About
Annalis is an AI-powered case intelligence platform that helps attorneys evaluate medical cases in minutes and connect with the right physician experts — all in one place.
The problem
Medical-legal cases generate thousands of pages of records. Today, getting those records reviewed means cold-calling physicians, shipping boxes of unstructured documents, negotiating retainers over email, chasing W-9s, and waiting weeks for a callback — all before anyone knows whether the case has merit.

On the expert side, physicians receive massive document dumps with no chronology, no context, and no structure. They spend hours sorting records before they can apply any clinical judgment. Engagement letters are cobbled together from templates shared in Facebook groups. Payment is uncertain. The whole process is manual, fragmented, and expensive for everyone involved.

Why existing AI doesn’t solve this
The emerging AI tools don’t solve it either. Dragging medical records into a general-purpose chatbot doesn’t work. These documents are too large, too complex, and too sensitive. A useful analysis requires clinical training — understanding what constitutes a standard-of-care deviation, how causation chains work in medical malpractice, what opposing counsel will argue, and which findings are clinically defensible versus speculative.
That’s not something an untrained model can do.
Document size
Generic AI
Context window limits. Truncates or ignores most of the record.
Annalis
Parallel processing. Every page analyzed regardless of size.
Clinical training
Generic AI
Summarizes text. Can't distinguish defensible findings from speculation.
Annalis
Methodology from a practicing surgeon. SOC deviations, causation, defense arguments.
PHI protection
Generic AI
No redaction. Patient data sent to third-party servers.
Annalis
Auto-redacts PII before processing. HIPAA compliant. BAA available.
What we built
Annalis is purpose-built for medical-legal case evaluation. Our AI handles documents of any size, automatically redacts PHI, and delivers a structured analysis — medical chronology, standard-of-care flags with severity ratings and page references, causation mapping, damages indicators, and deposition questions — in minutes.
The analysis engine was developed with clinical methodology from a practicing surgeon who has reviewed cases as an expert witness. It doesn’t just summarize — it identifies what’s clinically defensible, anticipates opposing counsel’s arguments, and flags the findings that matter.
On top of the AI, we built a two-sided marketplace connecting attorneys with vetted physician experts. When attorneys share a case, the expert receives the records pre-analyzed. Retainers are collected upfront through the platform. Time tracking, invoicing, and payment are built in.

Founder
Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon·Chair of Orthopedics, Medical City Dallas
Anup has served as an expert witness reviewing medical-legal cases across orthopedic surgery, trauma, and post-surgical complications. Through that work — receiving unstructured record dumps, navigating engagement letters and retainers, coordinating with attorneys across jurisdictions — he saw firsthand how manual and fragmented the process was on both sides.
He built Annalis to solve the problems he experienced: document sizes too large for existing tools, no standardized analysis methodology, no platform connecting the two sides efficiently, and no AI trained to think the way a physician actually reviews a case.
