Paramedic Assistant-AI-powered clinical decision support

Example

If a patient presents with dizziness, the Paramedic Assistant can differentiate between potential causes such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, or more serious conditions like a stroke. It provides step-by-step guidance on the necessary examinations and questions to ask.

Scenario

In the case of a patient experiencing dizziness without clear cause, the Paramedic Assistant could guide the healthcare professional to perform positional maneuvers to diagnose BPPV or check for red flag symptoms that may indicate a more serious condition like a stroke, advising on urgent referral if necessary.

Example

Provides dosage recommendations, contraindications, and interactions for medications like Cinnarizine for vertigo or Prochlorperazine for nausea.

Scenario

When treating a patient with acute vertigo, the Paramedic Assistant can recommend an appropriate dosage of Cinnarizine, while also warning about potential interactions if the patient is already on other medications such as antihypertensives.

Example

Assists in interpreting ECG results, providing clear guidance on recognizing abnormalities such as ST elevation that might indicate a myocardial infarction.

Scenario

For a patient presenting with chest pain, the Paramedic Assistant can help a paramedic quickly interpret the ECG findings to identify potential signs of a heart attack, guiding immediate clinical decisions like administering aspirin or preparing for rapid transport to a cardiac facility.
