NeuroSmart is an AI-driven clinical decision support system (CDSS) designed to optimize stroke management by providing personalized, real-time diagnostic and treatment recommendations. The system enhances patient outcomes by predicting treatment responses and functional recovery trajectories through the simulation of various management scenarios.
Description
NeuroSmart is a machine learning (ML)-based system that processes large-scale patient data, ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 cases, to generate evidence-based insights for acute ischemic stroke care. The system's algorithm is built in several stages, starting with data acquisition and preprocessing, which involves collecting and cleaning patient records and medical images while ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. The next stage is machine learning model development, which evaluates various ML models, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Logistic Regression, and Deep Learning (CNNs & RNNs), for different stroke-related predictions. This is followed by backend development and deployment, which uses a technology stack that includes frameworks like Flask or FastAPI for serving ML models and databases like PostgreSQL or MongoDB for secure storage. Lastly, a user-friendly, web-based dashboard, built with React or Vue.js, allows clinicians to input patient data and receive AI-generated recommendations with confidence scores and visual analytics.
This system is distinguished by its ability to provide actionable, personalized recommendations rather than just predictions. Unlike models that rely on medical literature, NeuroSmart is trained on real-world patient data, which ensures its recommendations are directly relevant to clinical decision-making. Its continuously improving, scalable ML framework refines algorithms based on ongoing validation and clinician feedback. The technology is specifically tailored for acute ischemic stroke, ensuring a high level of accuracy and relevance, and it integrates directly into clinical workflows to provide immediate, data-driven guidance.Applications
