Tiatros, a digital health startup that helps clinicians leverages social networks to work with patients to manage their chronic condition, has become the latest to partner with IBM Watson Health network.
The Tiatros CarePod uses IBM’s Watson’s Natural Language Processing API to get health information from a patients’ unstructured health data (such as posted conversations between the patient and their home care nurse or text responses to digital patient questionnaires) and integrates that data with other available health information to support a more complete view of the patient, according to a company statement.
University of California at Davis has done a pilot using Tiatros’ technology for cancer patients. University of California San Francisco will do a pilot evaluating the technology for patients with post traumatic stress disorder.
Transforming Patient Care: The Role of AI-Powered Assistants
The progress in artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping patient care, across various dimensions, from facilitating faster discharge to curating treatment plans and suggesting lifestyle changes.
The study will determine whether the cognitive digital assessment tool for behavioral health can more quickly identify PTSD in veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and better measure the impact of therapeutic interventions.
Tiatros is part of Johnson & Johnson Innovation JLABS incubator and was a Hive company at TEDMED in 2014. Tiatros CEO and founder, Kimberlie Cerrone, was trained as a patent attorney and has served as general counsel for software companies such as Net Perceptions and Everypath.
