We went to the Renal Physicians Association Annual Meeting in Atlanta not knowing quite what to expect. This was our first nephrology conference, and nephrology is a specialty where the documentation problem runs deep. Longitudinal care, complex lab trends, CKD staging across years of visits, dialysis session parameters. Every patient brings a long clinical history into every room.
What we found was that nephrologists knew exactly what they needed. And most of them had not found it yet.
Across every conversation at our booth, one thing surfaced before anything else. Pre-charting. The work that happens before the patient walks in: reviewing prior notes, pulling CKD progression data, tracking lab trends across visits, understanding what changed since the last appointment. For nephrologists seeing returning patients all day, this is not a minor inconvenience. It is a significant block of time that lands on the physician or their team every single day.
What struck us was how clearly nephrologists could describe the problem and how resigned many had become to it. Pre-charting was just part of the job. Something nobody had solved for.
That last part was what made the conversations at our booth interesting.

When we showed nephrologists that Marvix AI, already built and running, the reaction was genuine surprise and excitement. This was what most nephrologists were looking for and they now came to a realisation that they could now add hours from documentation back into their consultation
The Patient Recap pulls prior notes, lab trends, dialysis records, imaging, and other medical documents from the EHR and organises everything into a structured summary before the visit starts. If it exists in the chart, in any format, Marvix AI can read it, structure it, and surface it.
For a nephrologist whose returning patients carry years of fragmented history across multiple formats, that distinction matters. Walking into a visit with complete context is a different clinical experience from walking in and reconstructing it from memory while the patient waits.
What also delighted the nephrologists was the ability to customize. The pre-charting workflow in Marvix AI is fully customisable for nephrology, so the recap reflects the specific data points a nephrologist actually needs: eGFR trends, potassium and phosphorus levels, dialysis parameters, medication changes tied to lab shifts. Not a generic summary.
Most nephrologists at RPA were on Epic or Athena, with a few on Veradigm. Integration with their existing EHR was an important requirement for them, as an application without integration was just that - A tool!
When we showed that Marvix AI integrates with most of the EHRs, including the ones mentioned earlierthe conversation moved quickly from curiosity to implementation questions. Integration is where a lot of AI tools fall short in specialty care, and nephrologists have heard enough promises about it to be appropriately sceptical. Showing it working directly with their system changed the tone.
RPA draws nephrologists and practice administrators who come specifically to work through the clinical and operational challenges that define the specialty. The conversations we had were specific, considered, and honest. Physicians who had thought carefully about what was missing from their workflow and were looking for a real answer.
Pre-charting came up so consistently, and with such clarity, that it confirmed something we already believed: this is the unsolved problem in nephrology documentation. General AI scribes transcribe the visit. They do not assemble the clinical context that makes a nephrology visit work. Marvix AI was built to do both, and it was good to hear that land the way it did in Atlanta.
