MIAMI, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- University of Miami Health System (UHealth) announced the launch of a system-wide AI deployment across the organization's facilities powered by Aidoc, a pioneer in artificial intelligence. UHealth will have access to Aidoc's AI technology and platform to support the healthcare leader's mission of delivering high-quality, compassionate care by utilizing AI to identify suspected findings early in the care process, coordinate workflows and support continued care beyond diagnosis.

"By combining our physician expertise with Aidoc's AI technology, our goal is to be able to provide even more timely and precise care to our patients, ultimately improving their overall healthcare experience. We intend to move AI up to the 'point of care' and even the 'point of scan'," said Alexander McKinney, M.D., Shapiro professor and chair of the Department of Radiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

UHealth will integrate Aidoc's 13 FDA-cleared algorithms and pathway-optimized workflow technologies designed to identify a wide range of suspected acute abnormalities in patient scans. Aidoc's platform, the aiOS™, flags these abnormalities and expedites the triaging process for physicians, then facilitates seamless coordination among cross-specialty medical teams. Collectively, these solutions help ensure patients receive timely and precise care when and where they need it most.
For instance, when a patient arrives at the Emergency Department (ED) and receives a CT scan to assess injury or source of pain, Aidoc's AI deploys its comprehensive algorithm suite based on visible anatomy. The technology discerns both suspected and unsuspected findings from various data sources, helping physicians prioritize cases that may require prompt decision-making and ensuring all flagged medical conditions are reviewed by the care team for potential next steps. Aidoc's AI then facilitates the connection between the relevant members of the care team and the patient for immediate follow up care if needed, fostering collaboration and expediting treatment.

Other Aidoc AI solutions have already been deployed throughout UHealth facilities, including algorithms for pulmonary embolism, incidental pulmonary embolism and intracranial hemorrhage. Additionally, UHealth has introduced Aidoc's solutions for care coordination and patient follow-up management.

Aidoc is actively engaged in the deployment of its more than 20 solutions* throughout the UHealth system, including brain aneurysm, c-spine fracture and brain vessel occlusion (including both large vessel and medium vessel occlusions).
