iAST® is a software that aims to assist the doctor in prescribing antibiotics , accurately predicting the susceptibility to the most common antibiotics before knowing the definitive microbiological results (bacterial identification and antibiogram). iAST® applies complex algorithms based on the latest artificial inteligence technologies together with expert clinical knowledge to support doctors in the selection process of the best antibiotic for a specific patient.
A NEW TOOL FOR ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP
Supporting the democratization of antibiotic prescription by integrating a data-driven solution with the microbiological and clinical expertise
PATIENT EVALUATION AND SAMPLING
PRELIMINARY MICROBIOLOGICAL RESULTS
FINAL MICROBIOLOGICAL RESULTS
iast adresses the early management of infections by simultaneously combining the principles of evidence-based medicine with those of individualized medicine.
WHY IMPLEMENT IAST IN A HOSPITAL
Supporting the democratization of antibiotic prescription by integrating a data-driven solution with the microbiological and clinical expertise
Antimicrobial empirical therapy prescription is often inadequate, and this represents a threat to patients’ safety
iAST has demonstrated to improve the efficiency in antibiotic empirical therapy
The misuse of antimicrobials is the main driver in the development of antimicrobial resistance, which is a global health threat
iAST increases the proportion of use of antibiotics in the AWaRe Access category, fighting against bacterial resistance and favoring antimicrobial stewardship policies
Inadequate antibiotic therapy and antibiotic resistance entails an enormous cost to healthcare systems
By improving the efficiency in antibiotic therapy iAST could have a big impact in reducing healthcare associated costs
