Novant Health is turning to artificial intelligence in an effort to expedite emergency room treatment.
Novant is partnering with the health technology company Aidoc to incorporate an AI imaging platform that can assist in treating patients with sudden and severe medical conditions. Hospital officials believe the move could help free up staff overwhelmed by omicron patients.
According to a news release, AI medical imaging can rapidly assess conditions and provide treatment solutions for disorders such as blood clots, c-spine fractures, and hemorrhagic strokes.
Dr. Eric Eskioglu, an official with Novant Health, says the technology will allow physicians to more quickly identify and prioritize patients, as well as provide rapid life-saving treatments.
And an Aidoc official says AI will enable radiologists and providers to expedite care in overburdened emergency rooms.
Hospital leaders in the Triad have said that local health systems have been threatened in recent weeks due to the omicron surge.
