NEW YORK and PROVIDENCE, R.I., April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Diagnostic Robotics and Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI) announced a partnership to bring the full capabilities of artificial intelligence to members living with certain chronic conditions. Utilizing Diagnostic Robotics' sophisticated risk identification and population health management capabilities, BCBSRI will work to deliver timely, personalized interventions to members with behavioral health conditions, congestive heart failure, and other chronic conditions.

Diagnostic Robotics' predictive analytics models and comprehensive toolset help payers, providers, and patients effectively manage clinical care and avoid unnecessary costs by focusing on targeted interventions, medical adherence, and hospitalization prevention.

Highly customizable tools will allow the BCBSRI care management team to proactively identify and monitor members with rising health risks (i.e. heart conditions, obesity, etc.) and deploy meaningful interventions. Meanwhile, an easy-to-use mobile app keeps members engaged and empowers them to connect with the right network care providers in the most appropriate, cost-effective setting.

"This is just the beginning of a very exciting partnership with BCBSRI," said Yonatan Amir, CEO of Diagnostic Robotics. "BCBSRI recognizes the need for a new generation of capabilities to enable proactive and personalized care. We are proud to be part of their mission to equip Rhode Islanders with cutting-edge artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to keep members healthier while staying smart about spending."

"Behavioral health issues and chronic diseases can take an enormous toll on our members and their families, but timely interventions and evidence-based clinical guidance can help them connect with the right resources at the right time," said Matt Collins, M.D., MBA, BCBSRI executive vice president and chief medical officer. "By applying the latest in machine learning, BCBSRI can better support population health. We look forward to working with Diagnostic Robotics to bring these added capabilities to our members and our customers."

Diagnostic Robotics already has deep ties with academic institutions and the state government in the forward-thinking state, including a research initiative with the Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Innovation and a partnership to provide COVID-19 response technologies to the Rhode Island Department of Health.
