Armenian programmers’ AI-based solution on display at HIMSS19

Armenia web developers are attending the international HIMSS19 Health IT Conference in Florida, USA. The event kicked off on February 11 and is due to close on February 15.

The conference gathers leading global companies that present tech innovations for the healthcare sector. The participants are healthcare, pharmaceutical enterprises and representatives of renowned medical universities, who offer innovative approaches and new technologies for healthcare.

A co-founder of National Health Operator of Armenia CJSC, Sylex SARL will have a separate booth at the conference to display its new e-health solutions including a diagnosis assistant based on artificial intelligence (AI).

The robot system developed by the Armenian experts can operate as an assistant to physician and help with precise diagnosing.

“Participation in HIMSS pursues two goals: present yourself and learn about innovations happening elsewhere in the world. As an IT company working in the healthcare sector, we follow general developments in the field. Our engineers also strive for new, bigger achievements. We attended HIMSS as guests every year, just to see the innovations. We are proud to participate this time, to have a booth next to the giants of the sector such as IBM and Oracle Corporation,” said Sylex SARL CEO Avet Manukyan.

According to him, healthcare sector has both huge interest and demand for AI-based solutions. Sylex SARL’s assistant can help physicians give more accurate diagnosis, avoid excessive tests and save the doctor’s time which can be spent on other patients.

“This solution is designed to serve as a tool for doctors. As soon as we prove its absolute efficiency through testing, we’ll be able to use our “doctor Lex” confidently. For now, we plan to test it in the universities. Senior students will try to compete with the AI-based solution,” said Sylex SARL Director of Business Development Garren Badalyan.

The company’s programmers worked on the robot assistance in cooperation with doctors and used The Merck Index and PubMed.
