drafts a structured MDK request with concrete questions — faster, more targeted, higher success rate.

### Pain-and-suffering estimate per BGH VI ZR

From injury profile and recovery the AI suggests a range with three comparator cases.

## FAQs
### GDPR specifics for patient data?

Patient data is a special category (GDPR Art. 9). Optimaite processes it exclusively on-prem or in German data centers, with extended audit log and pseudonymisation option.

### Can image files (X-ray, MRI) be integrated?

Yes. DICOM files are filed in the matter with indexed metadata; the AI does not produce diagnostic readings — that stays with the expert.
