Presentation of GiDi in Denmark

A series of meetings in Denmark has given Balidea the opportunity to present the benefits of GiDi, their virtual home healthcare assistant. The company received positive feedback at each of these meetings.

Following Balidea's participation in the Desafia Nordics programme organised by Red.es and ICEX in November 2024, we have received significant interest in our work in AI and healthcare technology. Recently, a team consisting of José Ángel Abeal, Anders Elfving, Iago Mosquera and Andrés Piñeiro travelled to Denmark to hold various meetings with potential clients and collaborators.

At these meetings, we presented GiDi, our patient guidance assistant designed to support home hospitalisation. GiDi facilitates real-time monitoring and communication with healthcare professionals.

The project involved the Home Hospitalisation Unit of the University Hospital Centre of Santiago and addressed global issues in Western healthcare systems. This is why it has been so well received by organisations and partners in Spain and internationally.

Of the meetings held, the one in the Zealand Region is notable, as it saw the launch of the eHospital project, which has taken the concept of the 'Hospital at Home' to a highly advanced level, producing spectacular results:

• 70% less time in hospital 
• Costs for admissions to eHospital reduced by 30-57% 
• Reduction in hospital-acquired infections and functional deterioration resulting from hospitalisation 

Very positive reviews

These meetings yielded valuable conclusions, which the members of this institution shared on social media: 

"Balidea presented its innovative solution: GiDi. This digital tool has the potential to transform healthcare work by saving doctors time and resources. Seeing how technology can increase efficiency while creating space for what matters most — conversation with patients — was inspiring".

"It is exciting to hear about GiDi, a virtual assistant which uses artificial intelligence to communicate with and monitor patients, freeing up employee resources. This means that the virtual assistant can support a consistent approach to patient care".

"This is such an exciting tool! Patients at home can receive support for their symptoms and treatments simply by talking to a virtual assistant. For nurses and healthcare professionals, solutions like this enable them to provide better care and support people more effectively".

Key features of the assistant 

GiDi was developed in response to the question: ‘How can the monitoring of hospitalised patients at home be made more efficient?’ With the aim of raising awareness and helping the elderly, it enables real-time monitoring by recording relevant clinical data, such as vital signs, symptoms and medication, directly in the electronic medical record. 

It incorporates an intelligent alarm system that can detect risky situations and notify healthcare professionals when urgent intervention is required. It also offers personalised recommendations to patients, such as medication reminders, care advice tailored to their needs, and proactive alerts to improve treatment adherence. This is achieved by interpreting detailed protocols, connecting to information sources and external services in real time, and processing data to generate reports, summaries and personalised conversations.  

One of this system's main advantages is its multi-channel flexibility. This allows it to be integrated into web platforms, mobile applications, messaging systems such as WhatsApp and telephone services. This ensures it can be used in a variety of contexts and environments. Its applications extend to various functions and levels, including nursing, administrative tasks, and patient management. These capabilities enable AI agents to provide information and assist with complex processes by automating tasks and facilitating real-time interaction with external systems.  

In addition, we believe that the following key points set it apart: 

All components of the solution, including the LLM, can be deployed either on the customer's own infrastructure on-premises or in the cloud. This gives customers two significant advantages: total data governance and the ability to manage service costs independently.
