Who in the healthcare industry can benefit from the tool?
Hospitals with clinical genetics capacity
myInfo: Patient info collection for triage or before the first patient meeting
How it’s used:
- Patients use this before their first contact with healthcare providers or during initial interactions.
- For self-referred patients, the tool determines the appropriate medical department (e.g., oncology, prenatal).
- Captures essential data from the patient, such as health profiles, reason for contact, and familial disease history.
- An intelligent feature (optional) can generate suggestions based on the gathered information, aiding healthcare providers in decision-making.
Benefits:
- Streamlined patient onboarding, reducing wait times and bottlenecks.
- Automated triage and prioritization ensure urgent cases are addressed promptly.
- The structured presentation of information ensures quick and accurate decision-making by healthcare providers.
myFamilytree: Pedigree Information Collection
How it’s used:
- Patients can directly proceed from the myInfo module or access the tool through a link provided by hospital staff.
- Using their BankId, patients log in and are guided to create a family tree, inputting relevant family medical history.
- The patient-created family trees can be shared with other modules, printed, downloaded, or exported in various file formats.
Benefits:
- Empowers patients by giving them a platform to share comprehensive family histories.
- Reduces the time hospital staff traditionally spends on collecting and organizing family medical histories.
- Digital format ensures easy integration with other tools and systems, enhancing data fluidity.
eConsent: Digital Consent Management
How it’s used:
- Seamlessly send and collect authenticated consents from patients and their relatives.
- Utilize BankId for authentication of consents.
- Receive and act upon automatic alerts once consents are received.
- Set automated reminders for patients regarding pending requests.
- View and adjust consent requests based on individual case requirements.
Benefits:
- Streamlined and secure consent process.
- Increased number of successful case completions.
- Reduced administrative overhead and associated costs.
i-Assistant: AI-powered Genetic Information Digital Assistant
How it’s used:
- Evaluate a patient’s eligibility for genetic investigation.
- Obtain automated suggestions on familial risks and further refine them.
- Receive recommendations for patient screening, monitoring, and preventive measures.
Benefits:
- Swift and precise decision-making for patient care.
- Efficient data management reduces operational time.
- Ensures patients receive appropriate and timely preventive measures.
i-Pedigree | Integration with myFamilytree: Streamlined Data Collection
How it’s used:
- The Pedigree Tool directly integrates with the myFamilytree module.
- Patients use the myFamilytree tool to enter their family medical history.
- Once entered, this data becomes automatically accessible within the Pedigree Tool, eliminating the need for genetic counsellors to manually create or transcribe pedigrees.
Benefits:
- Saves valuable time: Traditionally, hospital staff would draw a patient’s pedigree during consultation or transcribe data from a form pre-filled by the patient. With myFamilytree, this step is bypassed, resulting in significant time savings.
- Reduces potential errors and data redundancies by eliminating manual data transcription.
- Enhances the patient experience as they can provide information at their convenience, leading to more accurate and comprehensive data.
i-Pedigree | Comprehensive Pedigree Management
How it’s used:
- Beyond data collected through myFamilytree, the Pedigree Tool allows genetic counsellors to create, edit, view, and delete pedigrees.
- Features interactions with eConsent, eligibility assessments, familial risk assessments, and risk countermeasures.
- Enables the export of pedigrees in formats compatible with other tools.
Benefits:
- Offers a centralized and comprehensive platform tailored to the needs of genetic counsellors.
- Streamlines various aspects of the genetic consultation process through integrated features.
- Ensures compatibility and seamless integration with external tools and systems through various export formats.
Specialized Clinics (e.g., Oncology Clinics)
Specialized clinics encounter patients who may have potential hereditary risks. Determining these risks is vital, especially in areas such as oncology, where understanding genetic predispositions can have profound implications for patient care.
Patient-Driven Digital Tool: myFamilytree
How it’s used:
- Through this tool, patients are guided to detail their family tree and any associated medical histories.
- The same tool can be used by the staff to make initial assessment of potential hereditary risk, which is the basis for a referral to the clinical genetic counselling and test.
Benefits:
- Bridging the gap between specialized care and the need (but lack) of specialied knowledge in genetics.
- Enhances the clinic’s proficiency in amassing extensive familial data without necessitating extra staff resources.
- Encourages patient involvement, granting them a say in their healthcare journey.
Tools for Healthcare Professionals: Access & Interpretation
How it’s used:
- Leverage the Digital Information Assistant to effortlessly access and comprehend familial risks, understand the repercussions of monogene mutations, and discern potential countermeasures.
- With the Pedigree tool, staff can not only form and adjust a patient’s pedigree but also receive suggestions on which family members might need further genetic tests.
Benefits:
- Reduce the requirement of on-site specilised genetic experts
- Provides a useful framework for staff to understand a patient genetic predispositions and countermeasure.
Primary Care
Primary care stands as the frontline in healthcare, with family doctors often interacting with patients who have diverse health needs. Often, these professionals might not possess the specialised expertise to determine potential hereditary risks. The Arkus AI suite aims to augment their capabilities in this area.
How to use
myInfo: Patient info collection for triage or before the first patient meeting
- Guide patients to use myInfo, allowing them to input essential data such as personal health profiles, reasons for consultation, and details about relatives with specific medical conditions.
myFamilytree: Pedigree Information Collection
- Doctors can recommend patients to employ the myFamilytree tool. By accessing a dedicated link, patients can methodically document their family medical history. This information becomes crucial for doctors as they attempt to decipher familial health patterns.
Benefits
- Streamlined Patient Profiles: Using the myInfo tool, doctors can ensure a more organised pre-consultation phase, making sure they’re equipped with a comprehensive overview of a patient’s medical history before the initial consultation.
- Enhanced Understanding of Hereditary Risks: With myFamilytree, primary care professionals can capture a thorough family medical history, aiding in the identification of potential hereditary risks.
- Improved Referral Quality: Harnessing the insights from these tools, primary care doctors can make more informed decisions regarding patient referrals to clinical genetic centres. This precision in referrals can curtail unnecessary ones, leading to substantial cost savings for the healthcare system.
- Optimized Patient Care: Armed with precise information, primary care doctors can ensure that patients with evident medical needs receive attention promptly, enhancing patient care quality.
