Computer Vision for Healthcare & Diagnostics
We develop computer vision systems for healthcare — from medical image analysis that assists radiologists in detecting pathologies to patient monitoring systems that track vital signs and movement patterns. Our healthcare CV solutions are designed with clinical validation, FDA guidance compliance, and seamless integration with existing PACS and EHR systems.
Industry Context
Radiologists read 50-100 studies per day, each containing dozens of images. Diagnostic errors affect 12 million Americans annually. Computer vision doesn't replace physicians — it serves as a 'second pair of eyes' that catches subtle findings, reduces reading time, and improves consistency. The medical imaging AI market is projected to reach $20B by 2030.
Key Challenges
Clinical Validation
Medical CV models require extensive validation: sensitivity, specificity, and comparison with gold-standard diagnoses. Models must perform consistently across patient demographics and imaging equipment.
FDA/CE Regulatory Path
Medical AI that influences clinical decisions may require FDA clearance (510(k) or De Novo) or CE marking. The development process must follow Quality Management System (QMS) requirements from the start.
DICOM Integration
Medical images use DICOM format with complex metadata. The CV system must integrate with PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) and handle multi-modality imaging data.
Explainability
Physicians need to understand why the AI flagged an area. Black-box predictions are unacceptable in clinical settings — the system must provide heatmaps, attention maps, and confidence scores.
How We Solve It
Our approach to computer vision for healthcare
AI-Assisted Diagnostic Screening
Computer vision models trained on large medical image datasets to detect pathologies: lung nodules on CT, diabetic retinopathy on fundus images, fractures on X-rays. Results presented as findings with confidence scores and highlighted regions.
PACS Integration Module
Seamless integration with existing PACS systems (Philips, GE, Siemens). AI analysis runs automatically when new studies arrive, with results appearing alongside original images in the radiologist's workflow.
Clinical Decision Support
AI generates structured reports with findings, measurements, and comparison with prior studies. Physicians review AI suggestions and make final clinical decisions — the AI augments, never replaces.
Quality Assurance System
Automated QA checks on incoming images: detect artifacts, assess image quality, and flag studies that may need re-acquisition before physician review.
Computer Vision for Healthcare Use Cases
Real-world applications we build
Radiology AI Assistant
AI pre-reads CT, MRI, and X-ray studies, highlighting potential findings for radiologist review. Reduces reading time by 30% and improves detection of subtle pathologies.
Pathology Image Analysis
Whole slide image analysis for histopathology: cell counting, tissue classification, and biomarker quantification for cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.
Dermatology Screening
Skin lesion classification from smartphone photos: melanoma risk assessment, lesion tracking over time, and triage recommendations for dermatology referrals.
Patient Monitoring
Video-based patient monitoring in ICU and elder care: fall detection, movement pattern analysis, and early warning alerts for clinical deterioration.
Surgical Planning
3D reconstruction from CT/MRI scans for surgical planning. AI segments organs, tumors, and vessels to create patient-specific anatomical models.
Wound Assessment
Computer vision measures wound dimensions, tracks healing progress, and classifies wound stage from photographs — reducing subjective assessment variability.
Compliance & Security
Industry-specific compliance built into every solution
