is an easy-to-use tool to help in the antibiotic prescription process applying complex algorithms based on the latest artificial inteligence technologies to accurately predict which is the best antibiotic for a specific patient, both in the hospital and primary care setting, before the definitive microbiological results (bacterial identification and antibiogram) are available.
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 significantly improves the empirical therapy. thus reducing the morbidity and mortality of infections
The misuse of antimicrobials is the main driver in the development of antimicrobial resistance, which is a global health threat
By optimizing the antimicrobial therapy, iast contribute to reduce the emerging of resistant bacteria in healthcare settings
Inadequate antibiotic therapy and antibiotic resistance entails an enormous cost to healthcare systems
iast improves the infection outcome reducing hospital lenght of stay and saving an enormous amount of money to healthcare systems
