Turning AI onto itself: AI algorithm detects when medical images will be difficult for radiologists or AI to make an effective diagnosis

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2020 — A new AI algorithm can identify when medical images are likely to be difficult for either a radiologist or AI to make an effective diagnosis. The algorithm can potentially be used to triage medical scans and highlight cases that warrant further in-depth clinical evaluation or additional tests to support a definitive clinical diagnosis.

Radiologist diagnosing x-ray scan
Radiologist diagnosing x-ray scan

The algorithm, called UDC by AI healthcare company Presagen, was originally designed to automatically detect errors in medical data, particularly data that cannot be reliably verified by experts.

When applied to images of x-rays to detect pneumonia, errors by radiologists were rare when the x-ray images had clear features. However, UDC found the diagnosis (or label) for several x-ray images to be neither correct nor an error. Verification of these images by an independent radiologist also agreed that they were indeed difficult images to diagnose, with their independent assessment often disagreeing with the original diagnosis provided in the public dataset. Similarly, AI that was trained to diagnose pneumonia also found the assessment difficult for these images.

Removal of poor-quality (difficult) images identified by UDC from the training dataset improved AI accuracy for diagnosing pneumonia in x-rays images by over 10% as measured on a hold out blind test set, and the AI was shown to be more scalable (generalizable). The accuracy also exceeded benchmarks set by the current literature for that public dataset.

The AI Scientist that led the project, Dr Milad Dakka, said "Our results suggest these poor-quality images are uninformative, counter-productive or confusing when used in training AI. The ability to identify when new images are poor-quality is important to prevent an inaccurate AI clinical assessment, but also to alert the radiologist when the scan is likely to be difficult to diagnose or when a new scan should be taken."

Presagen Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Dr Don Perugini said "Many AI practitioners believe that AI performance and scalability can be solved with more data. This is not true, and we call it the AI data fallacy. Even 1% poor-quality data can impact the performance of the AI. Building accurate and scalable AI is about using the right data."

Presagen has recently developed a range of patent-pending AI technologies that drive a fundamental paradigm shift in developing commercially scalable AI products for real-world problems, which apply beyond healthcare and to AI more generally.

Dr Michelle Perugini said "We are excited to present to the world the suite of technologies, which we believe advance the field of AI. These technologies will allow Presagen to build scalable ‘out of the box’ AI products that are more commercially viable and technically superior, and thus market dominating. This is vital in Presagen’s journey to become world-leaders in AI Enhanced Healthcare and a dominant player in the AI-in-Femtech market globally. More importantly, we see it as an opportunity to change, lead, and dominate the AI industry."

Jvion Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for Improving Patient Outcomes Using Its Clinical-AI CORE™ Intelligence Platform

Leave a comment

Jvion’s prescriptive analytics approach identifies undetected risk and modifiable risk trajectories followed by recommendations for remedial actions

SANTA CLARA, California, Sept. 1, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the North American prescriptive analytics market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Jvion, Inc. with the 2020 North American Technology Innovation Leadership Award for its clinical-AI Care Optimization and Recommendation Enhancement (CORE™) technology. It is a scalable, secure intelligence repository that aggregates structured as well as unstructured data and augments that information with clinical, socioeconomic, and experiential data on 30 million individuals to draw meaningful correlations and inferences. To date, Jvion’s clinical AI has helped more than 300 hospitals, payers, and pharmacy managers achieve 30 percent reductions in preventable adverse incidents, which translate to annual savings of more than $6.3 million.

2020 North American Prescriptive Analytics Technology Innovation Leadership Award
2020 North American Prescriptive Analytics Technology Innovation Leadership Award

"The CORE™ identifies health and financial risk trajectories that can be modified, delivers prioritized insights to the care teams and coordinators engaging patients, and makes recommendations to improve outcomes. As a prescriptive analytics solution, it can proactively mitigate preventable harm that could otherwise lead to hospital readmissions, serious conditions, or accelerated health deterioration," said Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe, Industry Principal. "With this first-in-class AI platform, Jvion evolved from a provider of simple predictive analytics and machine learning solutions to a technology leader that can help identify potentially high-risk patients and suggest specific remedial action."

The solution leverages a combination of Eigen-based mathematics, datasets from over 30 million patients, and a software platform to promptly act upon 50+ preventable clinical events, covering behavioral health, hospital acquired conditions, chronic conditions, hospice/palliative care, and medication adherence. Additionally, it can identify avoidable cost events including uncompensated care and help customers work with their patient population to identify the right financial assistance. Importantly, the CORE™ does not require the creation of new models or perfect datasets. The underlying AI capability assesses 4,500 clinical and non-clinical risk factors for every patient and a quadrillion risk calculations through 170,000 self-learning Eigen Spheres clusters in real-time.

Frequently used enterprise data warehouse or data lake models demand considerable resources just to deliver a retrospective view of the patient’s health risk. Similarly, scoring methods such as LACE and BRADEN do not provide enough granularity or patient specificity to determine all the factors impacting the patient’s health. Jvion’s CORE™, on the other hand, boasts patient specificity, high effectiveness (seven times more effective than popular scoring methods), patient rendering (up to 365 days view into the future), successful use of even incomplete and unstructured datasets, and the fastest speed to value. Each of these benefits helps deliver effective, personalized patient care.

"As a result of its patient-centric approach to understanding vulnerability and risk, Jvion was able to pivot quickly during a pandemic to launch its COVID Response Suite, which delivers lists of individuals most vulnerable to severe illness. These insights enable proactive and targeted outreach to individuals that need to take more aggressive precautions," noted Cauwenberghe. "The relevance of its solutions, along with its patient-focused technology development efforts, has positioned Jvion for accelerated growth."

"Jvion is honored to be recognized for executing on its mission of preventing avoidable harm whether categorized as a health or financial event for our customers," said Jay Deady, CEO of Jvion. "Our team is constantly innovating to ensure our prescriptive AI approach is relevant to the changing dynamics of the healthcare industry."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and leveraging new technologies that deliver significant customer value.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

“With the advent of innovative delivery models and shifting focus on value-based care, the demand for interoperable systems will continue to grow,” said Koustav Chatterjee, Transformational Health Principal Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Additionally, the ability to achieve medical device connectivity across the care continuum will be critical. Real-time integration of accurate patient-generated data from connected apps and systems into a central command center platform that uses cognitive algorithms to automate care coordination and personalize intervention will be a key competitive advantage during and post-COVID-19.”

Chatterjee added: “From product segment perspectives, data interoperability and data analytics will primarily dominate the global healthcare data interoperability market. Both of these solution segments are expected to contribute more than 90% of the global market revenue throughout the study period. Further, application program interface (API) integration is the third-most important solution segment contributing to global market revenue, followed by data cleansing, data integration, and application integration.”

Globally, major government agencies are mandating healthcare stakeholders to comply with national healthcare data interoperability standards. This is resulting in higher adoption of HIT applications, thereby presenting immense growth opportunities for vendors involved in healthcare interoperability, including:

  • API Management: Vendors are encouraged to create API partnership platforms to achieve cross-continuum connectivity.
  • Data Management: Cloud or on-premise data centers comprise actionable healthcare intelligence, indicative of a past pattern of diseases, payment frauds, and operational inefficiencies.
  • Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Partnerships: Build the EMR interoperability consulting services business line.

VectraCor currently has this technology integrated into their VectraplexECG System, used mainly in Emergency Departments, Urgent Cares and Doctor’s Offices. The VectraplexECG System has approval in the United States (FDA), Europe (CE Mark), Taiwan and Australia and is patented worldwide.

Dr. Christian Klimmer, CEO of corpuls said, “In 1991 corpuls was the first medical device company in the field of multi-parameter / defibrillators introducing the 12-lead ECG to the market. A little revolution back then, standard worldwide as of today. With the introduction of the 22-lead ECG and the CEB® together with VectraCor we will again set the new standard in diagnosing cardiovascular disease, in particular in EMS. We deeply believe that our customers are very interested in more advanced diagnostics regarding acute coronary syndromes especially if this doesn’t come with the price of more time on scene. This will hopefully enable a higher diagnostic accuracy, earlier treatment and an easier choice of the most appropriate hospital where the patient is transported to. For the receiving hospital to know exactly what to expect we have created the possibility to send all 22-Leads as well as the CEB® ahead as a pdf or, in even more detail as part of our corpuls.misson Telemedicine solution.” 

Brad S. Schreck, President & CEO of VectraCor Inc. said, “We are very excited about this partnership with corpuls and to begin to license our patented technology so it can get into the hands of more of the brave life-saving medical professionals that need it. The corpuls product line is used widely and highly respected throughout the world, so naturally, we feel like they are an ideal partner to showcase our technology. We are also very pleased that corpuls sees the important clinical benefit of deriving a full 22-lead ECG which gives the provider more clinically relevant views of the heart, right-sided, posterior, and vectorcardiogram which can have isolated issues when the 12-Lead ECG looks ‘normal’. The reduced electrode placement also saves money and patient prep-time along with helping avoiding potential electrode misplacement.” 

Schreck continued, “Our ECG technology may now help healthcare workers more quickly detect cardiac disease in real-time and non-invasively, in the form of VectraCor’s easy-to-read, color-coded, CEB® number. This could lead to a potentially faster treatment to save heart muscle and lives. After many years of published studies and presentations from prestigious institutions at medical congresses around the world such as ESC, ACC, ACEP, etc., which validated the clinical effectiveness of our technology, we are ready to take the company and healthcare to the next level. This will include licensing the CEB® and derivation technology and putting it into various multi-parameter monitors and other cardiac devices like stress tests, Holter/event monitors, mobile consumer devices and telemedicine platforms.”

On the strategic aspect of the partnership, Schreck said, “The defibrillator and EMS market has always been of major interest to us after VectraCor won the Top EMS Innovation Award at EMS World Expo a few years back. So partnering with corpuls, a major player in that market, fits right into our strategy and vision.” He added, “This is only the beginning in our fight against the number one disease state, and killer, in the world, cardiovascular disease.”

Alestra, deploys Bright Pattern Contact Center for nonprofit, CENACED, to offer remote psychological teleassistance services during the pandemic

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, California, July 15, 2020 — CENACED, a non-profit healthcare organization, has deployed Bright Pattern as their cloud-based contact center software provider amid the COVID-19 pandemic. CENACED uses Bright Pattern to offer free telehealth services to help citizens in Mexico dealing with stress during the quarantine. They have also moved agents and counselors to a remote model to protect the safety of their employees during the pandemic.

A recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that the pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of 56 percent of adults. In April, texts to a US federal emergency mental-health line were up 1,000 percent from the year before. The situation is particularly dire for certain vulnerable groups—health-care workers, COVID-19 patients with severe cases, and people who have lost loved ones. CENACED is working with Bright Pattern, Alestra, and Bright Pattern partner, Call It Once, to bring telehealth counseling services to impacted people in Mexico to help people deal with the current health crisis.

CENACED offers free psychological telecare to people who have symptoms of stress derived from quarantine and with Bright Pattern’s virtual call center technology are now handling 120 cases per hour and serving almost 50,000 people per month. Alestra, Bright Pattern, and Call It Once joined CENACED in this critical initiative, enabling a teleassistance contact center in the cloud as shown in this video showing the solution in action. Per CENACED this cloud contact center was deployed in “record time” and is “a technology initiative that changes lives”:

“Bright Pattern has helped global companies during the pandemic by providing a 100% virtual platform allowing customers to seamlessly transition to remote teams,” said Michael McCloskey, CEO of Bright Pattern. “Countries in both Asia and Europe have also used Bright Pattern to help with COVID contact tracing but this is the first Bright Pattern powered contact center that is helping offer telehealth services during the pandemic as well.”

“Today, the world is facing challenging times. People and companies are taking the lead in collaborating in a more personalized way leveraging innovative technology,” said Ana Llano, Regional Manager, Latin America, Bright Pattern. “With our help, CENACED was able to deploy a hybrid contact center with onsite and remote agents quickly thanks to the ease-of-use of the Bright Pattern platform. Agents were ready to provide personalized virtual counseling services and psychological teleassistance to Mexican citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic. At Bright Pattern, we are proud to collaborate with our partners and help CENACED with this innovative use of technology focused on helping people and keeping agents safe at home.”
