Short answer

How can I use AI to decide if pneumonia patients need hospitalization?

Your AI uses the CURB-65 score to evaluate mortality risk based on specific clinical markers. It then provides a recommendation for outpatient or inpatient care. You'll see the risk breakdown and the suggested setting immediately.

Clinical outcomes

Where care decisions land.

The AI processes patient data to categorize the necessary level of care.

OUTPATIENT

Low risk care

The AI identifies low mortality risk and suggests managing the patient at home or in a clinic.

INPATIENT

Hospitalization needed

The AI flags high-risk patients who require hospital admission for monitoring and treatment.

ICU

Critical care required

The AI detects severe risk factors that necessitate intensive care unit intervention.

HUMAN

Clinical validation

The AI provides the score and recommendation, but you must make the final medical decision.

The workflow

What your AI does when the patient data arrives.

The AI handles the math and the logic so you can focus on the patient.

  1. Analyze vitals

    Your agent looks at the patient's age, mental status, respiratory rate, and blood pressure.
