Data science at the service of hospitals
During the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Lodi’s ASST wanted to rely on effective solutions for the management of overcrowding in hospital wards. To help Lodi’s Hospital, we developed SmartAid Medical Solution, a digital platform based on artificial intelligence algorithms.
- Description and benefits
During the emergency period, the Italian health system had to face an abnormal overcrowding of hospital wards and emergency rooms. The information systems available to the facilities were not able to effectively detect the pressure exerted on the different units. Competent bodies had therefore many difficulties in adopting effective and well-timed decisions on patients' distribution.
In close collaboration with the hospital director and healthcare staff, we developed an automatic platform that could quickly monitor and manage the pressure and health status of the hospitals’ network, providing an advanced decision support system.
Optimization of patients' flow
The platform monitors the situation in real time allowing a greater speed of intervention
Fast, quality information
The tool allows physicians and managers to take more informed decisions
Daily system
The hospital network is always up-to-date, thanks to information extracted through advanced statistical and text mining techniques
Deepening case study
Artificial intelligence at the service of man
«SmartAid Medical Solution allows you to observe everything from the right distance, making strategic choices more efficient in responding to the need. For example, defining the right time to convert ordinary wards to COVID and vice versa and allocating resources in a more productive way.»
