A registered clinical device, the Compass Point of Care AKI & HAP app is a tool providing augmented intelligence in the form of decision support algorithms to support the early intervention and prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) and hospital-acquired pneumonia. Use of this app is proven by published clinical trials and real-world use within NHS and international healthcare systems to reduce both conditions in hospitals by up to 60%. The app delivers benefits to both COVID and non-COVID patients and is available to download for IOS and Android devices.
