Clinical GPS, MEDgle's app for providers, is a collaborative clinical decision making tool that instantly calculates statistically relevant diagnoses, level of emergency care acuity, relevant procedures and tests that should be considered, as well as the impact of test results.

Stop the Waste Spiral before it starts
Triage and initial diagnosis present the most critical fork in the road with regard to waste, increased costs, and medical errors. If a patient is mis-triaged or sent down an inaccurate treatment path, a waterfall of unnecessary waste and risk follows. Fast, accurate triage is the first step to high-quality, cost-efficient care delivery.

Clinical GPS is designed to address a growing list of critical initiatives that hospitals face in a changing world:

20% of readmissions are caused by misdiagnosis: increase diagnoses accuracy, reduce re-admissions
Customized reporting functionalities empower hospitals to validate justifiable readmission claims and avoid undeserved reimbursement penalties
Enhances training by providing Attending Physicians a quick and accurate way to check diagnoses made by front-line junior staff.
With ancillary health care professionals increasingly serving on the front lines, making critical decisions, Clinical GPS intelligently promotes best practices and guides care decisions across the entire health care team
Customized reporting functionalities for patients and their patient records increase trust and transparency, providing a basis for better doctor-patient communication and helping patients make better-informed choices about their care

Data alone does little to impact quality improvement in healthcare. Data-driven decisions drive quality.

1

medically triangulate the current health address

2

help find the best route to healthy

The current health address

A health address is made up of two parts: the current diagnosis (if any) and at-risk-for diagnoses given demographics and current lifestyle factors. An individual's current symptoms, their duration, age, gender, height, weight, previous conditions, family history, lifestyle, labs, and imaging are just a few of the parameters that used to zero-in-on the current health address. To triangulate these inputs into the current health location, Clinical GPS uses over 100 million data-points and complex mathematics. In addition, to refine the current health address, Clinical GPS identifies and prioritizes the best questions to ask and tests to administer.

Help find the best route to healthy

Given the current health address, Clinical GPS analyzes the alternative routes to help find the best set of directions (treatment, medication, and behavior changes) to destination "health". MEDgle provides the directions via 3 different reports: Triage & Care, Future Health, and Future Utilization.

Triage & Care Report (T&C)	Synthesizing all the data available at triage , the Triage and Care report clearly depicts the current ESI score, Fit Score, the associated reasoning and possible next steps into a clear roadmap for patients, nurses, and physicians. The T&C report contains ESI score, all relevant triage data, acute ddx, chronic ddx, symptom relief options, top result definitions, differential based symptom review (dynamic review of systems), differential based physical exam, relevant diagnositc options, and relevant theraputic options.

Future Health Report (FHR)	Based on variety of factors such as age, gender, lifestyle, previous conditions, family history and other, Clinical GPS' is able to forecast what specific chronic conditions an indivudal is at additional risk for. In addition, Clinical GPS determines the biggest-bang improvement areas, symptoms to watch out for, diagnositc tests to consider. This information is available via the Future Health Report. In addition this information can be done across an entire patient panel to provide an aggregate Future Health analysis that be used for patient segmentation for programs and more.

Future Utilization Report (FUR)	Extending the the Future Health Report (FHR), Clincial GPS combines this with probability distribution based algorithms and per procedure cost estimations to calculate the projected future cost and utilization per individual at any given time. This analysis can be aggregated into the aggregate FUR which can be used to improve program planning and resource allocation.

The following is a subset of the functionality provided by the API. For a full list and access please do contact us. We look forward to hearing from you! (contact)

Also, checkout the API documentation.

dologin	Use this and https with parameters "user" and "pass" to login as a corporate user. When logged in, the number of results and related information will be more than what is available for public access.

getinfo	This will return different information based on the value of the "q" parameter. MEDgle will automatically determine whether the query "q" is a symptom, diagnosis, procedure, or drug. Depending on the type of query the API will return different information.

gettranslation	This will return the medical term in the requested language. If there is a language you need that is not found in the list to the right, please contact us.

getcompare	This will return the necessary comparison information for a given set of diagnoses.

healthiermee	This enables access to the healthiermee analytics via the API. This will return Fit Score, at-risk-for diagnoses and more.

medsummary	Will return a semantic analysis of the document for a given URL, including title, main concepts, short summary, medical terms, medical category, and more.

gettype	Given a query string, will return whether or not the query was a symptom, diagnosis, procedure, or drug. If the specific string is not understood will return a empty string for the type.

understand	Given a query string, will return whether or not the query was a symptom, diagnosis, procedure, or drug. In addition, if the string does not specifically match, will apply fuzzy matching to determine to the best of its ability the specific understood string and its type.

getautocomplete	Given a query string will return all partially matching strings with the possible types of symptoms, diagnoses, procedures, and drugs. This provides the information necessary to enable medical/health auto-completes in search text boxes.

Powering Scalable Clinical Operations with Analytics

Clinical GPS, MEDgle's app for providers, solves the problem of clinical expertise availability and inappropriate allocation of resources. It provides key analytics that provide a basis for scalable integrated care.

It does so through provding a collaborative clinical decision making tool with key functionality such as instantly calculating evidence-based diagnoses differentials, level of emergency care acuity, relevant procedures and tests, and the necessary care personnel. Beyond providing real-time knowledge enhanced care coordination reports, Clinical GPS also enables physicians to off-load some of the clinical decision making to other health professionals. It is through the combination of both tactical and operational analytics that Clinical GPS enables scalable clinical operations and in-turn enables scalable health.

As a multi-channel application, Clinical GPS is designed for patients, nurses, physicians, and healthcare administrators. Though being usable in a number of different settings (call centers, retail clinics, hospitals, ...), its' functionality can be broken down into three main categories: tactical, operational, and platform.

The tactical features of Clinical GPS empower patients, nurses, physicians to make better health and wellness decisions in real-time. These include: symptom checker, quetsions to ask, differential diagnoses, triage level/ESI, relevant provider locations, labs, treatments, side effects, and more. In addition Clinical GPS provides real-time ESI, health risk, and resource utlization scores to help inform decisions. Beyond scores, Clinical GPS also provides reports detailing the reasoning behind the scores, the potential next steps, and their impact. (tactical feature details)

The operational features of Clinical GPS provide analytical support for long-term decisions, behaviors, resourcing, and resource planning. Clinical GPS thse in the form of dashboards, case history, case search, and reports (both indvidual and aggregate). Just as in tactical, Clinical GPS provies metrics (scores) and reports that articulate the potential roadmaps and their probable outcomes. (operational feature details)

In addition to tactical and operational features, Cliinical GPS provides numerous features that form the basis for a useable, integrable application. These features cross multiple categories impacting everything from business to technology. These include: collaboration, security, and integration. (platform feature details)

Features	Description

Symptom Checker (advanced)	Leveraging MEDgle's over 100 million data-points and complex math, Clinical GPS provides the world's best symptom checker. For a quick example please check out our patient health checker!

Questions to Ask	Using probabilistic entropy analysis, Clinical GPS is able to iteratively interact with the user, suggestions the right questions to ask to help narrow down to the right differential.

Differential Diagnosis (ddx)	Going well beyond a symptom checker, Clincal GPS provides real-time personalized evidence-based differential diagnoses. It takes into account symptoms, duration, age, gender, ethnicity, previous conditions, family history, vitals, medications, and more.

Triage Acuity Score (TSA)/ESI	Applying weighted multi-parametric probabilistic (MPP) analysis on top of our differential diagnosis analysis, Clinicial GPS is able to determine the present triage level or Emergency Severity Index (ESI). Our automated ESI score is within 94% concordance with physician chosen ESI scores. In addition, the ESI score acts as a proxy for the amount of care resources that will be required. (The paper currently under review and will be published soon!). Beyond the ESI, our TSA scores are a gradient allowing for more precise resource estimation and finer grained protocol usage.

Relevant Provider Locations	Mashing up providers, provider types, and our ddx, Clinical GPS is able to provide relevant hospitals and physicians for any given clinical situation.

Labs and Imaging	For any calculated differential diagnosis (ddx), Clinical GPS uses weighted entropy analyis to determine the best labs and imaging that takes into account specificity, sensitivity, and likelihood.

Treatments	Clinical GPS generates a list of relevant treatments and medications for any calculated differential diagnosis (ddx).

ARU Score	Measure to predict the nature and number of tests, therapeutic interventions, and consultations that a patient would need during his/her ED/UR stay.

Medication Side Effects	Given a set of medications and/or symptoms, Clinical GPS will determine possible medications that could cause the symptoms.

Triage & Care Report (T&C)	Synthesizing all the data available at triage , the Triage and Care report clearly depicts the current ESI score, Fit Score, the associated reasoning and possible next steps into a clear roadmap for patients, nurses, and physicians. The T&C report contains ESI score, all relevant triage data, acute ddx, chronic ddx, symptom relief options, top result definitions, differential based symptom review (dynamic review of systems), differential based physical exam, relevant diagnositc options, and relevant theraputic options.

Please note the following are optional and require Clinical GPS to store the triage/care cases. If Clincial GPS does not store the case history, the below operational features are still available via the cloud based API and can enrich your own internal datasets.

Features	Description

Care Dashboard	Aggregating the saved triage/care cases, Clinical GPS is able to provide metrics on case category, emergency level, tests done, and more through a UI.

Searchable Cases	Clinical GPS stores the cases in a univeral searable infrasturture allowing both keyword and facet based search. This allows for real-time ad-hoc operational analytics.

Fit Score	Based on variety of factors such as age, gender, lifestyle, previous conditions, family history and other, Clinical GPS' is able to forecast what specific chronic conditions an indivudal is at additional risk for. This risk is summed up to calculate a individual's total projected risk.

Future Health Report (FHR)	Based on variety of factors such as age, gender, lifestyle, previous conditions, family history and other, Clinical GPS' is able to forecast what specific chronic conditions an indivudal is at additional risk for. In addition, Clinical GPS determines the biggest-bang improvement areas, symptoms to watch out for, diagnositc tests to consider. This information is available via the Future Health Report. In addition this information can be done across an entire patient panel to provide an aggregate Future Health analysis that be used for patient segmentation for programs and more.

Future Utilization Report (FUR)	Extending the the Future Health Report (FHR), Clincial GPS combines this with probability distribution based algorithms and per procedure cost estimations to calculate the projected future cost and utilization per individual at any given time. This analysis can be aggregated into the aggregate FUR which can be used to improve program planning and resource allocation.

Features	Description

Big Data	MEDgle has been designed in a scale-out architecture to deal with billions of data-points. Currently MEDgle leverages over more than 100 million physician reviewed data points to power its analytics. MEDgle provides instantaneous, web-based, clinically relevant information covering 10,000 symptoms, 3,000+ diagnoses, 7,000 procedures, and 6,000 medications (and these numbers continue to grow!).

Big Analytics	Beyond a scale-out architecture, MEDgle has been designed to crunch millions of possibilities in seconds. The MEDgle platform is built on top of the most comprehensive known database of relationships between symptoms, diagnoses, drugs, tests, procedures and associated statistical information. Paired with decision algorithms and semantic search-enhanced data input capability, MEDgle is a powerful case analysis engine with a wide range of real-time, predictive health uses. Some of the techniques used by MEDgle include: Multi-parametric statistics (a form of multi-dimensional scaling that enables the linearization of large number of related probabilities) Entropy analysis (which increases the informational content of certain variables) Natural language analysis (gathering the meaning of a text based on the number of repeating words and phrases in the language experience of a human)

Multi-Channel	To empower each potential user with the most relevant interface, Clinical GPS provides interfaces that are optimized for patients, nurses, physicians, and administrators.

Security	Clinical GPS provides robust https access ensuring all the data is encrypted and secure. In addition, Clinical GPS can be used in a completely stateless mode to ensure security and confidentiality. This also makes MEDgle HIPPA compliant.
