NAPLES, Fla., Sept. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK), a leader in patient-centric healthcare technology, today announced the submission of two new U.S. patent applications, further expanding the company’s intellectual property portfolio and reinforcing its position as a pioneer in secure medical record access, appointment scheduling, and AI-driven care management.
HealthLynked has a history of filing forward-looking patents in healthcare technology, including early innovations in AI care management at the onset of large language models several years ago. These new filings continue that tradition, focusing on two critical advancements designed to improve security, accessibility, and patient experience:
- Universal Patient Identifier (UPIN):
A breakthrough system that creates a unique patient medical record identifier without relying on Social Security numbers. By eliminating the use of SSNs, this approach helps protect patients from identity theft while enabling seamless connectivity across all electronic medical record (EMR) platforms. The result is a more secure and comprehensive way to unify patient health records, regardless of provider or system. - AI Appointment Scheduling Agent:
A multilingual, AI-powered healthcare agent that not only books appointments across providers, specialties, and insurance networks, but also takes into account a patient’s medical history and preferences. This intelligent system interacts directly with medical offices—across multiple languages—to identify the most appropriate providers, confirm insurance participation, and secure appointments. By combining clinical context with advanced language capabilities, the agent delivers a personalized, frictionless scheduling experience for patients while easing administrative burdens for providers.
“These new patent filings build upon our long-term vision to transform how patients engage with the healthcare system,” said Dr. Michael Dent, CEO of HealthLynked. “By anticipating how AI would reshape healthcare years ago, we’ve positioned ourselves with a strong intellectual property foundation. These innovations extend that leadership, aligning with national initiatives to create a secure, patient-driven, and fully connected healthcare network.”
HealthLynked’s growing portfolio of proprietary technologies underscores its mission to empower patients with secure access to their health data, streamline care coordination, and reduce healthcare costs through technology-driven efficiency.
