South Korea-based startup AITRICS has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ezCaretech, also based in South Korea.

Both parties will jointly explore new businesses related to artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for predicting patient condition deterioration using hospital information system (HIS) services.

The two companies plan to mutually discuss detailed plans for linking AITRICS' patient condition deterioration prediction software technology with ezCaretech’s hospital information system technology, and to concretise various exchanges and cooperation in the future.

Both parties expect to promote new businesses and strengthen their competitiveness in the domestic and international medical markets. In addition, they expect to enhance the product by combining AITRICS' AI solution for predicting patient condition deterioration with ezCaretech’s cutting-edge hospital information system, thereby providing medical staff with a higher possibility of treating patients.

AITRICS-VC (Vital Care), developed by AITRICS, uses a total of 19 data, including 6 vital signs, 11 blood test results, patient age, and state of consciousness, to predict the risk of occurrence of acute severe events (death, transfer to intensive care unit, cardiac arrest) in general wards, sepsis, and death in the intensive care unit.
