LAS VEGAS, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MedTrainer, a leading provider of healthcare workforce compliance solutions, introduces AI Compliance Coach — a powerful, built-in chatbot that blends regulatory expertise with AI intelligence to deliver instant, accurate answers to compliance questions within the workflows teams already trust. It’s the latest step in MedTrainer’s mission to incorporate AI that adds real value — helping compliance teams work faster, with more clarity, and less administrative strain.

“The AI-powered Compliance Coach blends regulatory expertise with forward-thinking technology to give users immediate access to the specific information they need — not just in theory, but in practice,” said Brian Williams, MHA, MBA, Vice President of Compliance at MedTrainer.

“We built the AI Compliance Coach to solve a very real problem for healthcare organizations — getting the right answer, at the right time, without adding to the administrative burden,” said Steve Gallion, CEO of MedTrainer. “It’s not just about speed; it’s about confidence. Our goal is to give compliance teams a reliable, in-platform resource that makes their work easier and faster, and help them stay on top of evolving regulations.”

By embedding automation where it matters most, MedTrainer is building a smarter system that helps healthcare organizations stay audit-ready.

AI Compliance Coach Gives Healthcare Teams Instant Answers

The AI Compliance Coach delivers fast, trusted compliance information sourced from official regulations. Built on a secure large language model (LLM), it uses Chain of Thought reasoning developed by MedTrainer’s internal compliance team to analyze each question and return accurate, detailed guidance that’s easy to act on.

Healthcare teams can ask a wide range of questions, such as:

What are the latest CMS regulations for use of restraints in skilled nursing facilities?What are the sharps disposal requirements?How do I comply with E-Tags to avoid deficiencies?What are the best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections?

The LLM has been trained and tested by MedTrainer’s compliance experts to ensure that responses are specific, relevant, and aligned with what healthcare organizations actually need when seeking regulatory clarity. Answers are tailored to the user’s facility type and operational context, helping ensure the guidance they receive is immediately applicable. Whether identifying required training or clarifying a policy, the AI Compliance Coach helps teams move forward with greater clarity and fewer delays.

“The AI-powered Compliance Coach is designed to give users immediate access to the specific information they need — not just in theory, but in practice,” said Brian Williams, MHA, MBA, Vice President of Compliance at MedTrainer. “We’ve engineered the responses to pull from real standards and get to the point quickly with embedded connections to platform resources.”

Faster, Trusted Answers for Everyday Compliance Needs

The AI Compliance Coach brings immediate clarity to the day-to-day work of compliance. Embedded within MedTrainer’s healthcare compliance management system, it delivers fast, trustworthy answers based on current federal regulations — right when users need them. Instead of interpreting policies or consulting multiple sources, teams get clear, actionable guidance in one place.

This efficiency translates to more time for critical tasks and fewer interruptions in daily workflows. By removing complexity from compliance questions and enabling faster decisions, the AI Compliance Coach empowers healthcare professionals to work with greater speed, confidence, and focus.

Customers continue to have the same level of access to MedTrainer’s award-winning customer support agents, available through phone and email. The combination of the AI Compliance Coach and live customer support offers customers with the best of both words to meet their compliance needs.

Talkiatry Surpasses 2 Million Patient Visits and Expands Psychiatrist Workforce to Over 600

Published

Milestones highlight Talkiatry’s dedication to positive clinical outcomes, as more and more patients seek high-quality care from its full-time licensed psychiatrists

NEW YORK, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Talkiatry, the leading national provider of in-network psychiatric care, today announced it has reached two million patient visits since its launch in 2020, doubling its one million visits milestone from last year. After taking three and a half years to reach its first million visits, Talkiatry surpassed its second million visits in just 14 months, underscoring the growing demand for its high-quality, technology-enabled care.

In addition to this patient milestone, Talkiatry now employs more than 600 psychiatrists nationwide, making it the largest dedicated psychiatry practice in the U.S. The company’s software platform and practice model, which removes administrative burdens so psychiatrists can focus solely on patient care, has been instrumental in attracting and retaining top talent while ensuring patients receive consistent, high-quality, expert treatment.

“This milestone isn’t just about the number. It’s about the real people behind each visit who are receiving the care they need, often after struggling to find timely and affordable access to a psychiatrist. With over two million patient visits and a growing team of more than 600 psychiatrists, we are proving that technology and expert care delivery can work together to make high-quality psychiatric care more accessible without sacrificing patient outcomes or the patient experience,” said Robert Krayn, Co-Founder and CEO of Talkiatry.

Talkiatry previously published clinical findings demonstrating substantial improvements in patient outcomes: after an average of five appointments over 15 weeks, 67% of patients no longer had clinically significant anxiety symptoms, and 62% no longer had clinically significant depression symptoms. Additionally, 26% of patients with anxiety and 29% with depression achieved clinical remission of symptoms, demonstrating the company’s continued commitment to delivering measurable and sustained outcomes.

Addressing the Growing Crisis in Psychiatric Care Accessibility

Talkiatry’s clinicians reported 80% less burnout than average industry measures, underscoring the effectiveness of its unique model in supporting psychiatrists while significantly addressing the clinician shortage in psychiatric care.

With 60% of U.S. counties without a single practicing psychiatrist and a projected national deficit of up to 30,000 psychiatrists by 2030, millions of Americans continue to encounter significant obstacles to psychiatric care. Talkiatry is directly addressing this crisis through a scalable platform that provides patients access to board-certified psychiatrists, covered by insurance and without extended wait times.

The company’s rapid growth highlights the increasing reliance on virtual psychiatric care centered around positive clinical outcomes to bridge this gap. Talkiatry is leading this shift by delivering:

A dedicated psychiatrist workforce – Unlike other telehealth providers that rely on contract-based models, Talkiatry directly employs psychiatrists, ensuring better continuity of care and stronger patient-doctor relationships.Elimination of administrative burdens – Talkiatry’s provider-enablement platform streamlines complex workflows like scheduling, billing, credentialing, and patient coordination, allowing psychiatrists to focus fully on patient care.Greater flexibility without sacrificing stability – Talkiatry’s virtual practice model provides psychiatrists the flexibility of telehealth without the unpredictability of contractor-based platforms or private practice.

“We’ve built an ecosystem that allows psychiatrists to do what they love—focus on patient care—without the administrative headaches that drive so many doctors away from clinical practice,” said Dr. Georgia Gaveras, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Talkiatry. “Our patients see our singular focus on clinical excellence, and we’re proud to deliver on that promise.”

Shaping the Future of Psychiatry

Talkiatry’s success is not just measured in visits; it’s reflected in its ability to deliver high-quality psychiatric care at scale while enhancing both the patient and provider experience. As the company continues to grow, it remains committed to setting a new standard for psychiatry, deploying new technologies that expand access to care without compromising quality.

About Talkiatry
Talkiatry is a national mental health practice that provides in-network psychiatry and therapy. They were co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality mental healthcare. 60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low and paperwork is unduly burdensome. With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, Talkiatry provides patients with the care they need—and allows psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine.

Following the 2024 acquisition, all 4moms products — including the beloved MamaRoo® Smart Swing — will now live under the UPPAbaby name, marking a new era of unified innovation for growing families.

This strategic alignment strengthens UPPAbaby’s presence in the in-home category while expanding its mission to deliver intuitive, design-forward products that meet the evolving needs of modern parenthood.

The announcement was made at the recent ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas, NV, where UPPAbaby unveiled upcoming product developments and offered a first look at its expanded brand direction — one that blends 4moms’ innovative technology with UPPAbaby’s elevated designs and services. Highlights of the unveiling included the Cruz® V3 stroller, the Mesa® V3 and Aria™ V2 infant car seats, and the continued expansion into the in-home category with the new Mamaroo® and Soma™ — all part of UPPAbaby’s vision to deliver a full line of premium products that support parents from day one.

Over the next few months, 4moms operations—including customer support, product education, and warranty services—will begin transitioning into the UPPAbaby ecosystem. For now, you can continue shopping on 4moms.com while we gradually integrate both brands. 4moms favorites like the MamaRoo® will soon be available at UPPAbaby Hub Service Center and Showrooms, and supported by our same trusted team.
