Avicenna.AI signs a distribution agreement with Sectra for neurovascular AI solutions

Avicenna.AI signs a distribution agreement with Sectra for neurovascular AI solutions

La Ciotat, France– April 27, 2022 – Medical imaging AI specialist Avicenna.AI today announced a signed distribution agreement with Sectra, an international medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company. The agreement will see Avicenna’s AI solutions for neurovascular pathologies offered through the Sectra Amplifier Marketplace, a platform for contracting, purchasing, and servicing of AI applications validated and verified for use at point of care.

Avicenna’s CINA solutions use deep learning to identify, detect and quantify life-threatening pathologies from CT medical images. The FDA-cleared and CE-Marked tools are seamlessly integrated within the clinical workflow, automatically triggering and reporting algorithm results through the systems already used by radiologists.

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and the second leading cause of death, with one death every 6 seconds worldwide. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot (LVO), and hemorrhagic stroke, caused by an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).

The AI tools to be included in Sectra’s Amplifier Marketplace include CINA-ICH, CINA-LVO, and CINA-ASPECTS.

  • CINA-ICH uses deep learning to identify suspected intracranial hemorrhage and prioritizes those cases in the worklist, dramatically reducing turnaround time for head trauma and stroke patients. (US/EU)
  • CINA-LVO is a triage tool for rapid automatic LVO detection and real-time triage and prioritization, accelerating clinical workflow and helping stroke teams in their diagnosis. (US/EU)
  • CINA-ASPECTS is an AI-based automatic quantification tool that enables faster, more consistent, and more precise interpretation for the assessment of acute ischemic stroke. (available for European Union only)

Using a combination of deep learning and machine learning technologies, the CINA solutions automatically detect and prioritize acute ICH and LVO cases within seconds, and assess them for severity, seamlessly alerting radiologists within their existing systems and workflow.

“To help healthcare providers get on the AI adoption journey, we have created the Sectra Amplifier Marketplace. We aim to facilitate easier access and usage of AI applications in medical imaging. This distribution agreement is an example of that. With Avicenna.AI tools deeply embedded in the Sectra diagnostic workspace, we provide our radiologists with enhanced diagnostic confidence for stroke cases,” says Nynke Breimer, Global Product Manager AI Radiology, Sectra.”

“We provide best-in-class AI triage tools that enable fast detection of the leading causes of stroke, leading to more efficient patient management,” said Cyril Di Grandi, co-founder, and CEO of Avicenna.AI. “We are glad to collaborate with a global partner such as Sectra. Through this agreement, we can help more clinicians to facilitate stroke decision making, ensuring a prompt therapeutic response and ultimately improving patient outcomes.”

Viz.ai and Avicenna.AI Launch AI Care for Pulmonary Embolism & Aortic Disease

Viz.ai and Avicenna.AI Launch AI Care for Pulmonary Embolism & Aortic Disease

San Francisco and Paris – July 15, 2021 – Viz.ai, the world leader in AI-driven intelligent care coordination has partnered with Avicenna.AI, a global leader in artificial intelligence solutions, to enable intelligent care coordination and improve patient triage of patients suffering from pulmonary embolism (PE) and aortic disease (AD). The collaboration will pave the way for faster clinical decision making and care for patients suffering from these two life threatening conditions.

Diagnosis and care coordination of patients suffering from PE and aortic disease can be challenging. Avicenna.AI’s FDA-approved algorithms for PE and Type A and Type B aortic dissection (AD), leveraged on the Viz intelligent care coordination platform, will empower multidisciplinary care teams to easily coordinate patient care by sending notifications paired with dynamic imaging and detailed patient information to each provider’s desktop or mobile device as soon as a PE or an aortic dissection is detected. As part of Viz.ai’s commercial aortic module offering, access to imaging and workflows supporting the coordination of care for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), rupture, stenosis and transection will be available in addition to the AD algorithm. Similarly, the PE algorithm will be available on Viz.ai’s commercial PE module.

“The addition of AI powered workflows should decrease the time from diagnosis to treatment and help to coordinate care for patients suffering from life-threatening PE and aortic disease, as it has in the treatment of ischemic stroke. It will help to facilitate faster and easier treatment decisions across health systems, and this should improve outcomes for patients,” said Dr. Richard Saxon, interventional radiologist Tri-City Medical Center.

The Viz Platform is clinically proven and validated by Medicare, which reimburses hospitals directly via a New Technology Add-On Payment for Viz LVO, the time-saving ischemic stroke product. Pairing team alerts enhanced by AI with high-fidelity mobile image viewing, patient information and full-stack secure communication enables multidisciplinary teams to make faster treatment decisions for patients. The result increases access to care and improves outcomes for patients.

“We are proud to become a trusted partner of Viz.ai, who is committed to giving access to high-standard healthcare systems worldwide. Thanks to our AI-based solutions, we hope to facilitate an optimal medical response within a short time frame and improve patient care. We look forward to bringing the benefits of our pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection triage tools to the emergency room and beyond,” said Cyril Di Grandi, chief executive officer of Avicenna.AI.

PE is a potentially deadly form of venous thromboembolic disease, a common cause of cardiovascular death, and is associated with multiple inherited and acquired risk factors affecting hundreds of thousands of people every year globally. PE occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung. Similar to PE, aortic disease is potentially deadly and can require urgent surgical intervention to prevent death.

“We’re delighted to partner with Avicenna to bring intelligent care coordination to the peripheral vascular and vascular fields. This will form part of a broader Viz.AI platform, where any patient with life threatening diseases can benefit from AI powered triage, fast mobile communication and synchronized care coordination,” said Dr. Chris Mansi, Viz.ai CEO and co-founder. “This partnership will bring the advantages of artificial intelligence to more patients and help hospitals achieve better clinical outcomes.”

About Viz.ai, Inc.
Viz.ai is the leader in AI-driven intelligent care coordination. Viz.ai’s mission is to fundamentally improve how healthcare is delivered in the world, through intelligent software that promises to reduce time to treatment, improve access to care, and increase the speed of diffusion of medical innovation. Viz.ai’s clinically validated platform leverages advanced deep learning to communicate time-sensitive information to specialists who can more quickly and easily make treatment decisions for the patient. In February 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted a De Novo clearance for Viz LVO, the first-ever computer-aided triage and notification software. Viz.ai announced its second FDA clearance for Viz CTP through the 510(k) pathway, offering healthcare providers an important tool for automated cerebral perfusion image analysis. A third FDA clearance was granted in 2020 for Viz ICH, which uses AI to automatically detect suspected intracranial hemorrhage on CT imaging. In 2020, CMS granted Viz.ai the first New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) for artificial intelligence software for Viz LVO.

Viz.ai is located in San Francisco and Tel Aviv and backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Google Ventures, Greenoaks, CRV, Threshold Ventures, Innovation Endeavors, Susa Ventures, Scale Venture Partners and Insight Partners.
