HEURIS
Project Overview
About
Emergency clinicians must make rapid decisions while a patient’s clinical picture is still developing, increasing the risk that important diagnoses are missed. HEURIS maintains a live list of possible conditions throughout a patient’s emergency care. As vital signs, test results and observations are added, it re-ranks those possibilities and highlights unanswered questions or warning signs. The system does not diagnose autonomously, but shows its reasoning for clinicians to review. It could reduce cognitive pressure, unnecessary testing, delays and preventable harm caused by diagnostic errors.
