Hindsait: Aiding Healthcare Get Better with AI

Pinaki Dasgupta | Founder & CEO | Hindsait | AI | Insights Care

There is a ‘perfect storm’ brewing in the US Healthcare Industry, which is crying out loud for innovative solutions to bend the cost curve and improve the quality of care. There are three distinct elements in the ‘perfect storm’ metaphor in US healthcare; rising cost of healthcare -$3.2 Trillion in 2017 or 16.9% of GDP, the changing business model from Fee for Service (FFS) to Capitated payment model or Value based Care, and Digitalization of US Healthcare- as initiated by Hitech Act in 2009.

Founding members of team Hindsait Inc. saw this ‘Perfect Storm’ scenario both as a huge challenge yet an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to innovate and transform healthcare to make a huge societal impact, which was the guiding motivation for team-Hindsait to come together and transform US Healthcare system for good.

Hindsait is a Delaware incorporated C-Corp. The company’s Artificial Intelligence platform enables payers and benefit managers to improve quality of care and reduce unnecessary health services, human errors, biases, wastages, and frauds.

Hindsait’s brilliance starts with its ability to ingest and translate physicians’ “unstructured free text” in patient charts within a context of clinical guidelines and regulatory requirements. These inputs drive machine learning and predictive analytics in Hindsait’s SaaS Platform that evaluate, score, and flag patient charts for specific actions like ‘Medical Necessity Determinations’ during pre-service as well post service reviews and audits.

The company has pioneered the application of an AI enabled utilization management solution that has been tested and proven with ~5 years of experience covering 20+ Million commercial, exchange, Medicare and Medicaid health-plan lives across USA. Its achievement is wide spread and speaks profoundly of the company’s success.

Here is a list of modular AI technology that has been consistently rated highly by industry acclaimed 3rd party analysts, media, and its clients alike:

Robotized Process Automation (RPA) toolsets, which offers the user with Automated Image Enhancement and De-skewing (AIED) algorithms that automatically detect and re-orient/correct de-skewing of images/faxed records and offer image enhancement techniques to addresses issues such as character erosions, dithering, ghosting, etc. Additionally, it allows them to process any input file formats. Further, its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) lets its customers convert images into text, along with the ability to detect regions with the hand-written-notes and scoring algorithms to measure the quality of output produced by the OCR reader.

Clinical Natural Language Processing (CNLP) Toolsets are top-tier and have been field proven. Its capabilities include uniquely parsing medical records to extract clinical concepts, qualitative or quantitative metrics, lab values, medications (Rx), provider’s names, facilities names, ICD 9/10 codes, CPT procedure codes, and so forth. Other proficiencies include temporal detection can tag the extracted concepts, ICD 9/10 codes, CPT codes with the associated dates of services.. Additionally, its CNLP tool can robustly detect negations to make extraction context-sensitive.
