Challenges
Complexity in Managing Extensive Research Data
The company faced significant challenges in managing and extracting relevant information from vast volumes of scientific literature, leading to inefficiencies.
Regulatory Compliance Burdens
Keeping up with regulatory requirements for new medical device approvals was time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Delayed Time-to-Market
The lengthy process of data extraction and regulatory compliance delayed the commercialization of new medical products.
Solution
We created a powerful AI-application with the following main characteristics:
Custom Templates & Research Strategy
Implemented centralized templates and protocol strategies to streamline literature search processes.
Data Extraction
Developed AI-powered extraction of performance outcomes from scientific articles whilst automatically building an audit trail by maintaining a record of where content was extracted in the article.
Intelligent Screening
Deployed AI-based screening tools to quickly identify and exclude irrelevant documents, enhancing the focus on pertinent data.
Business value delivered
Efficiency Gains
Achieved a 26% increase in operational efficiency in 2023, with a target of 40% efficiency gain in 2024.
Regulatory Compliance
The AI models combined with a Human-in-the-loop approach build fully traceable decisions and automatically provides audit-ready documents.
Enhanced Data Extraction
The capability to extract customized endpoints from scientific articles up to 100 pages long streamlined research workflows
objective
Use computer vision and AI to monitor joint swelling and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.
Partner company
Rheumatology Clinic
Challenges
Manual Detection of Swelling
Detecting joint swelling manually is labor-intensive and requires specialized training.
Inconsistent Monitoring
Variability in the assessment of joint swelling among clinicians affects the consistency of patient care.
High Volume of Data
Managing and accurately analyzing a large volume of hand photographs for monitoring RA is challenging.
Solution
AI-Driven Detection
Implemented AI to analyze hand photographs and detect patterns indicative of joint swelling.
Automated Preprocessing
Developed a system to automatically crop and focus on relevant areas of the hand photos.
Metrical Analysis
Used AI to monitor changes in joint swelling over time by analyzing finger folds.
Business value delivered
High Detection Accuracy
Achieved an accuracy of 84%, with 88% sensitivity and 75% specificity in detecting swollen joints.
Effective Monitoring
Demonstrated significant improvements in monitoring disease progression, as shown by decreased finger fold index (FFI) after treatment.
Efficiency Gains
Reduced the time needed for manual assessments and improved consistency in monitoring.
objective
Use AI to detect and grade radiographic hand osteoarthritis (OA) to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
Partner company
Large hospital and research center
Challenges
Manual Grading Inconsistency
Variability in grading hand OA among radiologists.
Time-Consuming Diagnostics

Solution
AI-Driven OA Detection
Used AI to detect OA in hand radiographs automatically.
Automated Grading
Developed models to classify OA severity consistently.
User-Friendly Interface
Created a web application for easy access and use by healthcare professionals.
Business value delivered
Increased Diagnostic Accuracy
Achieved 79% sensitivity and 86% specificity for detecting OA.
Enhanced Grading Consistency
Maintained 75% accuracy in grading OA severity, reducing variability among radiologists.
Efficiency Gains
Reduced the time required for radiographic analysis, allowing radiologists to focus on more complex cases.
