Marseille, February 6th, 2020 – Avicenna.AI, a company specialized in the development of software for the detection of emergency pathologies in CT scanners, announces the completion of its first capital increase with Innovacom and CEMAG Invest for an amount of almost 3 million dollars. This is one of the largest fund raising in France this year in the medical imaging field.
Avicenna.AI develops new generation of algorithms dedicated to the detection of life threatening lesions. For detecting these pathologies affecting a large number of patients worldwide, Avicenna.AI offers healthcare professionals new tools of unrivalled effectiveness, enabling them to improve patient care, in particular by helping specialists to identify faster the patients who need to be treated as a priority in an emergency context.
Avicenna.AI was created by gathering experts in medical software and radiologists to offer solutions that are in line with clinical routines. This partnership has led to important collaborations with hospitals, research laboratories and one of the largest tele-radiology groups in the world, providing the necessary confidence to the major manufacturers in the field to integrate our solution into their offer.
“Avicenna.AI’s ambition is to become a leader in the diagnostic assistance for radiologists. By concentrating our efforts on emergency imaging, we will enable a reduction in interpretation time, faster patient care and improved diagnostic quality in a clinical context that everyone knows is tense. With this funding, Avicenna.ai will be able to commercially develop its product in Europe and register it in the United States, and continue its R&D program to reliably improve the radiologist’s routine,” said Cyril DI GRANDI, co-founder and president of Avicenna.ai.
“Our solution seamlessly integrates into the clinical routine and requires no additional interfaces for the radiologist, who is already overwhelmed by a multiplicity of them, whether dictating the report or viewing images. In addition, our software offers the dual advantage of being totally secure and offering unequalled performance in the detection of pathologies”, explains Peter CHANG, MD, co-founder and leader opinion in artificial intelligence.
