Case Study
Transforming Diagnostic Efficiency with AI-Powered Co-Pilot Module
Client Overview
A multi-specialty healthcare network implemented the AI-powered Co-Pilot Diagnostics Module to enhance diagnostic efficiency and reduce provider workload. The goal was to allow providers to see more patients per day without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy and patient satisfaction. Through structured live interviews and real-time testing, the provider network evaluated the time savings and accuracy of Co-Pilot in managing complex cases such as vestibular migraine, pulmonary embolism, and lateral medullary syndrome.
Key Challenges
1
Time-Intensive Manual Diagnoses
Providers typically spent 6-12 minutes diagnosing complex cases in face-to-face appointments, limiting patient throughput and increasing workload.
2
Increased Provider Burden
Manually collecting patient history and symptoms for each case was time-consuming, adding administrative strain and impacting the number of patients each provider could see in a day.
3
Need for Actionable Insights
Providers expressed the need for a diagnostic summary format that includes a structured user history, clear diagnostic probabilities, and recommendations for further testing and screenings.
The Solution
AI-Powered Co-Pilot Diagnostics Module
The Co-Pilot module provides an automated triage and diagnostic engine that enables healthcare assistants or patients to complete an initial assessment, allowing providers to review and validate diagnoses quickly. Key features of Co-Pilot include
Automated Triage and History Collection
A dynamic, AI-driven questionnaire captures relevant symptoms, medical history, and patient complaints.
Precise Diagnostic Suggestions
The module calculates diagnostic probabilities based on patient responses and presents likely diagnoses with clarity.
Actionable Summaries and Recommendations
Co-Pilot generates structured patient reports with personalized history summaries, recommended diagnostic tests, and screening suggestions.
Case Results
Time and Efficiency Gains
Case 1
Vestibular Migraine
Co-Pilot Triage Time:2:15 minutes- Provider Manual Diagnostic Time:6:00 minutes
For a 38-year-old female presenting with recurrent dizziness and vertigo, Co-Pilot's symptom triage identified vestibular migraine with a 76.7% probability and provided differential diagnoses (e.g., BPPV, Meniere’s disease). Co-Pilot’s structured report allowed the provider to quickly review and confirm the diagnosis, saving 3:45 minutes compared to a manual approach.
Case 2
Pulmonary Embolism
- Co-Pilot Triage Time:3:30 minutes
- Provider Manual Diagnostic Time:10:00 minutes
For a 35-year-old male with leg pain and dyspnea, Co-Pilot completed a targeted symptom assessment and identified pulmonary embolism with a 92% probability, suggesting further tests (e.g., D-dimer, CT scan) to confirm the diagnosis. This process saved the provider 6:30 minutes, allowing for faster intervention in a critical case.
Case 3
Lateral Medullary Syndrome
- Co-Pilot Triage Time:3:00 minutes
- Provider Manual Diagnostic Time:12:00 minutes
For a 50-year-old male with acute dizziness, dysphagia, and unilateral weakness, Co-Pilot's triage identified lateral medullary syndrome with a 99.5% probability. The module’s rapid triage and recommendation for immediate neurological imaging allowed the provider to focus on patient stabilization, saving 9:00 minutes compared to a traditional diagnostic workflow.
The Outcomes
Significant Time Savings
Across all cases, Co-Pilot reduced the time needed for symptom triage and diagnostic assessment by 40-75%. The average time saved per patient was 4-9 minutes, enabling providers to see more patients per shift and reducing wait times for those requiring urgent care.
Reduced Provider Workload
By automating the initial assessment and providing accurate diagnostic probabilities, Co-Pilot significantly lightened the administrative load on providers. The reduction in time spent on manual symptom gathering and diagnostics allowed providers to focus on complex cases and critical care.
Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy with Actionable Reports
Co-Pilot's structured reports included user histories, differential diagnoses, and recommendations for screenings and tests, providing a clear pathway for further assessment. Providers reported increased confidence in Co-Pilot's diagnostic outputs and appreciated the detailed insights and actionable recommendations, which facilitated timely and accurate decision-making.
Methodology Used
Live diagnostic sessions were conducted with providers for each case, comparing the time taken by Co-Pilot with traditional manual diagnostic workflows. Time tracking was validated through provider self-reporting, and the accuracy of Co-Pilot's diagnoses was cross-referenced with confirmed outcomes.
Insights from Provider Feedback
Providers emphasized the value of having Co-Pilot's results in a structured report format, preferring the user history summaries combined with:
Targeted Recommendations
Clear guidance on necessary tests and screenings tailored to each case.
Diagnostic Priorities
Highlighted areas of concern to aid in focused patient assessments, particularly useful in critical or complex cases.
Differential Diagnoses
Ranked alternative diagnoses to cover a range of possibilities based on symptom overlap, improving diagnostic precision and provider confidence.
Conclusion
The implementation of the Co-Pilot Diagnostics Module significantly transformed the diagnostic process for the healthcare network. By automating symptom triage and providing accurate, actionable summaries, Co-Pilot improved the efficiency of patient flow, reduced provider workload, and supported rapid, data-driven diagnostic decisions. This case study highlights the potential of AI to elevate patient care while enhancing clinic productivity.
