Phyathai and Paolo Hospital Group has officially launched Addwise Comorbid, Thailand’s first intelligent clinical intelligence platform engineered to assist physicians in systematically screening and evaluating comorbidity risks across nine vital organ systems. The deployment marks an evolution from the group’s digital health infrastructure toward a unified intelligent health ecosystem focused on holistic, value-based healthcare outcomes.
Clinical Intelligence and Evidence-Based Risk Detection
Addwise Comorbid operates as a clinical decision support system utilizing structured algorithms grounded in evidence-based medicine and published clinical practice guidelines. The platform replaces generic unstructured diagnostic pathways with systematic Review of Systems (ROS) methodologies tailored to Thai demographic data and clinical history, allowing physicians to uncover latent health risks before symptoms manifest.
Dr. Anantasak Abhairatana, Medical Director of Phyathai and Paolo Hospital Group, stated that modern healthcare complexity requires looking beyond isolated presenting symptoms to understand total patient health. “Over 40 years of patient care provides us with deep clinical expertise and an understanding of the patient journey. We are connecting that foundation with data and technology to identify risks earlier and deliver appropriate care at every life stage under our Partner for Life concept,” he noted.
Dr. Jade John Thepsongvajj, Director of Medical Data and Informatics at Phyathai 2 Hospital and Group Informatics Advisor, emphasized that the system functions strictly to assist rather than replace medical professionals. “The value of technology lies in how effectively it enables safer, more systematic care. Addwise Comorbid serves as a clinical decision support system, while clinical diagnosis and final treatment decisions remain entirely under the professional judgment of the attending physician ,” Dr. Jade John explained.
Longevity Assistants and Standardized Clinical Workflow
The clinical workflow integrates specially trained healthcare personnel known as “Longevity Assistants” (LA), primarily registered nurses who act as clinical navigators. These professionals interface between patients, physicians, and the software during regular waiting periods to collect comprehensive lifestyle and medical histories, optimizing clinical assessment without adding unnecessary patient wait times.
Dr. Thouantosaporn Suwanjutah, Director of Medical Standards for the group, noted that human touch remains essential to clinical workflows. “While technology organizes data systematically, human touch deepens our understanding of patient context. Longevity Assistants bridge clinical intelligence with practical clinical workflows, ensuring data, medical expertise, and multidisciplinary care move together seamlessly,” Dr. Tuantospom stated.
To support consistent implementation, the hospital group established the Addwise Comorbid Academy alongside the software rollout. The academy standardizes operational protocols, physician training curriculums, and staff certification programs to ensure medical teams operate under unified care standards.
Platform Implementation and Ecosystem Deployment
The software builds upon the group’s established digital infrastructure, which includes the Health Up mobile application with over 1 million downloads and integrated telecare consultation services. The comorbidity screening system references both internal historical health records and new patient inputs, matching age, gender, and risk factors against standardized global and domestic clinical care guidelines.
The program is funded through the hospital group’s internal digital technology development budget without imposing additional service fees on patients. System deployment is currently active across 11 hospital branches in the network, supporting on-site outpatient evaluations with multidisciplinary team referrals.
