ushering in a new era of
ai-augmented healthcare

The CHALLENGE

Despite the introduction of new diagnostic techniques, technologies, and monitoring tools, healthcare misdiagnosis rates have remained largely unchanged in the last 30 years. Johns Hopkins investigators have estimated that medical errors are the #3 cause of death in the U.S. with 250,000 deaths per year*. In fact, misdiagnosis may account for 40,000–80,000 preventable deaths every year in US hospitals alone.

And that’s healthcare in general. In the world of stroke and head trauma care – where someone in the U.S. suffers a brain injury every 9 seconds – hospital admissions have increased 18% in the past 10 years, and settlements for a single medical malpractice for an undiagnosed brain bleed can reach into the millions of dollars*. With the cost of stroke care estimated at $150,000 per year per patient, some projections estimate $240 billion in total direct and indirect stroke care costs.

Reaching clear finding as quickly as possible means better patient outcomes. Data from the Target Stroke initiative suggests that for every 15-minute reduction in time to treatment, 3.2% more patients are able to ambulate, and 5.1% more patients are able to return home*.

Radiologists need seamless, integrated solutions that provide clinical insights and answers, empowering their decisions to recommend better treatment faster. Helping them avoid burnout. Empowering them to help save lives.
