Abstract:

CardioCube is an artificial intelligence-powered, voice-enabled digital assistant for patients.

One of the biggest challenge in clinical medicine are unplanned hospital readmissions. This applies especially to cardiovascular disease patients. Around 25% of them get back to hospital within one month of discharge. Recurrent complications and unplanned hospitalizations are devastating for patient’s health and produce overwhelming healthcare costs. Voice-first devices (i.e. Amazon Echo or Google Home) could help to obtain clinical data about disease-specific symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, vertigo, headache etc.). This information can be further combined with a hospital database, analyzed using AI techniques and presented to a healthcare provider. Better understanding of patient status at home may help to optimize treatment strategy avoiding medical complications.
