Empowering Human-AI Collaboration
Productive Co-Intelligence!
Experience the power of AI in care with Co-Intelligence. Our unique approach emphasises the partnership between humans and AI to achieve optimal outcomes for patients and employees alike.
1. Preparedness
Preparedness is the first step for companies to assess their readiness for adopting artificial intelligence. This includes evaluating data quality, digital maturity, talent gaps, and leadership awareness. Companies should promote AI literacy, create governance frameworks, and invest in education and change management to build a supportive environment and set realistic expectations.
2. Impact analysis
Impact analysis evaluates how AI can benefit an organisation by assessing risks, costs, and implications. It reviews workflows, customer journeys, and data pipelines to identify AI opportunities while considering ethical, regulatory, and workforce factors. The outcome is a prioritised list of automation and augmentation opportunities aligned with business goals and measurable results.
3. Strategy
In the strategy phase, organisations develop a vision and roadmap for AI adoption by setting long-term goals, pinpointing key adoption areas, and outlining a phased integration approach. A strong AI strategy aligns technical feasibility with business priorities, addressing governance, scalability, vendor partnerships, and compliance, serving as a blueprint for decision-making and resource allocation.
4. implementation
Implementation turns strategic plans into actions, such as building AI models, integrating them, and launching pilots (Digital Twins). It involves collaboration among IT, business units, and data science teams, focusing on agile development, iterative testing, and feedback. Successful rollouts depend on clear KPIs, change management, and workforce training.
5. Anchoring
Anchoring requires integrating AI into an organisation’s core processes for sustainability and trust. This involves continuous monitoring, updating policies, and embedding AI in culture and decision-making. Leaders should promote AI ethics, transparency, and responsible use to meet stakeholder expectations.
6. Co-intelligent decision-making
Co-intelligent decision-making involves effective collaboration between humans and AI, turning AI into a decision-making partner. It requires trust, clear roles, and adaptive leadership. Successful organisations establish feedback loops where human insights enhance AI performance while AI contributes to better strategic foresight.
Case in Point:
Speech-
driven
reporting
Care-IQ’s feasibility study for Sosaro demonstrates that AI-enabled speech-driven reporting can streamline care documentation, improve care, and enhance staff satisfaction.
The study – a short-form Health Technology Assessment (HTAs) – highlights the importance of optimising reporting processes and training staff in structured methods like SOAP to ensure successful implementation. Results confirm that speech-driven (AI) reporting is a promising innovation for more efficient, accurate, and client-centered care.
Case in Point:
Digital
twins
Care IQ combines extensive expertise and experience in wards, operating rooms, medical imaging and radiotherapy with a deep understanding of the associated management challenges. We support specialists, department managers and their staff in optimising their departments through innovative technologies, including the use of Digital Twins and Patient Flow Centres.
By creating digital replicas of medical environments and processes, we help streamline operations and enhance decision-making. Our goal is to guide departments in evolving into recognised, mature, and efficient units within the hospital, ensuring improved patient care and operational excellence. With our tailored strategies and Digital Twin solutions, we empower care leaders to stay ahead of industry trends and drive impactful transformation.
Case in Point:
Care IQ’s approach to Social Return on Investment (SRoI+) analyses – wider in scope than average Health Technology Assessments (HTAs) – helps fix the “wrong pocket problem” in medical innovation by measuring economic, social, and environmental value across different areas. This encourages teamwork in funding and improves policy, guiding investments to create overall value for society.
“… to scale fast”
Sharing costs and benefits fairly is vital for expanding medical innovations worldwide. It improves access for those who are underserved, reducing health differences and building trust among governments, care providers, insurance companies, and investors. This maximises social return and ensures innovations are scalable and impactful.
