Médis alters care seeking behavior in 83.9% of calls

Médis, the most recognized health insurer in Portugal, enhances their members’ and nurses’ experience and streamlines operational processes at their Clinical Contact Center with Infermedica’s virtual triage.

We needed a CDSS (Clinical Decision Support System) that could tolerate and analyze multiple symptoms. We also wanted it to reflect real consultation that considered risk factors such as predisposing factors, chronic history, and travel history. We also wanted something that was next generation that could provide a more comprehensive and accurate triage.

Frequently asked questions

  1. How is Infermedica different from traditional nurse triage tools?
    Unlike static protocol tools that follow a rigid interview flow, Infermedica’s Nurse Triage Co-Pilot uses AI to guide nurses in real time—adapting the interview flow based on previous inputs.
