Cancer Patient Identification

Analyze pathology reports and identify positive cancer diagnoses in real-time so navigators can reach out sooner.

Cancer Patient Identification

Accelerate the Identification and Treatment of Cancer

Azra AI’s Cancer Patient Identification module leverages advanced AI and natural language processing (NLP) to detect cancer diagnoses directly from pathology reports in real-time. Designed in collaboration with leading healthcare institutions, this module automates the manual process of casefinding, delivering accurate and immediate results. By reducing the time from diagnosis to treatment, this module not only improves patient outcomes but also enhances operational efficiency across your oncology service line.

How Does it Work?

Unstructured data from pathology reports often hides crucial information, delaying the identification of cancer patients. Azra AI’s platform automatically ingests these reports, analyzes them using cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, and flags positive cancer diagnoses with unparalleled precision.

1
Step One
Our system ingests every single pathology report.
2
Step Two
It then uses cutting-edge AI and machine learning to see if there is a positive cancer diagnosis annotated in the report.
3
Step Three
If there is a positive cancer diagnosis, the system then looks to see what kind of cancer it is. All other non-cancerous reports are filtered out.
4
Step Four

The cancer-positive reports are immediately added to a “Care Queue”, which is a simple interface that shows all positive diagnoses in order of priority and urgency.

5
Step Five

Navigators can then reach out to the patient and start coordinating care in real-time.

Step Six

The Care Queue can be tuned as each system wishes in order to reduce or increase the volume of reports that are initially shown.

Benefits

Protect the most vulnerable patients by identifying their cancer diagnosis faster so they can be navigated sooner.

Reduce Time to Contact & Navigate Patients

Enables first contact from the physician and entry into navigator pathway within 24 hours of diagnosis.

Speed Up Treatment & Enhance Quality

Reduce the time to treat cancer patients, improving survivorship and other treatment outcomes.

Improve Capacity of Navigators & Care Team

Augment navigators and care coordinators enabling them to spend more time with patients and handle larger caseloads.
