"We've completely eliminated patients’ complaints for having to wait longer than expected" – Berta Arquer, Manager and Receptionist at the Arquer Institute. The Arquer Medical Center in Barcelona founded by Dr. Andreu Arquer, is a clinic the staff of which puts the patients’ experience at its top priorities. Apart from the medical staff’s professionalism, the clinic’s executives recognized the importance of the space’s design in impacting the patients’ emotional state. Particularly the waiting room where patients might have to endure longer waiting times can lead to or heighten feelings of boredom, nervousness, or concern for both patients and the staff. That’s when the clinic decided to invest in visual art & photography, by initially incorporating a mediocre-quality TV experience that eventually became even poorer. Then Berta Arquer crossed paths with the BHH provider WindowSight team at just the right time. The latter installed a new TV and introduced the platform’s content which not only enhanced the aesthetics but also significantly improved the patient's emotional state and the overall experience at the clinic. In order to determine the effectiveness of WindowSight's solution for the clinic’s waiting area, a case study was conducted to assess the patients’ behavior before and after the implementation of the new concept and in both cases determine the impact of visual art & photography on the patients’ emotional state, as measured by “perceived waiting time”, compared to the actual time. The group of patients who were experiencing the old TV experience, perceived the waiting time 6% less (on average) than the actual time, while those who were experiencing WindowSight at the new TV installation, perceived the waiting time 43% less (on average) than the actual time. Overall, WindowSight notably outperformed the previous experience by decreasing the patients’ average perceived waiting time by 37%. Not only were complaints eliminated, but patients also expressed positive feedback about it. Dr. Arquer emphasized the most important outcome of this investment: “Ever since the TV experience was upgraded, we’ve noticed that our patients exhibit more relaxed behavior, whether it is during the appointment or while waiting. We've enhanced the overall experience at the center.” This case study demonstrates how technology in healthcare, combined with visual stimuli can improve the patients’ experience. It highlights the importance for healthcare professionals to consider and develop strategies to protect patients’ psychological and mental health alongside their physical well-being for an inclusive treatment. The collaboration between WindowSight and the Arquer Medical Center showcases the success of this approach. Read WindowSight's full article HERE.

IQVIA, leading global provider of advanced analytics, technology solutions, and clinical research services to the life sciences industry, launched the IQVIA Accelerator Programme.

BHH members Mi Clinics and HumanITcare have signed a collaboration agreement to accompany cancer patients throughout their treatment, from any location, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The tool allows personalised monitoring, using artificial intelligence, facilitating comprehensive support from the professional and improving the patient's quality of life. By monitoring a series of vital indicators, the doctor can thus anticipate the doubts, concerns and needs of such a delicate and uncertain patient as an oncologist. The professionals of UOMi Cancer Center, that have been working with the solution for a year and provide services at Mi Tres Torres clinic in Barcelona and Mi NovAliança clinic in Lleida, now have an intelligent system to support medical decision-making in the oncology speciality. Through this solution, the patient can share his or her condition at any time with the professional, and even better: the doctor can anticipate and act before doubts and unease arise in the patient. The agreement, with an initial duration of three years, includes an exclusivity clause in oncology in the Catalan territory, according to which only Mi Clinics centres will be able to offer this service for monitoring cancer patients. The service has been inaugurated in Mi Tres Torres clinic (Barcelona), but, after the positive results experienced in there, it is expected that the solution will begin to be implemented in Mi NovAliança (Lleida) during this quarter. Dr. Santiago Viteri, director of UOMi Cancer Center, assures that: "Doctors, in addition to accessing vital indicators with or without the patient's express request, we monitor the medication and the particular emotional state of each patient, which allows us, at any time, to make decisions relevant to the treatment, and much better contrasted than before. Also, when in doubt, patients can set up consultations via chat or video call. We have all the flanks covered to be, actually, always at the patient's side and anticipate their needs". Núria Pastor, CEO of HumanITcare, explains that: "We are very happy about this alliance with Mi Clinics, offering a more personalised healthcare to oncology patients in the Catalan territory and, together, we can bring care to patients' homes. Over the past year, patients, families, and doctors have successfully embraced the solution and now we only hope that we can continue to add value to medical care.

Kore.ai, the world-leading enterprise conversational AI software platform and solutions company, announces integration with BHH member Mediktor, an advanced AI-based medical assistant for triage and pre-diagnosis. This partnership delivers a digital-first healthcare assessment to improve access to care, boost patient experience, and generate better health outcomes. Together, Kore.ai and Mediktor are offering healthcare providers a conversational, multilingual, omnichannel healthcare assessment available 24x7 to drive patient engagement and improve care navigation. Combining natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, the partnership allows patients to describe their symptoms in their own words, leveraging 45,000 synonyms available in 16 languages, without worrying about using medical terms or making spelling mistakes, a significant step towards promoting health equity and accessibility for all. Delivered through the Kore.ai’s fully scalable, pre-built, pre-trained, EMR integration-ready solution, HealthAssist, healthcare providers can seamlessly support care navigation and triaging of patients. The Kore.ai-Mediktor partnership provides powerful healthcare metrics and structured data to healthcare providers. NLP contains the significant potential for uncovering meaningful insights from unstructured medical text. It provides valuable information related to disease progression, treatment efficacy, population health trends, and many other use cases that would have been infeasible to identify by using manual data review and analysis techniques. “These kinds of partnerships are driving real operational advantages for patients and healthcare providers,” said Kore.ai CEO and Founder Raj Koneru. “We are excited to align with companies that share the same commitment to driving digital transformation to create extraordinary experiences throughout the healthcare ecosystem.” “The combination of Kore.ai’s leading conversational AI and Mediktor’s top-notch medical NLP and care navigation capabilities will enable key players in the healthcare industry to discover valuable information and meaningful insights from patient’s unstructured medical text, while patients enjoy a more seamless and pleasant healthcare guidance at the first onset of symptoms,” according to Vicenç Ferrer, the Managing Director of Mediktor’s NYC headquarters. Mediktor’s integration into Kore.ai’s conversational AI platform represents a significant advancement in care assistance. By leveraging the power of this partnership, Kore.ai is making significant progress in providing exceptional user experiences and delivering valuable healthcare outcomes to its customers.

In a sector such as health, and specifically clinical research, progress is rapid and everchanging. The fact that a company founded in 1998 continues to celebrate its anniversary and is a benchmark in this sector is due to the fact that it has undoubtedly known how to quickly adapt to changes and move forward with them. Dr. Mariona Cardona founded Anagram with the aim to guarantee high quality clinical research with medical devices and in that way diversified from the research dedicated exclusively to drugs. The company began its activity in the area of cardiovascular investigation and soon gained experience in other cutting-edge clinical development areas, accumulating extensive experience in most therapeutic areas and most notably in cardiology, neurology and oncology. BHH member Anagram has managed more than 165 clinical studies in which more than 3,300 hospitals and over 87,000 patients have participated. The results of some of the investigations led by Anagram have been published in prestigious journals and have incorporated changes in standard clinical practice, in several indications. Anagram leads research with medical devices in Spain, especially in cardiology and neurology. Silvia Casellas joined Anagram as Director of Clinical Research and CEO in 2018, bringing in more than 20 years' experience in leading international projects in multiple indications. As a result, a number of clients showed interest in expanding their clinical trials internationally. The company belongs to the 4CT (For Clinical Trials) group, aimed at offering a 360º service in clinical studies. The central event of the 25th Anniversary celebration will be held in May at the BHH Headquarters in the emblematic Recinto Modernista de Sant Pau, in Barcelona and will bring together the most prominent representatives of the clinical research sector.

BHH member Mediktor is the most advanced clinically validated AI-based medical assistant for triage and pre-diagnosis that guides patients to the right level of care at the right time – improving access  while enabling more efficient care navigation. 

Columbia Memorial Health (CMH) today announced the launch of its state of the art digital “Symptom Checker” technology—the region’s first online virtual medical assistant that will allow patients to efficiently assess and triage their symptoms and quickly access the care they need. The service is an advanced symptom checking tool that combines the use of Artificial Intelligence algorithms with Natural Language processing and Machine Learning techniques to provide a human-like and easy to use experience to the user. The virtual assistant is available to everyone in the state of New York. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Patients simply can enter their symptoms in their own words. BHH member Mediktor’s AI-based white labeled virtual assistant will perform the triage through a series of simple questions to develop a patient-specific recommendation that will direct them to the right level of care. Patients benefit by being directed to the most appropriate point of entry to care, therebyreducing wait times and eliminating any unnecessary steps or interactions. The net impact will be a more seamless and simple experience for the patient and more efficient utilization of medical services. Dr. Ronald Pope, CMH’s Vice President of Medical Services, Care Centers, said: “CMH is working every day to provide high quality, compassionate care to our community. This state of the art technology represents the next step in our commitment to continually advance the quality and accessibility of our services. In every instance, this service will guide patients to a care provider whose expertise and experience best match the patient’s needs. It’s a big step into the future of medicine that will provide a more efficient, effective and pleasant experience for our patients.” Vicenç Ferrer, Mediktor’s Managing Director NYC Office, said: “We are very excited about this partnership that is totally aligned with our mission to collaborate with leading healthcare systems to improve access to healthcare worldwide. Mediktor’s technology will empower CMH established and non-established patients by offering them healthcare guidance at the first onset of symptoms, increasing the overall patient experience and quality of care.” The new CMH Symptom Checker service can be accessed on the CMH homepage, on the CMH App (available at the Apple App Store and Google Play for Android, or directly here.

BHH members Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau and Mediktor join forces, implementing the first gynecological emergency triage based on Artificial Intelligence. The hospital will use Mediktor’s triage system in the testing phase to direct patients from Gynecology and Obstetrics emergencies to the most appropriate level of care, reducing barriers for access to healthcare. In this way, the hospital aims to better organize urgent demand and optimize its resources, offering better assistance. Mediktor, the digital health startup, offers a tool to refocus and improve care at the emergency room, guiding patients from the beginning and prioritizing their care more effectively. The triage solution represents a great opportunity to identify high-risk patients who come to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Emergency Department, helping midwives to efficiently allocate available resources. A hybrid model with professionals from Sant Pau and artificial intelligence from Mediktor can represent a significant benefit in the provision of services, directing patients to the appropriate level of care to solve their health problem while reducing the cost associated with standardizing processes. "Mediktor's technology will allow us to improve the efficiency of advanced triage in Obstetrics and Gynecology emergencies, classifying patients based on their level of urgency and reducing the diagnosis time," says Josep Estadella, Outpatient Gynecology Process Coordinator HSCSP and ASSIR Guinardó-Sant Pau at the Sant Pau’s Hospital . "The use of an AI triage solution represents an improvement in the quality of care for women, providing teams with an extraordinary evaluation and diagnosis tool and shortening times, achieving greater efficiency," mentions Anna Ramos de Luís, Supervising Carrier of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Sant Pau’s Hospital. AI-based triage procedures allow for improved accuracy and reduced inter-individual variability. Reducing the risk of diagnostic error, decreasing pressure on clinical staff and facilitating access to structured data, are some of the main benefits of the Mediktor for professionals solution. How does it work? Mediktor, through its AI algorithms and through simple questions, arrives at a list of possible pre-diagnoses, establishes a level of urgency and suggests the medical specialty indicated for each patient. To date, Mediktor has performed more than 5 million assessments in the 26 countries where it has active clients.
