vs Klara
Choosing the Right Patient Engagement & Marketing Platform
Patient Engagement
Automation to reduce staff burden by making phone calls, sending sms, email, plus other communication outlets
Analog Informatics takes Patient Engagement to the next level. Utilizing powerful artificial intelligence to read events as they happen in the EMR, we can replace FTE’s and connect patients/caregivers and their doctors in any language without any effort from your medical practice.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Replace FTEs
- Messaging in multiple languages
Without the help of artificial intelligence, Klara is unable to react to events as they happen in the EMR which results in more management and work for FTEs.
- No Artificial Intelligence
- Cannot Replace FTEs
- No multi-language support
Multi-Language Support
Communicate with an increasingly diverse population. Comply with new Health Equity legislation.
Analog Informatics supports multiple languages for ever increasing international communities

Reputation Management
Reviews are the number one marketing tool. Medical establishments with the highest number of positive reviews gain the most exposure to new patients.
With AI, Analog Informatics completely frees your staff from sending and responding to reviews so your staff can focus on patient care. More time means more patients.
- AI automatically reads the EMR to send reviews
- AI responds to reviews using human-like language
Klara does not utilize AI to send or respond to reviews. Staff must manually enter the Klara app to respond to reviews which takes time away from FTEs and patients.
- No Artificial Intelligence
- Cannot respond automatically
