Optellum’s Virtual Nodule Clinic (VNC) is an AI-enabled precision care platform. The solution used CT images to identify, track and manage incidental pulmonary nodules. Optellum’s unique lung cancer prediction score uses computer vision AI to provide a risk score, supporting clinicians to make optimal management decisions for patients. Optellum’s Virtual Nodule Clinic delivers three key functionalities through its unique platform.
• Patient Safety Net AI: NLP-based AI that helps ensure at-risk nodule patients are not lost to follow up care by identifying all pulmonary nodules identified on CT for the appropriate team to review
• Tracking & Management: dashboard, which, through automatic updates, enables more efficient and more effective tracking of nodule patients under management to ensure patients are reviewed and followed-up in a guideline compliant manner
• Lung Cancer Prediction AI (LCP-AI) – a computer-vision AI diagnosis support function to assist respiratory care consultants, cardiothoracic surgeons and radiologists in the assessment and characterization of incidentally detected pulmonary nodules using CT image data. It supports improved and more consistent diagnostic accuracy, risk stratification and treatment optimization
Use of Optellum VNC empowers clinicians to make optimal decisions around patient care and drive both earlier lung cancer diagnosis for patients with malignant nodules and reduced unnecessary procedures for patients with benign nodules. This transformative technology streamlines triage, management and diagnosis of patients with lung nodules, which can be the earliest signs of lung cancer.
