Aida (diagnostic tool)

2023: Tool Development and Implementation

In September 2023, the Moscow mayor's office talked about the creation of an AI tool to help doctors in the capital's polyclinics. The diagnostic assistant "Aida," developed jointly with "Sber," helps therapists and general practitioners in making the main final diagnosis based on the data of the electronic medical record (EMR) over the past two years.

During the patient's repeated visit to the doctor, the service analyzes all text data from the last two years, including the date of admission collected in the electronic medical record (EMR), including complaints and history, medical history, results of the initial examination, laboratory and instrumental studies. Based on these data, the model helps doctors in making the main final diagnosis out of the 95 most common and significant diagnoses, often requiring dispensary observation.

Aida diagnostic assistant based on artificial intelligence will appear in all adult polyclinics in Moscow

The Aida diagnostic assistant works as follows: when the doctor determines the final diagnosis, the AI analyzes the patient's EMR in parallel and also forms the diagnosis. If it coincides with the opinion of the doctor, the service informs that it supports the specialist in his decision. If the diagnosis is different from the one given by the doctor, the system signals it and offers its own option. The task of the service is to additionally "insure" the doctor by providing him with an independent "second" opinion. In this case, the final decision is always made by the doctor.

The press service of the mayor's office explained that the new system module is connected in the event that, during filling out the examination protocol in the unified medical information and analytical system (EMIAS), the therapist decides to make a final diagnosis to the patient.

We see huge potential in the use of artificial intelligence technologies for the development of Moscow health care. Already today, AI has been introduced into the routine practice of doctors of urban medical institutions. We move on and launched a new module of the medical decision-making support system in 24 polyclinics, - said Moscow Deputy Mayor Anastasia Rakova, whose words are quoted by the press service of the Moscow government on September 7, 2023.
