OUR AMBITION

we explore the use of AI on patient

data to improve quality of care, study

technical and non-technical implementation, and develop tools

so hospitals can self-manage

OUR APPROACH
Phase 1
Preparation
We ensure comprehensive stakeholder involvement from organizational, legal, and technical perspectives, prioritizing the inclusion of all relevant parties in an early stage, including care professionals who will use the AI solution. We place a strong emphasis on standardization, where data is prepared following a standardized format to enable the development and application of AI models.
Phase 2
Definition
We conduct workshops with care professionals to gain insights into and define patterns within patient records for each complication. These identified patterns are then translated into statements, which serve as our criteria. The criteria are utilized as a baseline model and to generate a weak labeled dataset. All uncertain cases within the weak labeled dataset undergo manual review to obtain a strong dataset for fine-tuning and validating our models.
Phase 3
Modeling
We train and fine-tune our models using both structured data (medication, lab, measures, procedures) and unstructured data (notes, discharge letters). To ensure transparency and foster trust, we use explainable AI techniques and facilitate workshops with care professionals to discuss the results. Together we assess if the explained patterns align with the patient context. The final algorithm integrates the models and criteria and undergoes validation on a new prospective dataset.
TIMELINE
The development and implementation of AI to detect complications is time and resource intensive. We therefore develop and use a tool that supports our approach at different steps, adding UI to AI.
TOPICS WE WORK ON
Patient events

Detecting and extracting complications from patient health records.

Human intelligence

Translating care professional's knowledge to criteria that form a baseline in our algorithms.

Adoption

Collaboratively implementing use cases and fostering stakeholder involvement to utilize artificial intelligence in healthcare.

Standardization

Standardization of data, and models.

Multimodal

Looking at patient records like doctors do. Including procedures, events, medication, lab, nurse notes, discharge letters.

Context

Finetuning to context differences, within and across hospitals.

Our name
Inspired by the Greek mythology of Parnas, our name reflects our belief in the power of taking measured and deliberate steps towards progress. Just as ascending the mountain Parnas requires patience and perseverance, we approach healthcare innovation in a similar manner, step by step, carefully navigating the complexities of the industry. With a commitment to incremental advancements, Parnas is dedicated to contribute to better healthcare by harnessing the potential of AI, one thoughtful stride at a time.
