Problem - Knowledge Couplers
PKC Corporation grew out of the singular vision of its founder, Lawrence L. Weed, M.D.
In the eighties, PKC developed software for realizing Dr. Weed's idea of "coupling" patient information with medical literature. Over the next decade, we perfected techniques for methodically extracting information from a broad spectrum of the medical literature and we assembled a top-flight team to review that literature, populate PKC's medical database, and draw connections between symptoms, conditions, and treatments.
Since 1992, we have released two new versions of Couplers each year. We also build custom versions of our software to meet the specific needs of the Department of Defense.
With the release in 2004 of our Web-based software service, users (including healthcare consumers) can access 20 years of valuable medical content using the Internet, "couple" it to the details of their personal health history, and produce an invaluable, comprehensive roadmap for themselves and their providers.
Moving into the future, PKC will continue to take advantage of the latest technology to help improve the effectiveness of healthcare and reduce its cost.
