Color Health built an LLM-powered 'Cancer Copilot' to assist with the workup of patients newly diagnosed with cancer. Color reports more than 95% concordance with guidelines on a dataset of anonymized real-world patients at UCSF Health.

Reported outcomes

guideline concordance
> 95% on anonymized real-world UCSF Health patients
Source [1] · self-reported

Outcomes are reported exactly as stated by the source; we have not independently audited them.

How it works

  1. Extracts explicit decision factors from the patient record.
  2. Applies declarative guideline logic to recommend workup steps.
  3. Produces an explanatory summary with a reasoning chain and guideline references, designed for expert review.

Risks & compliance

  • Clinical decision support; not medical advice
  • Evaluation was on a retrospective dataset

Healthcare cases cover operational and commercial workflows. Nothing here is medical advice or a claim about a device's or drug's efficacy.
