The Hospital Clinic Barcelona, considered one of the best hospitals in the world, teamed with Mediktor to improve the experience for patients who suffer from tropical diseases and require virtual assistance. The hospital’s Tropical Medicine and International Health Service conducted an exhaustive content examination of the AI-medical chatbot database.
What are tropical diseases?
Tropical diseases encompass all those located principally in the tropics and are usually related to specific environmental circumstances (such as heat, humidity, and altitude) that are primarily common in these areas, mostly affecting poor and vulnerable populations. According to a study, tropical infectious diseases remain one of the major causes of preventable morbidity and mortality.
These affect locals and travelers who visit areas between and alongside the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn belts. Due to increasing migration, tourism, and work visits, countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe have experienced a raised incidence of such illnesses.
How Mediktor’s AI ensures a precise pre-diagnosis
When assisting users with symptoms, it is of utmost importance to comprehensively understand the individual’s unique context, just as a physician would. Every factor can potentially provide a brighter panorama of their health condition and cannot be ruled out, especially in the case of diseases with an epidemiological background.
That’s why, during Mediktor’s evaluations, users are asked to provide their location. If they decide to skip this question, and the algorithm still identifies symptoms related to tropical conditions, the system will automatically inquire whether they have been to or live in a tropical area. After that, the symptom evaluator deploys a series of questions to provide the most precise pre-diagnosis. The questions and related symptoms are based on an in-depth database created by Mediktor’s healthcare professionals. This database feeds Mediktor’s algorithm and is constantly updated and reviewed by external experts.
Mediktor’s collaboration with Hospital Clínic Barcelona
With a solid commitment to offering a safe and physician-led solution, Mediktor has asked the Tropical Medicine and International Health Department from Hospital Clinic Barcelona to review the AI-based medical chatbot content on this topic. This university hospital has been diagnosing and treating imported tropical diseases for over 40 years and is a leading reference center in Europe.
The review process involved different stages, guaranteeing the utmost excellence in the detailed epidemiological examination. Experts from the Tropical Medicine and International Health Department reviewed and tested a total of 45 conditions, including, for example, yellow fever, Chagas disease, malaria, or dengue. During this thorough evaluation, specialists at the Hospital Clinic provided advice on relevant symptoms and questions to arrive at an accurate pre-diagnosis.
“We are thrilled to be part of such a groundbreaking project, merging Hospital Clínic’s longstanding commitment to excellence in this field with Mediktor’s cutting-edge technology. I firmly believe in the power of such collaborations to transform patient care and improve outcomes in tropical medicine,” stated Jose Muñoz, Head of the International Health Department at Hospital Clínic Barcelona.
“By bringing the expertise of Hospital Clínic’s specialists closer to millions of users, we’re not only improving the accuracy and speed of evaluating tropical disease symptoms but also significantly enriching the patient experience in tropical countries. This initiative is a clear step towards quality access to care, ensuring supervised and physician-led assistance” – Oscar Garcia-Esquirol, Chief Medical Officer and Mediktor’s Co-Founder.
Marrying cutting-edge technology with world-class medical expertise revolutionizes the approach to health care for tropical disease patients worldwide. This collaboration provides immense added value to Mediktor’s AI-based medical chatbot, thereby impacting millions of people on a global scale who have traveled or live in tropical countries.
