I really admire how quickly and efficiently AI is taking over what’s most important - our health. The way I see it Profound hits an important spot in patient care, providing easy access to a “second opinion” online. It’s currently not supporting MRIs scans but still worth to try if you have CT scans available.

One of my favorite companies. I truly believe that this new tool is one of the first milestones in the Machine learning revolution. Keep the hard work guys!
Exciting vertical application of ML - seems to be the way forward for now. Also a good way to crowdsource data with a good potential for reinforcement of the algo through a patient feedback loop.
Very cool! Products like this will eventually break down the economic and geographic barriers to accessing quality healthcare. With Profound, patients anywhere can immediately know what is wrong with them at no cost. Now that is a vision I think we can all get excited about.
@starkupnation Excited for this revolution too! Thank you for your support!

Intrigued by this, do you have an example of how the analysis is presented to the patient? Does it take into account the reason behind performing a scan, e.g. Progression/regression of a cyst, interval abdominal pain etc?
Could it be adapted as a tool for clinicians, sort of like ecg machines that present preliminary findings but the clinician will still perform his/her own analysis of the ecg
Hey Jesper! @hsus Our algorithms run regardless of the reason for scan. They are intended to find incidental findings often missed in routine exams and alert users so that they go and consult their physicians about their findings. Our company offers solutions for radiologists and hospitals as well. If you are interested in learning more about these solutions, feel free to email me elad@zebra-med.com

@eladbenjamin seems reasonable! Would still love to see a screenshot of what information is presented to the patient and how 😉 congrats on the launch!
@hsus Sure- feel free to send an email to our PM, Tom, at tomg@zebra-med.com she can provide some example!

@eladbenjamin what sort of ministry of health [Israeli or abroad] did you get/still need to get for this to get a regulatory stamp of approval? What is your company's liability for misdiagnosis? What happens if I upload a scan and your product discovers something that the original scan practitioner didn't find --can Zebra be soubpeaonad as an expert medical witness/authority? Realise these are tough questions, but this is health, after all..
@amirmizroch Hi Amir, these are all important questions. All our algorithms have gone through extensive validation both internally and at various clinical institutions before being released. That being said, they can still be wrong, which is why right now we encourage anyone who has received a result from us - positive or negative - and who thinks they have a health issue, to consult with their physician. We do not replace expert medical care and any patients care is ultimately determined by their physician, not Zebra. Hope that helps!
