At Azra AI, we believe every patient deserves timely answers and a clear path to care. Recently, our technology helped surface a critical finding for Margaret, someone who could have easily slipped through the cracks without intervention.
A Hidden Concern
Margaret came to the emergency department seeking relief from back pain. A CT scan was performed, but when she was discharged, she left without any mention of another detail in her imaging, an 8mm lung nodule.
For someone like Margaret, this finding was especially concerning. She had a history of lung problems and had been hospitalized multiple times with recurring pneumonia. Yet until this moment, no one had connected her ongoing symptoms with the possibility of something deeper.
When Technology Meets Compassion
Azra AI flagged the incidental finding and brought it to the attention of the health system’s Lung Nodule Coordination team. A Lung Nodule Coordinator quickly reached out to Margaret, who was surprised to learn about the nodule. She shared that it was the first time anyone had ever followed up with her after an emergency department visit.
For Margaret, that single phone call meant everything. She expressed heartfelt gratitude, not only for being informed, but also for knowing that someone was finally looking at the full picture of her health.
A Clear Path Forward
Margaret’s case was promptly reviewed at the health system’s Lung Nodule Conference, and she was referred to pulmonology for next steps. With this proactive follow-up, she now has the chance for early intervention, something that can make all the difference in outcomes.
Why This Matters
Margaret’s story is one of many showing how Azra AI empowers health systems to ensure no patient is overlooked. By surfacing critical findings in real time and connecting patients to navigators, we help transform what could be missed opportunities into moments of hope, action, and life-saving care.
At Azra AI, we are proud to stand alongside dedicated clinicians who use our technology every day to make sure patients like Margaret don’t fall through the cracks.
