In a world where seconds can save lives, AI (artificial intelligence) is the quiet revolution rewriting the rules of modern healthcare. From predictive analytics to automating electronic health records, AI plays a pivotal role in enhancing the precision and efficiency of healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, AI/ML algorithms were used to quickly diagnose coronavirus-positive patients. These algorithms also helped healthcare organizations predict the potential sequence of next-gen viruses. 

• From 2019 to 2022, investors poured $31.5 billion in equity funding into healthcare AI.

• $360 billion is the expected annual potential savings from AI for the US healthcare system over the next 4-5 years.

• 1,500 is the current number of healthcare AI vendors, half of them have been formed in the past seven years.

AI in Healthcare: A World of Endless Possibilities

Today’s healthcare demands are higher than ever and require the involvement of technology. This is where the integration of AI/ML development services can play a key role in addressing challenges. Healthcare organizations are partnering with tech companies to build AI solutions that can better predict clinical outcomes, optimize patient monitoring, and enhance diagnosis. 

At SoftProdigy, we recently collaborated with one of the leading medical service providers in South Africa to create an AI/ML-based system called PrognosAI Medical Predictor. This innovation set a benchmark in how to use technology for enhanced diagnosis, optimum utilization of resources, and better patient care.

Challenge and Objectives: Closing the Diagnostic Gap With AI

South Africa’s leading medical service provider encountered a set of challenges that had stopped them from accessing appropriate healthcare services. These challenges are summed as follows:

• Precise Prognoses :

The healthcare provider was using an outdated Doctor Management application, which was not able to predict the symptoms of different medical conditions of patients. Thus, diagnosis and patient treatment became quite inefficient.

• System Integration:

The client required an AI solution that would seamlessly integrate with their current system to enhance diagnostic accuracy without disrupting workflows. 

• Scalability and Data Processing:

The AI solution has to process and analyze humongous amounts of symptoms and cases in real-time, so that it can make reliable and accurate prognoses in real time.

• Data Security and Privacy:

Given the sensitivity of medical data, the project required ensuring the AI system will adhere to strict data privacy regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, or POPIA.

The Solution: PrognosAI Medical Predictor

SoftProdigy traversed these roads by creating an enterprise-scale, scalable, and friendly AI solution for the healthcare organization. Being an AI/ML prognostic system, PrognosAI Medical Predictor was developed to ensure seamless integration without altering the client’s existing infrastructure. The system comes with advanced solutions, including: 

• AI/ML Powered Prognoses 

We built a highly accurate system using AI and ML for prognoses. Our AI and deep learning team developed a strong back-end using Python as well as Flask API. Also, Sklearn-based machine learning models were trained using the dataset of over 600 symptoms and more than 4,900 real medicine cases to provide high-grade diagnostic accuracy.

• Data Manipulation and Integration

SoftProdigy used Pandas to make the process of data preprocessing and handling so smooth that big data could easily be managed without much trouble. The prognoses system was designed to an extent wherein it can be integrated well within the already established Doctor Management Application. This led to improved functionality with absolutely no disturbance to the existing workflows.

• Intuitive User Interfaces

Front-end was done with React.JS to provide the most intuitive user interface for any healthcare professional. Even new users could get their diagnostic insights as easily as possible due to the responsive design integration. Also, the UI was done in such a manner that it allowed healthcare professionals to learn quickly and pick up. 

• Highly Precise Model Training  

Our AI/ML development company trained the system keeping maximum precision in mind. Through thousands of real-world cases, the system was trained to diagnose medical conditions with high accuracy. Consequently, the integrated AI system delivered reliable prognostic results rapidly to healthcare professionals for faster decision-making.

Results and Achievements: Enhanced Prediction With AI

• Accurate Diagnosis

The integrated AI/ML-based system allowed for timely predictions concerning the symptoms that could be diagnosed in a clear manner by the health practitioners early enough. This allowed them to start work on treatments efficiently and quickly. 

• Reduced the average time for symptom diagnosis by 30%

• Enabled 3x faster clinical decision-making.

• Easy Installation

The PrognosAI Medical Predictor properly supported the existing Doctor Management application. Thus, any mileage gained in the diagnostic system does not, in any way, affect workflows already in use.

• Achieved a diagnostic accuracy rate of 90%.

• 95% of professionals adopted the system within the first month.

• Optimization of Resource Utilization

AI and ML models optimized the system in a way that the assignment of healthcare resources could be done earlier. Early treatment coupled with appropriate diagnostics thus becomes easily facilitated. 

• Saved 20% on operational costs by optimizing resource allocation.

• Reducing the need for unnecessary diagnostic tests by half.

• Better Patient Care

This is where the project succeeded. For patients, it ensured that early interventions were carried out wherein appropriate prognoses were provided. Thereby, it offered better outcomes to the patient and high satisfaction with high standards of care.

• Increased patient satisfaction scores by 30%.

• Faster and more accurate diagnoses led to earlier treatment.
