Think of this as a smart co‑pilot for ICU doctors when they prescribe and adjust blood thinner doses. It continuously learns from past patients and current lab results, then suggests the next best dosing decision—not just predicting what will happen, but recommending what to do.
Optimizing unfractionated heparin (UFH) dosing in intensive care units is complex and time‑sensitive. Clinicians must balance the risk of bleeding vs. clotting, interpret noisy lab values, and react to rapidly changing patient conditions. This prescriptive ML system helps standardize and improve dosing decisions, reducing variability, potential errors, and time spent on manual trial‑and‑error titration.
If deployed in a hospital network, the moat would come from proprietary longitudinal ICU datasets and tight integration into clinical workflows and EHR/medication systems; the underlying ML methods themselves are not unique, but retraining on local patient populations and regulatory/validation work create switching costs.

Early Adopters
Focuses specifically on prescriptive—not just predictive—support for UFH dosing in the high‑acuity ICU setting, likely leveraging rich, time‑stamped EHR/lab data and encoding clinical dosing policies. Compared with generic CDSS dosage calculators, it aims to learn optimal dose adjustment strategies from real‑world practice and outcomes rather than fixed clinical rules.
