Israeli tech works to avert hospitalizations by flagging problems with clashing meds
FeelBetter, an Israeli company, has developed an artificial intelligence system to warn doctors about uncoordinated treatment regimens that could lead to hospitalization for elderly patients. The system, deployed by Leumit Healthcare Services, flags up to 70% of elderly patients who are at risk of hospitalization due to suboptimal polypharmacy. The AI tool analyzes medical records and identifies gaps in patient care. Leumit doctors have already received alerts from the tool and made changes to treatment regimens for hundreds of patients. The technology is currently being trialed at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. The system aims to improve patient care and reduce instances of hospitalization.
