"I take it very personally. I'm an Emergency Radiologist. I'm a gatekeeper. I look at the imaging studies, decide if the patient should stay here and get admitted or discharged... For non-accidental trauma in children, we do such an excellent job. And then, when it comes to adults, we were not doing anything. So, I got motivated."
"On average, we can detect four years before the patient self-reports intimate partner violence. Knowing earlier can protect patients against more severe injuries."
"The tool, an automated clinical decision support tool for Intimate Partner Violence Risk and Severity Prevention (AIRS), uses radiological data and a patient's clinical history."
"Its accuracy is now roughly 80%."
