MCI Onehealth Subsidiary Khure Health and Microquest Inc. Announce Partnership to Use Khure’s AI-enabled Clinical Intelligence Platform with Healthquest EMR
10 December 2021 - 8:42AM
Khure Health, a subsidiary of
MCI
Onehealth Technologies Inc. ("MCI") (TSX: DRDR), a
clinician-led healthcare technology company focused on increasing
access to and quality of healthcare, and
Microquest
Inc. today announced that they will partner to integrate
Khure Health’s artificial intelligence (“AI”) dashboard solution
with Microquest’s electronic medical record (“EMR”) software,
Healthquest. This integration brings the power of Khure Health’s AI
platform to support identification of patients living with rare
diseases to the growing number of physicians using Healthquest.
A fast-growing, Toronto-based health technology
company, Khure Health harnesses the power of AI to leverage the
vast amounts of information within a physician's electronic medical
record. Khure Health's platform rapidly identifies patients
potentially at risk of certain rare and specialty diseases. The
Khure Health platform can accelerate the time to diagnosis for
certain rare disease patients, from an average of approximately
five years down to just weeks. Earlier diagnosis can lead to a
better prognosis, longer life expectancy and reduced suffering of
patients and their families.
“We are extremely excited to partner with Microquest to provide
our advanced AI clinical platform to the thousands of Alberta
physicians using the Healthquest EMR,” said Don Watts,
President of Khure Health. “This partnership brings even
more immediate opportunities for Canadian patients to access care
options.”
With over 7,000 known rare diseases worldwide, it is very
difficult for physicians to have a sufficient depth of knowledge of
each disease or find the time to spend hours on research. The Khure
Health platform offers physicians clinical decision support to more
accurately identify potential rare disease patients and understand
their care pathways.
“The physicians using our Healthquest EMR will
benefit tremendously from our new integration with Khure Health’s
platform,” said Brandon Blanck, Vice President and COO of
Microquest. “The Khure Health integration will save
valuable time for physicians by eliminating potentially hours of
unnecessary research and diagnosis and ensuring patients get proper
care as soon as possible.”
