Functionality

AI Agent is tailored for Accident & Emergency (A&E) departments, automating patient onboarding and continuous monitoring to optimize triage and care delivery. It assists staff during patient admission, collects key health data, and provides real-time monitoring and alerts for critical changes in patient conditions.

Features

1. Patient Onboarding
   • Conducts initial interviews with patients via a tablet-based assistant.
   • Asks standardized questions about symptoms, medical history, and current condition.
   • Automatically associates patient data with a unique identifier from a wearable monitoring device (e.g., wristband or bracelet).
   • Generates an initial triage score based on symptoms and vital signs.
2. Continuous Monitoring
   • Integrates with IoT-enabled wearable devices to track real-time vitals such as heart rate, blood oxygen level (SpO2), body temperature, and motion.
   • Analyzes vital signs every 30 seconds for abnormalities or deteriorating conditions.
   • Updates patient status on a centralized dashboard for medical staff.
3. Real-Time Alerts
   • Provides immediate notifications to staff when a patient’s condition worsens, using visual, auditory, or mobile alerts.
   • Assesses patients’ recovery progress and informs staff about improvements or declines in triage scores.
4. Data Management
   • Logs all patient interactions, vital sign data, and alerts into an electronic health record (EHR) system for streamlined documentation.
   • Ensures compliance with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).

Example Workflow

1. Onboarding:
   • A patient arrives at A&E reporting chest pain.
   • The assistant uses a tablet to collect symptoms, previous medical history, and assigns the patient a monitoring bracelet.
   • The patient’s data is sent to the AI agent, which generates an initial triage assessment and updates the system.
2. Monitoring:
   • The wearable device begins real-time tracking of vitals.
   • The AI agent evaluates data every 30 seconds and identifies any warning signs (e.g., elevated heart rate or low SpO2).
3. Alerts:
   • If the patient’s condition deteriorates (e.g., a sudden drop in oxygen levels), the system triggers an alert for immediate intervention by medical staff.
4. Dashboard:
   • All patients’ vitals and triage statuses are displayed on a centralized monitoring screen in the A&E department.
   • Staff can drill down into individual patient data as needed.

Impact

• Efficiency: Reduces onboarding time, allowing staff to focus on critical care.
• Accuracy: Provides objective, data-driven insights into patient conditions.
• Safety: Enables real-time identification of critical cases, minimizing delays in treatment.
• Scalability: Supports large numbers of patients simultaneously, ideal for high-demand A&E settings.
