San Francisco, CA, August 31, 2020 – For its development of the COVID-19 Screener and Emergency Response Assistant (SERA), GYANT has been recognized by The University of California San Francisco’s Health Hub, an innovation hub and startup studio, in the “COVID Patriots” category of its 2020 UCSF Digital Health Awards.
GYANT’s COVID-19 SERA was developed specifically to help hospital systems better manage the demands of the global pandemic. The care navigation tool provides symptom screening and education by utilizing natural language processing to recognize a patient’s free-text input, delivering accurate, on-demand guidance. Nationwide, the COVID-19 SERA tool has conducted over 315,000 COVID-19 screenings to-date and has reduced customer call center traffic by up to 50 percent, while increasing total patients engaged by up to 350 percent.
Now in its second year, the UCSF Digital Health Awards is the largest industry awards event in healthcare, bringing together the biggest hospital systems, providers, payers, patient networks, government officials, VCs, incubators, accelerators and innovation centers in the United States. In the preliminary round, a panel of independent judges selects the quarterfinalists across 13 categories, using a set of parameters to assess functionality, validation and customer traction. The COVID Patriots category ultimately seeks to recognize digital health leaders in COVID-19 response.
“GYANT is committed to improving care experiences for patients and providers alike, and we are honored by this quarterfinalist recognition during a particularly trying time in healthcare,” said Stefan Behrens, GYANT co-founder and CEO. “Beyond this industry validation are the incredible results our technology has generated for 25 health systems across the nation. We’re humbled to play a role in addressing the global health crisis and hungry to lead in innovating solutions that make a difference.”
