Israeli medical AI platform eyes Aussie expansion

The length of hospital stays could be slashed and missed diagnoses in busy emergency rooms could become a thing of the past thanks to an Israeli AI platform that helps doctors make better decisions.

Aidoc, founded in 2016, has developed a clinical AI platform that analyses medical scans including CT, X-ray, mammography and MRI images, providing results and prioritising patient cases within two to four minutes.

The Tel Aviv-based company’s technology has demonstrated remarkable results, with up to 98 per cent faster radiology turnaround times, up to 45 per cent increased awareness of critical findings, and up to 40 per cent faster care coordination.

Aidoc senior director for business development Rotem Geslevich said the platform could save lives by ensuring critical cases weren’t missed during busy periods or night shifts.

“If there are lots of people in the emergency department and you need to provide them with a quick result, or during night shifts when there are interns with tonnes of work who might miss some acute cases, we want to highlight the urgent ones and make sure they won’t miss the acute findings,” Geslevich said.
