Aidoc announces strategic hospital partnership that will advance AI in clinical settings

Aidoc announced a new strategic partnership with Isala Hospital in the Netherlands that will further advance the clinical use of their artificial intelligence solutions. 

In the July 11 announcement, Aidoc shared that Isala Hospital—one of the largest non-academic medical facilities in the Netherlands—will be integrating Aidoc’s AI Care Platform into their clinical operations, specifically in radiology workflows. 

“We are delighted to have a strategic partner like Isala, who truly sees the value of implementing AI at scale in radiology workflows and the downstream impact it can make,” said Alexander Boehmcker, Aidoc’s VP Europe. “AI is a tool that augments the radiologist and so when paired, the two complement each other and raise diagnostic efficiency. Hospitals like Isala with their visionary leadership are forging a new path, showing how AI will play a pivotal role in the future of hospital care in Europe through rigorous clinical research and perpetually proving AI’s valuable role.”   

The AI integration will include three of Aidoc’s 10 in-house developed algorithms included in their suite of CE-marked and FDA-cleared AI solutions. Specifically, the algorithms will be used for the triage and notification of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), pulmonary embolism (PE) and c-spine fractures identified on CT imaging. This will enable expedited diagnosis and interventions for patients with potentially life-threatening conditions. 

“At Isala, we have certainly found that value in the ability of Aidoc’s AI platform to complement our radiologists’ strengths. AI offers us a high degree of comfort amid periods of both higher and lower imaging volumes, and especially during night shifts. Beyond radiology, we also observed its ability to make a positive impact on the post-diagnosis patient pathway,” Dr. Rogier Van Dijk, Radiologist at Isala, said in a statement about the partnership.
