Certilytics, Inc. has introduced an AI-powered model that predicts a patient’s Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) risk, enabling interventions at both the population and member levels to improve healthcare outcomes with cost and efficiency measures.
Kevin Prybol, Certilytics’ Senior Vice President for Data Science, said, “By understanding SDOH risk, health plans, employers, and provider health systems can better meet goals such as advancing health equity, boosting member engagement, improving population health and well-being, and driving down costs. Healthcare leaders now have an AI-powered approach for testing hypotheses prior to implementing new programs or partnerships to ensure they’re creating real value.”
Health plans, employers, and healthcare providers can use Certilytics’ Patient SDOH Index (PSI) Score to develop new strategies for addressing social health obstacles, such as a lack of transportation, food, or access to non-emergency medical care.
The model is not only capable of predicting each patient’s SDOH risk, but it also applies deep learning to create individual patient “personas” that identify the top factors that increase that risk for personalized intervention strategies.
