Are we finally moving past AI hype in healthcare? RapidAI believes so. The company has been working on something they call “deep clinical AI” – a thoughtful, targeted application of AI for radiologists. So far, it’s looking good.
At #RSNA24, RapidAI showcased its commitment to helping radiologists with the company’s AI solution designed to do more than just detect abnormalities in an image. Amit Phadnis, Chief Innovation and Technology Officer at RapidAI, sat down with Healthcare IT Today to share details on the company’s work on what they call “deep clinical AI,” a process that goes beyond simple triage to localize, quantify, and visualize disease states.
Key Takeaways
- Deep Clinical AI aids decision-making. Because RapidAI does more than detect abnormalities in an image (it can help visualize a disease state), it supports faster and more accurate clinician decisions.
- Clinician-Driven Development. As a clinician-founded company, RapidAI ensures its tools meet practical needs by using curated datasets and advanced image processing techniques. User feedback is incorporated at every step.
- Seamless Workflow Integration. RapidAI’s Rapid Navigator Pro integrates directly with PACS systems, allowing radiologists to interact with AI insights without switching between applications.
RapidAI Assists, Does Not Diagnose
Phadnis emphasized several times that RapidAI does not diagnose. Its AI provides insight and information to radiologists who can more rapidly (pun intended) and confidently render their diagnosis.
“We’re not here to diagnose for clinicians but to provide enough actionable information to help them make accurate decisions faster,” said Phadnis.
This clarification is important since radiologists are currently skeptical of AI that claim to completely diagnose a patient based on a single image.
Seamless Radiology Workflow with Navigator Pro
Rapid Navigator Pro is a tool that seamlessly integrates with existing radiology workflows. It allows radiologists to interact with AI outputs directly within their PACS systems, avoiding the need to switch between applications.
“Radiologists are already dealing with burnout,” explained Phadnis. “The last thing they need is more complexity. With Navigator Pro, we make their workflow seamless, letting them focus on insights without disruption.”
Features like automated structured report generation, prioritizing critical findings, and pre-fetching prior studies (even from external enterprise systems), further reduce documentation burdens, letting clinicians focus on patient care.
RapidAI’s success stems from its clinician-founded roots, bringing clinical depth to the development of its AI. Their solutions are built with careful curation of datasets and advanced techniques like image processing, ensuring their tools are both precise and practical. By prioritizing radiologists’ needs and developing AI that integrates deeply with their daily tasks, RapidAI is an example of how the thoughtful application of technology can significantly enhance healthcare delivery.
