We are excited to share the results of our comprehensive pilot study of the HealthNavi Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), which demonstrates significant improvements in healthcare delivery in low-resource settings.
Key Findings
Our pilot study revealed several critical insights about the effectiveness of AI-powered clinical decision support tools:
- Improved Clinical Guideline Adherence: Healthcare workers showed 95%+ adherence to clinical guidelines when using HealthNavi, compared to inconsistent adherence without the system.
- Reduced Antibiotic Resistance: The system helped prevent unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions by providing evidence-based treatment recommendations.
- Enhanced Workflow Integration: Frontline clinicians found the system seamlessly integrated into their daily workflows without adding extra burden.
- Faster Decision Making: Real-time decision support enabled quicker, more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
Impact on Healthcare Workers
"Easy access, you just tap and everything is displayed. It makes our work easier especially if you have many patients than to go looking for things in the clinical guidelines."

"For the start, it is a good one because initially we could make mistakes. And kept on checking from clinical guidelines which would take a lot of time and make us commit errors. These things of move here and there, check for this and that would take a lot of time and in the process we would forget some important things to do with diagnosis during assessment of patients."

Looking Forward
These results validate our approach to supporting frontline healthcare workers with AI-powered tools that enhance rather than complicate their workflow. We continue to refine HealthNavi based on these findings and user feedback.
