Jeremy Bevel

Jeremy Bevel is a West Virginia patient-safety advocate, former union heavy-equipment operator, and lived-experience for diagnostic safety, medical-record accuracy, patient and family engagement, EHR transparency, and responsible AI in healthcare.

His advocacy grew from personal and family experiences with progressive disability, diagnostic delay, fragmented care, medical harm, and repeated discrepancies between patient-reported symptoms, observable findings, and official medical records. As his condition worsened, Jeremy began building a detailed evidence record using portal messages, audio recordings and transcripts, photographs, raw test data, timelines, and side-by-side comparisons of care encounters and medical-record documentation. He also used AI tools to organize this complex information, identify overlooked diagnostic pathways, and communicate patterns that were repeatedly missed or minimized in traditional clinical settings.

Jeremy’s work is also shaped by his daughter’s parallel documented symptom pattern and care struggles. Their overlapping experiences reinforced his belief that patient and family observations are essential to recognizing patterns, preventing harm, improving diagnosis, and strengthening accountability.



His advocacy centers on the need for healthcare and oversight systems to listen to patients, accurately document patient and family reports, create meaningful pathways for medical-record correction and evidence submission, and ensure that emerging AI tools do not amplify inaccurate or incomplete EHR data. Jeremy hopes his story can contribute to safer, more transparent, and more accountable healthcare where patients and families are included as partners in diagnostic safety and harm prevention.
