Focusing attention to prevent complications

Presaj is an Iowa-based IT innovation leader that specializes in developing and commercializing proprietary technologies that combine engineering techniques and AI to create personalized risk data for healthcare providers.
Our risk forecasts uniquely account for all known risk contributors in the patient experience, including procedural variables (e.g., workflow), patient comorbidities (e.g., diabetes), human factors (e.g., fatigue), facility conditions (e.g., staffing, supplies), and social determinants of health (e.g., income, insurance).
Our clinical decision-support (CDS) app for healthcare providers at community hospitals identifies patient-specific risks prospectively and delivers actionable insights, preventing up to 40% of avoidable adverse events while increasing revenue and reducing costs.

Adverse events affect nearly 25% of U.S. hospitalizations, causing 250,000 deaths and $180 B in costs annually. Adverse events also expose hospitals to Medicare penalties and malpractice litigation.
Current tools (e.g., risk calculators, checklists) capture only a fraction of clinical risk because they focus mainly on patient factors and retrospective analyses of documented events to generate post-hoc insights. Meanwhile, increasing patient volume/complexity (i.e., older, sicker patients) and worsening labor shortages further overwhelm clinical teams and diminish care quality.
Up to 70% of adverse events are avoidable, highlighting a major market gap left by existing approaches.

Presaj converts preventable risks into predictable revenue.
Our patent-pending, cloud-based predictive analytics platform analyzes all known variables (i.e., not just patient factors) that create risk for each patient at the onset of care; and identifies the specific care steps most likely to precipitate complications and errors before harm occurs.
The result is targeted preventive action that improves patient outcomes, reduces costs, and increases revenue.
By focusing the attention of doctors and nurses on the steps with the most risk, Presaj reduces information overload and prevents adverse events before they happen.
Presaj has partnered with UnityPoint St. Luke’s Hospital, Newsweek’s Best Hospital in Iowa for 2025.
