EnsoData is a good partner and their AI, EnsoSleep, helps our sleep lab run more effectively.
Stay tuned in for monthly updates on the worlds of sleep medicine and AI, and how they’re merging as we move through the 21st century.
Discover how EnsoSleep provides clinicians freedom to spend more time on patient care.
EnsoData is a good partner and their AI, EnsoSleep, helps our sleep lab run more effectively.
After seeing EnsoData scoring for the first time: “I’ve been waiting for something like this for 20 years… Looking forward to saving some time this weekend.”
The EnsoData team is intelligent, inclusive, on-task, very approachable, helpful, and willing and able to think outside of the box to help the sleep industry help sleep patients.
Shifting our scoring team’s mindset from ‘me versus AI’ to ‘how can this AI make my life easier’ was important. AI can’t replace the mental property and clinical expertise of the overscorer. That’s where specific clinical understanding and in-depth conversations helped validate AI.
Cadwell has developed and reviewed many solutions for autoscoring, staging and events in years past. While some events worked relatively well, some (especially sleep staging) never seemed accurate enough for our expectations. The AI scoring model from EnsoData changed that, aligning the scoring output to Cadwell and its customer’s high expectations of quality.
EnsoSleep AI scoring changed the way our night techs think about their work. Utilizing EnsoSleep allowed more time for experienced scoring staff to work one on one with night staff to address any recording quality issues. Embrace technology and change. If you are standing still, you are not growing.
When we finally said we were ready, EnsoData stepped up and worked through the implementation efficiently. They communicated directly with our IT team to make sure studies could be transferred to a central location for scoring and that we’d be able to remotely access studies for both labs.
EnsoSleep gave us the ability to leverage a core team of scorers, allowing us to control the quality of the reporting. My 40 physicians no longer complain about inconsistencies. If you’re concerned with efficiency and quality, EnsoSleep is the answer.
Our Sleep Navigation Program will streamline our preoperative screening process and simultaneously increase volume for our outpatient sleep center. This program will ultimately enable us to expand patient care and provide more holistic treatment and education to a population of patients that can now benefit from ongoing sleep care treatment and improved quality of life.
EnsoSleep AI scoring frees up time for us to enhance patient care, develop new programs, build relationships with our referring network of physicians, and improve quality reporting initiatives.
I think that automated scoring, using artificial intelligence, really is the future. Compared to human scoring, it is much more reliable, reproducible, and scalable. As things get more and more accurate, I really believe that AI scoring is where sleep medicine goes. And by accurate, I mean the scoring results are reproducible at scale and over time. There is far less variability from one scored study to the next, because the algorithm is applied equally across the board.
We’re very satisfied with the results we’ve seen with EnsoData and we feel we’re going to be more efficient and more cost-effective as a result. At the end of the day, we’re talking about how artificial intelligence provides a service that can have a tremendous impact on our ability to grow as an organization.
