A secure, disability-informed advocacy and external memory portal. Designed to help individuals navigate complex administrative and healthcare systems with structure, evidence, and calm.
External Memory
Organize life events, records, and system encounters into structured, retrievable case files.
Evidence Library
Every document tagged with source, date, confidence level, and matter. Nothing gets lost.
Document Drafter
Generate referral letters, accommodation requests, and professional summaries for care team review.
Libby Assistant
A conservative, evidence-aware AI that never presents inferred information as confirmed fact.
What Libby is and is not
Libby is not a chatbot, a virtual assistant, or a health information service. Libby is a structured documentation and advocacy support tool designed for people navigating complex administrative, legal, and healthcare systems.
Conservative by designEvery response Libby produces is labelled with a confidence level. Confirmed facts are distinguished from inferences. Missing evidence is surfaced, not papered over.
Disability-informed external memory and advocacy support
Why this exists
People navigating complex disability, healthcare, and government systems face a problem that is rarely acknowledged: the administrative burden of managing one's own case is itself a disabling barrier.
Phone calls with no paper trail. Letters that require a response within 10 days. Appointments with providers who have not read the last five years of records. Forms that assume you can remember what you said to a caseworker fourteen months ago.
LIBBY_LIVE is a tool built to address that problem directly - not by making the system simpler, but by giving individuals the same organizational infrastructure the system already has.
NATICO
NATICO is a Canadian not-for-profit digital advocacy agency. LIBBY_LIVE is its founding product and serves as its primary demonstration of principle. Matthew Herbert, Founder & CEO, serves as the founding training matter under the PATIENT_ZERO operating model.

Plain language notes describing day-to-day functioning
Current realities
PurposeThese entries describe how conditions affect daily function in plain language. They are designed to be pulled into referral letters and professional summaries.
Cognitive overload and task paralysis
Confirmed
Phone calls, multi-step administrative tasks, and time-pressured requests frequently cause task paralysis. Written communication strongly preferred. Asynchronous interaction required for reliable responses.
Memory fragmentation
Confirmed
TBI causes inconsistent short-term recall. Cannot reliably reproduce information shared in previous conversations without written record. External memory systems are not a preference - they are a medical necessity.
Physical repositioning barrier
Confirmed
Chronic spinal instability prevents safe independent repositioning during sleep. Standard bed frame does not support head/foot elevation. Waking pain level documented at 8/10.
Appointment burden
Confirmed
High volume of specialist, home care, and administrative appointments. Transport barriers compound attendance difficulty. Preparation time for each appointment significantly exceeds typical patient load.
Narrative accounts of significant system encounters
System encounter log
Hospital discharge without coordination
Confirmed
Type: Hospital encounter | Matter: Surgical care continuity
Discharge occurred without confirmed home care setup. Gaps in ostomy supply and wound care coordination in first 72 hours post-discharge.
Administrative looping - ODSP
Confirmed
Type: Government services | Matter: ODSP file
Multiple requests for same documentation across review cycles. No single point of contact maintaining continuity. Each interaction requires full re-explanation of medical situation.
Inaccessible communication - clinic
Confirmed
Type: Healthcare access | Matter: General care
Clinic contact by phone only. No email or written option provided. Phone communication creates documented barrier given TBI and cognitive fatigue profile.
Stable, high-confidence reusable statements about functioning and recurring needs
How these are usedPatient Truths are designed to be pulled directly into letters, summaries, and referral documents. They are stable, pre-approved statements that do not need to be re-written each time.
Active patient truths
Written communication is a medical accommodation requirement
Confirmed
Due to TBI-related executive dysfunction and memory fragmentation, written communication is required for reliable participation in care planning, administrative processes, and legal/benefit matters.
Ongoing ostomy care requires specialized supplies, nursing support, and nutritional monitoring. This is not a stable managed condition - it is an active daily clinical need.
Administrative tasks are a documented disability barrier
Confirmed
The burden of managing complex multi-agency administrative demands constitutes a disability-related barrier under the AODA and Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation is required, not discretionary.
External memory systems are clinical infrastructure, not preference
Confirmed
Structured documentation systems compensate for TBI-related memory deficits. Their use is a medical necessity equivalent to a mobility aid or hearing device.
Still needed: OT recommendation letter, physician support.
Blood pressure monitor
Confirmed Need▼
Functional limitation: Home monitoring required given instability profile and high appointment burden.
Documentation available: Clinical record confirms monitoring requirement.
Functional limitation summary for OT
Draft▼
Draft summaryPatient presents with complex chronic illness profile (Crohn's / high-output ileostomy, TBI, chronic malnutrition, spinal instability) requiring daily clinical management and multiple equipment supports. Full documentation available in Evidence Library. Patient Truths available for incorporation into OT report.
Review requiredAll draft documents must be reviewed by a qualified professional before submission. Status labels indicate readiness.
