Our take
AZmed delivers AI-powered radiology software to speed up X-ray detection and create more accurate images. Through its offering, the company helps to enhance patient care pathways by increasing sensitivity on scans and reducing the chance of false negatives.
While AI technologies hold immense promise in healthcare, they can encounter scepticism and regulatory hurdles. However, this is something AZmed appears to be tackling well thus far, as it it has already secured both CE marking and FDA clearance for its software.
Strong financial support will allow the company to continue developing its technology, aiming to expedite workflows for radiologists. Having established partnerships with prestigious healthcare institutions like the NHS, and expanded into CT imaging, the future looks bright for AZmed.
