ChestAi

Chest X-rays are currently the best available method for diagnosing different lung associated diseases like hernia, pneumonia, fibrosis, edema, emphysema, cardiomegaly, pleural thickening, consolidation, pneumothorax, mass, nodule, atelectasis, effusion and infiltrations. Our application can detect diagnosis of each of these conditions faster than an average processing time from a radiological laboratory.

The users private radiological data is analyzed on a secure cloud platform.

With approximately 2 billion procedures per year, chest X-rays are the most common imaging examination tool used in practice, critical for screening, diagnosis, and management of lung diseases. However, an estimated two thirds of the global population lack access to radiology diagnostics. With automation at the level of experts, we hope that this technology can improve healthcare delivery and increase access to medical imaging expertise in parts of the world where access to skilled radiologists is limited.
