Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular death in the European Union. Despite its severity, PE is a is a mismanaged unmet medical need. It is frequently underdiagnosed, particularly in high-risk patients, resulting into treatment delays and poor clinical outcomes.

Leading cause of cardiovascular death in worldwide
Preventable deaths per year in Europe
Mortality if undiagnosed or untreated
Of survivors are readmitted to hospial within 1 year
Direct costs per patient hospitalization
Hospital costs annually in Europe
Our proof of concept aims to confirm that our solution assists physicians in their decision-making process for managing PE.

Is an AI-powered clinical decision support system (CDSS) for PE management; lowering hospital burden and costs, and improving patient care. It aims to address these challenges by exploring how multimodal AI/ML solutions can offer more accurate diagnostic and prognostic insights, reduce clinical workloads and ultimately improve patient outcomes in PE management.
Unified interface to manage patients with Pulmonary Embolism across physicians especialties and care settings.
identifies potential pulmonary embolisms at their earliest signs, triggering timely alerts so physicians can act before the condition becomes critical to enable early intervention and preventing life-threatening complications.
Forecasting patient outcomes through AI-driven insights that help physicians anticipate complications and guide treatment decisions.
Quantify and understand each patient’s risk by analyzing key factors, such as smoking history or recent surgery, to support personalized care.
Deliver clear, evidence-backed guidance that explains the “why” and “what now” behind every AI output to turn predictions into actionable clinical decisions.
Leverages real-world feedback from clinical practice to continuously refine its algorithms, ensuring ever-improving performance, adaptability, and trust in evolving hospital environments.
