Background

Amazing display of the power of AI and Natural Language Processing in healthcare. The team at Lazarus AI shared a demo of their program analyzing and summarizing 30 pages of unformatted healthcare records (including handwritten notes).

Applications

Impressive technology that demonstrates potential applications Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) and Fitness for Duty (FFD) assessments. Occupational medicine physicians are all too familiar with the daunting task of sifting through a massive box of records, making this innovation particularly valuable.

AI applications like this have the potential to generate large cost savings for medical review and record operations. An additional application for national and global companies’ HR and EHS departments that receive outside records from various testing (audiometry, spirometry, MRO, etc.) and medical clinics (occupational, urgent care, specialists, etc.).
