Bayesian Health offers an adaptive AI/ML platform that forecasts declining trajectories within a hospital/health system’s patient population. The research-backed platform is designed to empower providers with the ability to identify and intervene with next-best actions in a timely way. This is accomplished by sending accurate and actionable clinical signals for a wide range of critical condition areas within the EMR and existing workflows. As a result, physicians and care team members are able to catch life-threatening complications much earlier, leading to better patient outcomes and reductions in healthcare costs. This pioneering approach is referred to as Intelligent Care Augmentation. Why the name “Bayesian”? Optimal decision making relies on being good at pulling together lots of relevant data, knowing what to trust, integrating these data to create forecasts, and updating forecasts as new data arrive. That’s a Bayesian way of reasoning. Bayesian Health leverages best in class AI/ML techniques to enable this for care teams because decisions around our health deserve the best data and inferences.
