Kainos harnesses HP IDOL for next-generation healthcare analytics

LONDON, UK: HP Autonomy announced that digital technology solutions company Kainos has integrated HP IDOL 10.5, the new version of HP Autonomy's flagship information analytics engine, into Kainos' flagship Electronic Medical Records platform, Evolve.

Kainos is a market-leading provider of digital services to healthcare providers, and has been using HP Autonomy's technology for several years. Today, more than 50 hospitals in the U.K. use the HP IDOL-powered Evolve to improve service, quality of care and operational efficiency. Kainos recently completed integration of HP IDOL 10.5 to take advantage of enhancements in scalability, security and overall functionality.

HP IDOL 10.5 offers a substantial contribution to Evolve, and positively impacts the way healthcare professionals work. Many doctors can already access patient records digitally through tablets or other mobile devices. However, finding the relevant part of a document can often be prohibitively time consuming, as documents can be hundreds of pages long, and each document can use different terms or keywords for expressing the same concept.

HP IDOL uniquely recognises concepts, patterns and ideas in the vast troves of unstructured human information, which today makes up 90 percent of the world's data. In the case of the Kainos Evolve platform, HP IDOL 10.5 automatically ingests and segments the medical records and documents according to the concepts contained within the materials. This lets doctors find that crucial piece of information instantly, right at the patient's bedside.
