Diagnoss launches AI assistant to reduce medical coding errors

Startup Diagnoss has developed an artificial intelligence-based coding assistant to help automate the painstaking process of medical coding and billing. The Diagnoss AI medical coding engine acts as a "sidebar" to electronic health records (EHRs) and uses machine learning to improve a clinician's accuracy. The tool provides real-time feedback to medical practices during the administrative process and helps to reduce coding errors on claims. Abboud Chaballout, founder and CEO of Berkeley, California-based Diagnoss, compares the AI tool to an assistant whispering in a doctor's ear. The AI tool works similarly to the Grammarly AI grammar-checking tool.
