Johns Hopkins Healthcare Selects MEDai’s
High Risk Prediction System

Baltimore, MD (May 19, 2000) – Johns Hopkins Healthcare, an HMO affiliated with Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, announced recently they have signed a multi-year agreement to implement the High Risk Prediction System (HRP) developed by MEDai, Inc. located in Orlando, FL. The HRP system will be implemented through a joint relationship with Discover Health also located in Baltimore.

Johns Hopkins Healthcare covers approximately 150,000 lives and will use the HRP system’s artificial intelligence technology to help improve the care management of its members. The HRP system uses MEDai’s Multiple Intelligent Computer Heuristics (MITCH) to examine an individual’s healthcare data to predict if they are likely to develop severe medical problems over a specific period of time. Individuals who find they are at high risk can proactively seek advanced care management to arrest the disease progression and possibly even eliminate it in some cases, resulting in improved treatment and quality of life

Andrew Larkowich, Chief Operating Officer of MEDai, said, “We are very pleased to have our HRP product serve such a prestigious healthcare organization as John Hopkins. Their use of our HRP system is a perfect example of how artificial intelligence technology can be employed to improve the treatment management of patients. When individuals can ascertain that they are likely to develop chronic illnesses, interventions can be made to lessen the severity or prevent its development altogether.”

MEDai is a computer information services company, software developer, and tools provider that uses artificial intelligence to assist healthcare providers and payors in the measurement of quality, efficiency, disease severity, and outcomes with superior accuracy and predictability.
