PIPRA wins the Primary Care Award from VHBC Europe, April 2023

PIPRA AG is proud to announce that its revolutionary AI technology for delirium prevention has been honored with the prestigious VBHC Primary Care Award by Value Based HealthcareCenter (VHBC) Europe. PIPRA's CE-certified, AI-powered software accurately predicts which patients are at risk of developing Postoperative Delirium.  An explanatory in-depth budget impact analysis showed that this can potentially save an average public hospital 2.2M CHF (2MEuro) annually by reducing the length of stay and improving patient outcomes. The VBHC Primary Care Award recognizes PIPRA's fresh and innovative approach, resulting in tangible benefits for patients worldwide. The award highlights PIPRA's excellent patient value in terms of real outcomes, real connections,and the advancement of primary care initiatives.

Meet the Winner of The Primary Care Award 2023: PIPRA AG from Switzerland PIPRA AG ’s team has developed a pre-operative risk prediction tool to identify patients at risk for Postoperative delirium (POD) that will provide clinicians with an objective risk score that can be discussed with patients and families, allowing a clearer communication of the risk and benefits of the proposed surgical intervention.Data from over 20,000 patients from over 20 clinical trials around the world were used to develop and validate the POD risk prediction algorithm which was then integrated with a browser-based and platform-independent user interface: the PIPRA tool. It can be incorporated into all modern hospital record systems.The idea is to empower patients and their families who will be able to give truly informed consent.An explanatory in-depth budget impact analysis showed that this can potentially save an average public hospital in Switzerland 2.2M CHF (2M Euro) annually by reducing the length of stay and improving patient outcomes. Two pilot projects have been completed in Switzerland and validated the usability of the software in the clinical setting. A third pilot project is underway.Congratulations to John Klepper and the entire team of PIPRA AG !We are looking forward to knowing more about your implementation efforts and scalability in the future!
