PIPRA

PIPRA AG, a visionary MedTech start-up based in Zurich, is at the forefront of developing revolutionary products that harness the power of A.I. and high-grade patient data for the prevention, prediction, and diagnosis of delirium. Our flagship product, PIPRA (Pre-Interventional Preventive Risk Assessment), is an advanced pre-operative risk assessment tool that accurately evaluates a patient's risk of developing postoperative delirium (POD).

With a user-friendly web or app-based interface, PIPRA's risk assessment takes less than two minutes, providing clinicians with a score-based evaluation to identify vulnerable patients. The underlying data behind our cutting-edge Algorithm has been recently published in the prestigious journal "Age and Ageing," showcasing our commitment to evidence-based practices.

By incorporating PIPRA into their clinical workflows, healthcare professionals gain valuable insights to implement targeted preventive strategies, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and reducing the incidence of delirium. This individualized approach optimizes healthcare resource allocation, ensuring that each patient receives the best possible care.

In recognition of our groundbreaking efforts, PIPRA AG has been honored with the esteemed VBHC Primary Care Award by Value Based Healthcare Center (VBHC) Europe. This award highlights our dedication to delivering exceptional patient value through real outcomes, meaningful connections, and advancing primary care initiatives.

Would you like to sponsor this conference?

We invite sponsors to join the European Delirium Association Conference, a multidisciplinary event aimed at advancing the understanding and management of delirium, and one of the world’s most important meetings about delirium. Delirium is when people develop sudden changes to their thinking, and consciousness. They can be sleepy, or agitated, and become forgetful or muddled. Some people hallucinate and develop problems with their language. Delirium is usually triggered by infections, or surgery, and although it recovers in most people, can lead to longer term problems such as dementia. Delirium affects up to 1 in 5 patients in hospitals, so is very common. 

Having a presence at the conference will allow sponsors the opportunity to connect with around 220-280 participants from across the world, but mainly from European countries, with both doctors, scientists and non-doctor medical practitioners working in a range of specialities from A&E, acute medicine, geriatric medicine, intensive care medicine, neurology, psychiatry, paediatrics, and anaesthetics.
