How It Works — Epieme

Epieme handles the complexity so you don't have to

We built a three-phase system that ingests raw data from every state, processes it through layered AI filters, and delivers only the bills that genuinely affect patient safety.

01 — Ingest

Pull data from every source, every day

Our crawlers pull daily from the LegiScan API covering all 50 states, monitor Change.org for grassroots patient safety petitions, and scrape official state legislature sites as a fallback source. The cycle runs every 72 hours so nothing slips through the cracks.

02 — Process

AI classification with human-grade precision

Each bill is scored by our Gemini-powered relevance engine against patient safety standards. A multi-pass filter catches false positives like nursing home licensing or agricultural safety, and borderline cases get flagged for manual review before they ever reach your radar.

03 — Deliver

Structured data you can actually search

Every bill lands with structured fields — hearing dates, sponsors, committees, status, and relevance scores. Track status changes in real time and jump to official pages or committee contacts with one click.

The Pipeline

Five steps from raw filing to your radar

Every bill and petition goes through this process before it appears on Epieme. Here's what happens at each stage.

Step 01

Always up to date

We connect to the LegiScan API for daily legislative data pulls and monitor Change.org for grassroots patient safety petitions. Official state legislature sites are scraped as a fallback, ensuring no filing goes unnoticed regardless of how it was published.

Updates every 72 hours across all 50 states.

Step 02

Only patient-safety relevant

Our Gemini-powered relevance engine scores each item against patient safety and hospital accountability standards. Bills that fall in a borderline range are automatically flagged for human review, and the model improves continuously based on reviewer feedback.

96.2% precision rate on patient safety classification.

Step 03

Noise removed automatically

A multi-pass keyword filter catches false positives like nursing home licensing, agricultural safety, and workplace hazard bills that surface alongside patient safety legislation. Category-based exclusions strip out entire bill families that consistently score as irrelevant.

Reduces the candidate pool from thousands to hundreds per cycle.

Step 04

Structured, actionable fields

We parse and normalize hearing dates, identify sponsors and committees, and track each bill's status through its legislative lifecycle. Every field is searchable and filterable, turning raw filings into structured records you can actually work with.

Standardized across all 50 state legislature formats.

Step 05

Your radar, ready to act

Search any bill by keyword, filter by state or status, and sort by hearing date to see what's coming up. Each record links directly to the official bill page, and you can subscribe for email alerts when hearings are scheduled or status changes.

No signup required to browse. Alerts are free.

Common questions

Everything you'd want to know about how Epieme works, where the data comes from, and how we keep it accurate.

Still have questions? Reach out to our team

Where does the data come from?

We pull from the LegiScan API, which aggregates legislative data from all 50 state legislatures. We also monitor Change.org for patient safety petitions. Data is refreshed on a rolling 72-hour cycle.

How accurate is the AI classification?

Our relevance engine achieves a 96.2% precision rate on patient safety classification. Bills that fall in the borderline range are flagged for human review, and we continuously improve the model based on feedback.

Is Epieme free to use?

Yes, 100% free and always will be. You don't even need an account to browse the Radar. Subscribing (also free) lets you receive email alerts when new bills are filed or hearings are scheduled in your state.

How quickly do new bills appear?

Most bills appear in the Radar within 24 hours of being filed. The exact timing depends on when the state legislature publishes the data and when our next crawl cycle runs.

What counts as "patient safety" legislation?

Bills that directly impact patient rights, hospital accountability, medical error reporting, staffing ratios, informed consent, and care quality standards. We specifically exclude bills about nursing home licensing, agricultural safety, or workplace safety that don't involve patient care.

Can I suggest improvements or report errors?

Absolutely. Every bill in the Radar has a feedback mechanism. If you think a bill was incorrectly classified or is missing important data, let us know and we'll review it. You can also reach us at team@epieme.org.
