The process of identifying a disease, condition, or injury from its signs and symptoms through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
How Does This Technology Improve the Patient Experience?
Although it’s common practice for patients to use internet research to self-diagnose, the results aren’t always accurate.
Results from common search engines are influenced by marketers who know how to have the information for their product or service appear first during these web searches.
A recent study* even found that too much online searching by patients causes a form of anxiety, called Cyberchondria.
On the other hand, an Aignosis is 95% accurate and gives patients a safe and reliable way to be more proactive with their health.
The process of receiving this health assessment before a virtual visit also streamlines the process and gives providers more time to focus on patient care.
*According to a 2020 study published in Comprehensive Psychiatry
How Does the Sniffle AI Engine Deliver an Aignosis?
Through any mobile device, the patient initiates an interview process, which is led by the AI engine on the Sniffle app. Sniffle’s AI engine draws conclusions from patient data provided during intake to construct dynamic medical interviews.
Here’s How It Works:
Collecting Initial Evidence
Intelligent Interview
Drawing Conclusions
Triage Recommendations
How Was This AI Engine Created?
It was built by a global team of physicians, scientists, and engineers, representing various specialties and years of experience.
Its development was based on over 13 million clinical encounters used to diagnose symptoms with efficiency and accuracy.
It was designed to draw from over 12,000 sources, including reputable journals, guidelines and publications from international health organizations such as the WHO and the CDC.
What Makes it Unique?
Sniffle is designed to be delivered to patients through any mobile device through an easy-to-use interface.
Sniffle's medical knowledge database is based on adult, pediatric and adolescent medicine and it can differentiate symptoms according to patient age.
Because our database is based on the knowledge and processes that doctors use every day, the AI assesses patients' symptoms in a manner similar to that of physicians.
With every answer the AI receives from a user, its assessment of probable conditions becomes more accurate. Using our machine learning, answers continue to be validated by the AI even after they have been shared with the patient.
Physicians from all over the world collect the patient assessments and keep the Sniffle database up to date with the latest research results, while looking at patient health from a holistic perspective.
