Title
AI powered early warning system for organ failure

Abstract

Problem: Every year 85 Million patients worldwide are admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) and despite treatment, up to 50% of patients die due to organ failure. The biggest challenge is that organ failure is detected too late. Interventions are therefore delayed and chances of survival decline.

Product: To give these patients a fighting chance, we created Foresight. A cutting-edge AI-powered early warning system for organ failure that creates a digital twin of the patient to predict their future. We deliver this as a SaaS web application, that can be downloaded on any ICU / Hospital computer. Proven to work on the world’s largest ICU data (250K patients), Foresight can predict specific, critical organ failures up to 48 hours earlier than a clinician – with 91% accuracy. Unlocking early intervention, accelerated recovery and relieving system-wide pressure of limited ICU bed capacity

Healthcare / Social Impact:
1. Precision medicine: Foresight monitors patient status in real-time, unlocking personalised , targeted care; improving patient outcomes post-ICU. Currently 35% of patients discharged from ICU die in the general ward.
Early detection of organ failure can reduce deaths by up to 30% for heart-, 47% for lung-, 48% for kidney-, failures and 65% for septic shock.

2. Preemptive care: With predictions up to 72 hours in advance, ICU staff can triage patients by severity, facilitating resource efficiency by decreasing length of stay, investigational / interventional costs and relieving workload.

3. Care Harmonisation, non-biased care: patients admitted to ICU globally, from different demographics and socioeconomic backgrounds may be disadvantaged by ICUs with limited resources /  digital maturity. As a unified platform Foresight’s AI overcomes any data biases and can operate in any ICU with unique targeted predictions for each patient.
