Fist: deeptek.aiAI powered radiology workflow management solution, I’m growing has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical use.
The Indian Association of Radiology and Imaging has released a report indicating a critical shortage of radiologists in the country. The ratio of radiologists to population is only one per 100,000 people, significantly lower than the World Health Organization(WHO) recommended standard of one radiologist for every 10,000 people. This radiologist shortage problem is not limited to developing countries like India; even developed countries like the UK, Japan and Singapore are grappling with this problem. This shortfall has a notable impact on the ability to diagnose patients accurately and in a timely manner, resulting in delayed treatment, increased expenses, and poor health outcomes.
He I’m growing The platform addresses this problem by incorporating AI in a transparent and responsible way to revolutionize radiology workflows and transform productivity, quality and patient care. Augmento currently provides services to more than 350 hospitals and imaging centers throughout India touching nearly 60,000 lives each month. Outside of India, it is implemented in various countries in the APAC region. The Singapore government, as part of its national AI strategy, has been adopting the Augmento platform in key hospitals.
Dr. Amit Kharat, Co-Founder and CEO, deeptek.ai expressed his thoughts by saying: “The US FDA ok is a big shot on our arm. It allows us to bring our offering to the US, which is the largest healthcare market in the world. At DeepTek, our vision is to revolutionize radiology with the power of AI and make it more affordable, accessible and accurate.”
“AI in healthcare is at a very early stage. AI results are still opaque/black box in nature and therefore clinicians do not feel comfortable relying on them. ‘Responsible AI’ addresses these issues and provides techniques that build trust between clinicians and AI results,” said Ashutosh Pathak, CTO of DeepTek.ai.
