Atlanta, GA (November 13, 2024) — Inflo Health, the leading innovator in AI-driven radiology follow-up solutions, today announced the launch of a new partnership with Terrebonne General Health System to improve radiology follow-up care. The program will initially target the early detection and treatment of lung nodules, with plans to expand to additional patient care areas. The collaboration demonstrates Terrebonne General’s commitment to providing the best possible care for its community by leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance patient outcomes.
In this first stage, Terrebonne General is implementing Inflo Health’s AI-empowered incidental lung nodule solution, which leverages machine learning to identify and automate patient and provider follow-up. The program addresses a critical early indicator of potential lung cancer, accelerating detection and driving more timely interventions. This effort is part of Terrebonne General’s ongoing investment in innovative solutions aimed at reducing care delays and improving outcomes for patients in Houma and surrounding areas.
“At Terrebonne General, we pride ourselves on being a community-driven health system, and our partnership with Inflo Health allows us to stay at the forefront of innovation in patient care,” said Phyllis Peoples, President and CEO at Terrebonne General Health System. “Our goal is to ensure that patients receive timely, life-saving care. The capabilities and scalability of Inflo Health’s advanced technology will help us improve early detection and give our patients the best possible outcomes.”
“Terrebonne General is an institution deeply committed to improving patient care through innovation, and we couldn’t be prouder to partner with them,” said Angela Adams, CEO of Inflo Health. “Our technology identifies radiology follow-up recommendations earlier, and streamlines care pathways to reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment. Together, we’re not just improving outcomes for patients, but also setting new standards for care in the community.”
Lung nodules, which are small masses of tissue in the lungs, are often detected incidentally during imaging. While most are benign, early detection of malignant nodules is critical to preventing the progression of lung cancer. Inflo Health’s AI-powered tools will help Terrebonne General more effectively monitor and manage lung nodule follow-up care, ensuring patients are identified and treated more quickly, with fewer delays in care.
The partnership highlights Terrebonne General’s ongoing mission to deliver state-of-the-art healthcare services, tailored to the needs of the Bayou Region, while also embracing advancements that improve clinical outcomes. The collaboration between Inflo Health and Terrebonne General marks the beginning of a new era in proactive patient care, with plans to expand the initiative into other areas of disease detection and treatment in the future.
