    Advancing Breast Cancer Screening with AI

    FathomX is an edge computing based Medical Imaging AI Assistant that aims to enhance breast cancer screening with AI by reducing the inefficiencies and inaccuracies in the current care-pathway.

    •  A spin-off from the National University of Singapore and National University Health System, FathomX aims to improve breast cancer screening by significantly reducing false positive rates by 80% and interval cancer false negative results by 25%.
    •  Their core algorithm enables cancer-risk estimation through medical imaging and analysis of medical history records, producing a heat-map abnormal lesions for faster diagnosis and an AI Generated Radiology Report that follows existing guidelines.
    • Their Imaging AI aims to enhance the existing clinical workflow for radiologists diagnosing breast cancer (i) by allowing for faster readings and (ii) eliminating the double-blind reading requirement per screen for each diagnosis.

      Hello to Smarter Care

      HiCura aims to enhance patient care by improving the accuracy and success rate of the first-attempt needle insertion during epidural anesthesia with their AI based imaging assistant – uSINE.

      • HiCura Medical Pte Ltd is an NUS spin-off that was incorporated in Singapore in May 2019. HiCura uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare to enable automatic image guidance for medical procedures.
      • Their product, uSINE, increases the success rate of the first needle puncture attempt during neuraxial procedures such as epidural, spinal anaesthesia and lumbar punctures. This leads to higher patient safety and satisfaction, and better clinical outcomes.
      • uSINE’s machine learning algorithm improves image visualization and enables automatic identification of spinal landmarks. uSINE alerts the anaesthetist in real-time during ultrasound scanning of the spine when the right needle entry point and angle are found. uSINE has the potential to transform the current way anaesthetists are performing epidurals.

        AI Platform for Medical Images for South-East Asia

        Iota Medtech uses Artificial Intelligence to assist radiologist to prioritise medical scans that require immediate attention. Our platform reduces the amount of time needed to read each scan by highlighting the area of interest.

        • Iota AI helps to identify the “needle-in-the-haystack patient” in the queue and prioritises it by flagging it out to the radiologist in our software.
        • The AI solution can identify abnormal brain scans by flagging out images that require immediate surgical attention to radiologists, speeding up the delivery of acute treatment to patients suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury. This improves the traditional workflow of analysing CT images through the First In First Out (FIFO) method.
        • Iota AI model is trained using localised brain scans optimised for the South East Asia market.

          Accurate, Non-invasive, and Real-time Monitoring Core-Body Temperature.

          iTEMOSinc aims to enable the best Way to Accurately, Continuously and Non-Invasively Monitor Core Body Temperature using an in-ear device.

          • iTEMOSinc has created an in-ear device that can measure core body temperature real-time. The company has found two initial application for their technology 
            • Continuous monitoring of core-body temperature for high risk profession e.g. firefighters. 
            • Consumer-centric temperature monitoring for fever detection as a symptom of COVID-19. 
          • The technology employs an algorithm to compute core temperature using both aural-canal temperature measurement and in-ear auricle temperature measurement. Initial results indicate a strong correlation in output temperatures compared to the ‘gold-standard’- telemetric pill. 
          • Their initial product is ready for in-human trials which are due to be conducted in early 2021. The company has approached the Singapore Civil Defence Force to conduct in-human trials.
