ezAssistant - AI Solution for Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines

Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death globally, with high mortality rates, particularly for critically ill and high-risk patients. Early detection is crucial. ezCaretech has developed an AI solution called ezAssistant, which provides pneumonia diagnosis and treatment guidelines based on clinical data. This solution supports medical professionals in their diagnosis and helps improve the quality of treatment.

Product Features

• Pneumonia Diagnosis Based on Clinical Data: By analyzing various clinical data such as medical history, symptoms, and signs, ezAssistant enables pneumonia diagnosis and treatment guidelines at primary healthcare facilities without relying on imaging data.
• Provision of the Latest Treatment Guidelines: Based on patient clinical data, ezAssistant analyzes the severity of pneumonia and treatment possibilities, recommending appropriate antibiotics and treatment options. This allows medical professionals to make faster and more accurate decisions.
• AI-Enhanced Accuracy: ezAssistant utilizes the XGBoost algorithm to enhance diagnostic accuracy, boasting a high performance with an ROC-AUC of 93.6%.

Necessity
Pneumonia is the third leading cause of death in South Korea, with mortality rates rising sharply among individuals over 50 years old. While existing pneumonia diagnosis AI solutions are primarily based on imaging data (X-ray, CT) and used in large hospitals, ezAssistant can be easily applied in primary healthcare settings. This allows for pneumonia diagnosis across a wider healthcare spectrum, helping to address gaps in medical care.

Expected Benefits

• Accurate Pneumonia Differential Diagnosis: ezAssistant helps differentiate pneumonia from other critical illnesses, supporting accurate diagnosis and enabling the early detection of high-risk patients, facilitating swift transfers to higher-level hospitals.
• Improved Quality of Care at Primary Healthcare Facilities: By utilizing AI analysis of clinical data, ezAssistant supports the medical staff in enhancing the quality of care, even in primary healthcare institutions.
• Economic and Industrial Scalability: ezAssistant can utilize a variety of clinical data beyond X-rays, making it easily applicable to various medical institutions, with significant potential for industrial expansion.
• Reduction in Antibiotic Overuse: By recommending appropriate treatments, ezAssistant helps reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions, addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance and improving patient health.
