About Unknown Sources

The Origin of “Unknown Sources”

In healthcare IT, there's a persistent challenge that every clinician knows too well. When patient records arrive from external facilities, they often appear with that frustrating label: “Unknown Source” - a digital shrug that offers no context about where critical information originated.

Picture this: A patient arrives at an emergency department. Their medical history exists in fragments across different healthcare systems. As records transfer between EHRs, vital context gets stripped away. Lab results appear without reference ranges. Medication lists arrive without prescriber details. Diagnoses emerge without supporting documentation.

What should be seamless interoperability becomes a frustrating game of clinical detective work. Each piece of data arrives like an anonymous tip - potentially valuable but impossible to fully trust without proper attribution.

“Unknown Sources” was born from this daily reality. The name acknowledges the problem your startup solves: transforming those faceless “Unknown Source” labels into richly contextualized, trustworthy information exchanges. Our LLM technology doesn't just transfer data - it preserves its full provenance and meaning.

The name carries a clever double meaning too. In smartphone settings, “Unknown Sources” is what users must enable to install applications from outside official channels - much like how our platform creates pathways for information to flow outside rigid, traditional systems.

“Unknown Sources” - because healthcare data shouldn't be a mystery novel where critical parts of the story are missing.
