Demand for Vocational Rehabilitation in Iceland has been stea-
dily rising in recent years where the presence of young patients
has increased proportionally the most. It is essential that public
spending is efficient without compromising the treatment quality.
It is worth exploring if a solution for increasing the efficiency in
this healthcare section is to use Artificial Intelligence (AI). An
innovative project on developing, testing, and implementing
specialised AI software in its services is being performed in Janus
Rehabilitation. The software, named Völvan in Icelandic, can
identify latent areas of possible interest in patient’s circumstances
which might affect the outcome of their treatment, and assist
specialists in providing timely and appropriate interventions. The
accuracy, precision, and recall of its predictions have been ver-
ified in two recent publications. Völvan seems to be a promising
tool for individualised rehabilitation, where patients are dealing
with difficult and complex problems. Janus Rehabilitation is in
the process of launching Völvan as an unbiased member of the
interdisciplinary teams of specialists. The aim of this report is to
introduce Völvan and the associated research.
Novel Innovation: Can Artificial Intelligence make Rehabilitation more Efficient?
