Aidoc vs HINTS Exam

Aidoc - the leading provider of clinical AI solutions for enterprise imaging - provides the most comprehensive solutions for addressing acute conditions directly in the medical imaging workflow, activation care coordination across neurovascular, cardiovascular, interventionalists, and vascular surgeons and teams. The Aidoc mobile communication application streamlines communication to expedite time sensitive decision making and improve quality of care. The application provides AI-based prioritization and notification of a wide range of acute pathologies including large vessel occlusions and pulmonary embolisms, all through a secure HIPAA-compliant mobile application. Aidoc’s Always-on AI automatically fetches and analyzes every relevant exam to identify suspected findings. Once an exam is flagged, Aidoc then highlights the suspected findings directly in the medical imaging workflow. For an acute finding, the images and relevant EHR data (including trends) are then pushed into the mobile application to activate timely care team interventions. Clinicians can set their preferences in the mobile, including an on-call indication, site specification and specific workflows. Aidoc helps cut the time from scan to diagnosis, speeding up efficiency, time-to-treatment and improving quality of care.

This app was developed to enhance the HINTS exam by using a smartphone to better facilitate effective exam implementation and improve posterior CVA detection for enhanced patient outcomes within primary care, urgent care, and emergency care settings. This application allows for a streamlined screening process, with most full exams being concluded within five minutes from the start, and subjectively, being able to replay the exam video at half-speed allowed for a much easier and more confident assessment of nystagmus direction, skew deviation, and head impulse test corrective saccade with correct training and understanding of the exam's application. The smartphone application starts by taking the user through several screening questions to help determine if the application is appropriate or if a stroke workup is highly indicated. Videos are recorded for review and can be slowed down for optimal evaluation.
