Daktus Health

Daktus Health provides a platform focused on guiding clinical decisions to enhance cost-effectiveness in patient care. The company's system implements evidence-based medical protocols to reduce unnecessary examinations and procedures, which has been shown to lower examination and consultation costs by up to 70%. The platform integrates with major electronic health records on the market, facilitating adoption by embedding intelligent decision-making workflows directly into the existing user journey.

The technology is also utilized for remote patient monitoring. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company developed a system using a cordless portable sensor to capture oxygen saturation and heart rate data, which was then transmitted via a smartphone app to a medical team for real-time monitoring. This capability allows healthcare providers like hospitals, health management organizations, and insurers to monitor patients, such as those with noncritical COVID-19, freeing up intensive care resources. By analyzing patient data, the system helps medical staff determine the appropriate time for hospital admission, which can reduce contagion risks and protect healthcare workers.

Clients include hospitals and healthcare providers such as Unimed, Athena Saúde, and Pró-Cardíaco. The business model aims to optimize operational costs for healthcare organizations by improving the appropriateness of care and reducing expenditure on avoidable procedures. In one case study, the platform was credited with avoiding R$1.15 million in costs over nine months across more than 91,000 consultations.
