WILMINGTON, DE – Docus, a pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) healthcare company, provides individuals access to the best medical care by harnessing cutting-edge technologies and top-tier medical expertise. The driving force behind the company’s mission is the recent alarming research conducted by John Hopkins, which reveals that medical misdiagnosis is the third leading cause of death worldwide.

Docus AI Platform Solutions

Recognizing the urgency to address the millions of preventable deaths happening each year, Docus seeks to revolutionize the healthcare landscape and minimize the occurrence of misdiagnoses, delayed diagnoses, and other breakdowns in the communication of a diagnosis. The Delaware-based company provides several benefits for users that streamline and optimize the healthcare industry.

1. Pool of specialists

Docus has already distinguished itself by providing access to over 300 top doctors from the U.S. and more than 15 European countries. The platform’s AI Health Assistant stands out for its ability to swiftly and accurately respond to health-related queries, generating personalized health reports that encompass symptoms, disease probabilities, and treatment options.

2. Doctor-Patient matchup

The critical importance of timely medical advice cannot be overstated, and Docus is addressing this need through its AI Health Assistant. By combining generative AI with a user-friendly chatbot experience, Docus enables real-time online consultations with U.S. and European medical doctors, providing human-supervised and validated opinions. As such, the company’s innovative business model has the potential to transform healthcare on a global scale.

3. Medical data

Docus’ AI Health Assitant utilizes generative AI and leverages other cutting-edge technologies like GPT-4, OpenAI Text Embeddings, and Vector DBs. Together, these tools power the AI-powered chatbot, which has been meticulously trained using extensive medical data to respond to user queries.

Reducing Wait Times

A key measure of healthcare quality is patients' wait time before accessing medical care. However, comparing wait times across different countries can be complex due to variations in measurement methods and healthcare systems. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) conducted a study on wait times, yielding staggering results. 

Disappointing statistics from Canada underscore this issue, as OECD research on Ontario hospitals revealed that 90 percent of patients experienced up to a 12-hour wait in emergency rooms in September 2022, marking a 17 percent increase compared to the previous year. Furthermore, once admitted, 90 percent of patients had to wait up to 45 hours to complete their visit, indicating a 40.5 percent rise from the previous year.

By pulling information from expert medical data, providing a diagnosis and relevant treatments, and matching a patient with the right specialist, all in a timely manner, the Docus AI platform is reducing wait times and thereby saving lives. 

Revolutionizing Healthcare

Healthcare is a tricky industry to administer because it demands speed but is hampered by necessary bureaucracy. This dichotomy can lead to rushed diagnoses, omitted data, and other inaccuracies. Just as a surgeon would use a scalpal, Docus uses AI to improve accuracy and outcomes to save lives.

Healthcare is the most important and consequential of the innumerable applications of AI. If AI can prove over an extended period that it can prevent deaths through accurate diagnosis, then healthcare will truly be revolutionized soon.
