Oncology App - Clinical Decision Support System

Hi, this is Ola form Cognitum. Today I will show you yet another problem which can be solved efficiently by CNL semantic technology.


The problem

Nowadays the medical knowledge is greater than ever. There are official medical guidelines that every doctor is obliged to follow. There are plenty of study cases and a lot of statistical data which help evaluate the probability of successful treatment. Every patient should have right to take advantage of most recent medical research. However, it is hard to do on daily basis. How can the doctor analyze all the books with medical data during patient's visit?

Our solution

Our Oncology Application guides the doctor throughout the patient’s visit. It suggests next steps of the therapy in accordance with up to date medical standards.
When the physician enters the essential information into the application, the system analyzes the clinical situation and tries to generate recommendations for the given condition. The recommendations are in accordance with European Society for Medical Oncology standards. It is the doctor who is still the most important in the decision making process but now he is aided with a professional tool analyzing the wealth of in-depth knowledge amassed in the field of medical oncology.
