MedIQ, a prominent digital health platform in Pakistan, is leading the country's AI revolution by making a multi-million-dollar investment into in-house Artificial Intelligence (AI) development. This strategic move is transforming the company from a traditional telemedicine provider into a data-driven healthcare system.
Building Local, Large-Scale Healthcare AI
This investment is more than just a technological upgrade; it represents a strategic shift toward establishing one of Pakistan’s first large-scale, healthcare-specific AI infrastructures. This system is being trained on local medical realities, ensuring its effectiveness within the unique context of Pakistan's healthcare challenges.
Transforming the Clinical Workflow
MedIQ’s new AI engine is designed to automate the entire clinical workflow, creating essential efficiencies for Pakistan's overburdened system:
-
Pre-consultation Triage: The AI guides patients through multilingual initial assessments.
-
Real-time Note Taking: It automates medical note-taking during appointments, freeing up clinicians.
-
Post-consultation Management: It assists with ongoing patient follow-up and care management.
This AI-driven efficiency delivers immediate benefits: hospitals reduce time spent on documentation, and patient throughput increases. For clinicians who frequently handle dozens of patients per shift, this infusion of AI is crucial to easing their operational burden.
