Founded in 2016 by three young entrepreneurs with a dream to make deep learning applicable in solving real life challenges, Aidoc is a radiology AI start-up focused on using deep learning to relieve the bottleneck in medical image diagnosis. The trio decided to apply their skills and expertise in engineering, data science, and artificial intelligence to the field of medical imaging on understanding the direct impact of AI advancements on the radiology workflow to help improve patient outcomes. Within a short span of time, Aidoc is, today, serving over 160 medical centers worldwide, improving radiology turnaround times and helping save numerous lives.
Aidoc is the leading provider of Artificial Intelligence solutions that support and enhance the impact of radiologists’ diagnostic power, helping them expedite patient treatment and improve quality of care. They help reduce turnaround time and augment quality and efficiency by flagging acute anomalies in real time. These solutions analyze medical images directly after the patient is scanned and notify the radiologists of cases with suspected findings to assist with prioritization of time-sensitive, and potentially life-threatening cases.
Novel Solutions Revolutionizing Diagnostics
Aidoc’s AI solutions encompass comprehensive coverage of time-sensitive pathologies and minimize bandwith spent on time-consuming tasks. It has FDA clearance for three of its acute solutions that flag intracranial hemorrhages, pulmonary embolisms, and cervical spine fractures. These AI solutions support radiologist diagnostics helping them prioritize life -threatening cases, subsequently improving patient care. Aidoc’s solution are the perfect radiologist aid – making radiology departments more efficient and accurate in their day-to-day work.
With Aidoc, radiologists also benefit from the state-of-the art deep learning technology that is “Always -on”, running behind the scenes and allowing them to focus on the diagnosis.
