WROCLAW, Poland, Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Infermedica, a Polish and US-based company, has
released its white-labeled symptom checker and triage platform
after successful pilots with European healthcare insurance
companies Allianz Partners, Dovera, and PZU. Infermedica utilizes
Artificial Intelligence technology which has the potential to
significantly improve quality of care, both on the provider and the
patient side.
The application advises patients on what to do next when they
feel unwell. After asking a series of diagnostic questions,
Infermedica's AI suggests possible conditions and suitable actions
to take. Infermedica estimates that typically up to 26% of patient
cases are self-treatable, and a symptom checker can be used to
prevent unnecessary visits by instead providing self-care or
teleconsultations. Over three million people have used its platform
and the underlying engine improves with time as more requests are
processed.
"We focus solely on B2B partnerships and our mission is to
provide the best AI technology to serve health systems and
insurers," says Piotr Orzechowski,
CEO of Infermedica. "Infermedica works in the AI-as-a-Service model
and has two main products: a highly customizable and easy to deploy
symptom checker framework and the Infermedica API which now has
over 1,700 developers subscribed, including our great partners such
as Healthloop and Allianz."
Started in 2012, the company combines doctor's expertise with
machine learning and has developed a statistical knowledge base of
symptoms, signs, risk factors, and diseases.
The company recently re-designed its showcase application called
Symptomate. Infermedica also became the first symptom checker
application in the Microsoft Cortana ecosystem. The app is also
available for Amazon Alexa across all its devices (Echo, Dot, Tap,
Spot, Show) and third party party Alexa-compatible ones (e.g.
Lenovo Smart Assistant, Eufy Genie, Garmin
Speak, Muse).
Infermedica supports several languages: English, Spanish,
Simplified Chinese, German, French, Russian, Portuguese, Slovak and
Polish. The company plans to establish new partnerships in the
USA, Europe and Middle
East and is currently working on extending the application
of its AI engine to clinical decision support and call center
triage.
