What is NIRAMAI-Thermalytix breast screening?
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women today. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in every 12 women have the risk of a breast abnormality. Early diagnosis is very critical to decrease mortality rates.
We, at NIRAMAI, have developed a novel software-based medical device to detect breast cancer at a much earlier stage than traditional methods or self-examination. Our solution is a low cost, accurate, automated, portable cancer screening tool that can be operated in any clinic. Our imaging method is radiation free, non-touch, not painful and works for women of all ages. The core technology of our solution has been developed using our patented machine learning algorithms for reliable and accurate detection of breast cancer. This unique solution can be used as a cancer diagnosis test in hospitals, for regular preventive health checkups, and also for large scale screening in rural and semi-urban areas.
The core of NIRAMAI solution is Thermalytix, a computer aided diagnostic engine that is powered by Artificial Intelligence. The solution uses a high resolution thermal sensing device and a cloud hosted analytics solution for analysing the thermal images. Our SaaS solution has been developed using big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning for reliable, early and accurate breast cancer screening.
The innovative methods used in our solution have led to 10 Granted US patents.
