Vicomtech advances HealthAgent, an intelligent assistant for cardiovascular diagnosis

Vicomtech, in collaboration with Clínica de la Asunción and BCV Innovación y Desarrollo, is participating in HealthAgent, an innovative project that aims to transform access to specialized medical knowledge in cardiovascular diseases. The initiative, funded under the Hazitek program (2025–2027), tackles a critical challenge: how to process and apply the growing amount of scientific information in daily clinical practice.

Unlike other systems, HealthAgent focuses on large-scale analysis of books and scientific documentation, structuring knowledge to offer precise—and, above all, explainable—diagnostic recommendations. The goal is to reduce the cognitive load of specialists, facilitating agile access to insights extracted from scientific literature and thereby improving the speed and accuracy of cardiovascular diagnoses.

Currently, the project has completed the technical and functional specifications study, establishing the foundations of its multi-agent architecture. The platform will develop natural language processing (NLP) algorithms capable of extracting and structuring information from complex scientific and technical texts. Additionally, interface protocols have been defined to allow professionals to validate recommendations based on scientific evidence.

The project consortium combines clinical and technological expertise: Clínica de la Asunción leads medical validation, while Vicomtech and BCV Innovación y Desarrollo provide their know-how in artificial intelligence and advanced solution development. This collaboration seeks to offer a safe, practical, and highly technological tool, strengthening the Basque healthcare sector and opening new avenues for AI-assisted medical decision-making.

HealthAgent promises to become a benchmark in the use of artificial intelligence for health, demonstrating how technology can bring the most advanced scientific knowledge closer to everyday clinical practice.
