Semantic Precision in Chronic Health Management
Our AI doesn’t just collect data—it understands it. Leveraging Intelligent Semantic Labelling, we offer insurers a nuanced approach to managing Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). By interpreting complex health data with precision, our AI identifies patterns and predicts outcomes, fostering proactive care strategies that can significantly reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
Early Risk Detection and Maternal Health
KOS AI is at the forefront of transforming maternal health care. By detecting early risks, we’re not only reducing healthcare costs but also safeguarding the health of mothers and their babies. Our technology has the potential to prevent 30% to 50% of hospitalizations related to pregnancies, representing substantial savings of $10k-$25k per case.
Cost-effective Solutions: Our Commitment to Accessibility
Our commitment is to health accessibility. That’s why we provide our devices and services at no upfront cost. We believe in shared success—earning just 35% of the savings generated from reduced hospitalizations, ensuring our incentives are fully aligned with the health outcomes of those we serve.
With KOS, embrace a future where health management is more predictive, more effective, and more aligned with the needs of individuals and healthcare systems alike.
