KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Intelligent knowledge,
directly in your practice.

Guidelines, treatment schemes and price lists are uploaded, automatically understood and searchable in seconds — with four parallel retrieval strategies. Fully local, no cloud, with traceable source references.

OVERVIEW

Upload. Ask.
Reliable answer.

Three steps. No manual tagging. No cloud transfer.

01

Upload document

PDF, guideline, scheme or price list. The system recognises content automatically — terminology, products, diagnoses and their relationships are extracted.

02

Ask a question

Four strategies run in parallel: semantic search, keyword search, graph search and temporal weighting. Results are merged and re-ranked.

03

Answer with sources

Every answer is linked to the documents used. Traceable, transparent and verifiable — a prerequisite for medical usability.

MULTI-STRATEGY RETRIEVAL

Eight capabilities.
One combined search.

Classical AI knowledge systems use a single search path. Aescuris combines eight specialised methods into one result.

Semantic search

Understands the meaning of a question — not just individual words. "Wound not healing" also finds "stagnation in wound healing", without those exact words being used.

Keyword search

Reliably finds exact terms such as PZN numbers, product names or ICD codes — even where semantic search would miss them because no meaning trace can be detected.

Graph search

Recognises connections between concepts: "fibrin coating" linked to "phase 3" linked to "foam dressing". Cross-references between documents become visible automatically.

Temporal search

Considers temporal relevance. Current guidelines are weighted higher than older versions. Seasonal patterns are recognised.

Result fusion

Hits from all four search paths are merged. A result that appears in several strategies simultaneously receives a higher weighting.

Cross-encoder reranking

The best results are then reviewed by a specialised scoring model that analyses question and answer together. Relevance improves noticeably.

Insight derivation

New insights are derived from stored knowledge — even for questions that are not explicitly answered in any single document, such as patterns in treatment courses.

Automatic extraction

On upload, the system identifies terminology, products, active substances, diagnoses and their relationships. Manual tagging is eliminated entirely.

COMPARISON

Classical retrieval
versus Aescuris.

The difference between a single search trace and a layered approach becomes evident quickly in practice.

Classical RAG

One search path

Document Vector search Answer
  • Exact terms such as PZN or product names are poorly captured
  • Connections between documents remain invisible
  • No re-evaluation of relevance after the first search
  • No consideration of source recency
Aescuris Knowledge Management

Four parallel paths

Document AI analysis 4 strategies Fusion + reranking Answer
  • Captures meaning, exact terms and cross-references at the same time
  • Recognises relationships between documents and concepts
  • Re-evaluates each result in question-and-answer context
  • Considers guideline recency and seasonal patterns
KNOWLEDGE SPACES

One space per module.
Clear borders, clear answers.

Every Aescuris module operates on its own isolated knowledge space. A question about wound care will never inadvertently reach diagnostic documents.

KNOWLEDGE SPACE Wound care
Guideline S3 guideline on local therapy of chronic wounds
Schemes Wound types with corresponding therapy notes
Price list Dressings with PZN and procurement prices
Source selection by the physician
INGESTION PIPELINE

What happens
automatically on upload.

Each document passes through a multi-step process — automatically, without manual preparation.

01

Upload

A PDF is selected via the dashboard — a guideline, a treatment scheme or a price list.

02

Text extraction

AI-powered text recognition reads even complex documents fully — including tables.

03

Segmentation

Content is broken into meaningful sections. Chapter structure and prose remain intact.

04

Enrichment per section

  • aVectorisation as semantic representation
  • bExtraction of terminology, products and diagnoses
  • cDetection of relationships between concepts
  • dIndexing of exact search terms
  • eTemporal classification of the source
05

Storage

All components are stored in the local knowledge database — separated by knowledge space.

06

Immediately searchable

Right after upload, the knowledge is available to the practice team for queries.

ARCHITECTURE

Two AI systems.
Continuous availability.

Two independent knowledge systems work in parallel. Both are populated simultaneously on upload — an outage stays invisible to the practice team.

SYSTEM 1 Vector index

Fast, resource-efficient retrieval with clear filtering options. Guarantees availability even under high load.

  • Fast semantic vector search
  • Exact filtering by document type
  • Direct mapping to text segments
  • Fallback during maintenance of the second system
SYSTEM 2 Agent memory

Full multi-strategy retrieval with all eight capabilities — the qualitatively stronger search layer.

  • Multi-strategy retrieval with four parallel paths
  • Automatic extraction of entities and relationships
  • Cross-encoder reranking after result fusion
  • Insight derivation from existing knowledge

Both systems are populated in parallel on upload. If one fails, the other takes over — without data loss and without disruption to the practice.

DATA PROTECTION

Patient context stays
inside the practice.

01

Local processing

Uploaded documents and patient context remain on the AI server in the practice. There is no transfer to external providers.

02

Local language models

All language and embedding models run on the practice server. No API call to cloud AI services takes place — at any point in time.

03

GDPR by architecture

Data protection is not retrofitted but part of the architecture. Patient data does not leave the practice network.

04

Traceable sources

Every answer is linked to the document segments used. Transparency is a prerequisite for medical usability.

05

Isolated knowledge spaces

Knowledge spaces are technically separated. A query inside one module cannot inadvertently access content from another.

06

Practice data sovereignty

Uploaded documents, indexes and derived insights can be exported or deleted by the practice at any time — without involving third parties.
