Nanox.AI Connects to Nuance Precision Imaging Network to Improve Early Detection of Chronic Diseases with Workflow-Integrated AI
The secure nationwide AI-powered cloud platform streamlines care team communication and delivers patient-specific imaging insights within clinical workflows
NEVE ILAN, Israel, February 14, 2023 – NANO-X IMAGING LTD ("Nanox" or the "Company," Nasdaq: NNOX), an innovative medical imaging technology company today announced that its deep-learning medical imaging analytics subsidiary, Nanox.AI, has connected to the Nuance Precision Imaging Network™. This secure nationwide cloud platform empowers collaborative care teams with streamlined communications and AI insights from diagnostic imaging within existing workflows to improve healthcare outcomes and costs.
Nanox.AI solutions are developed to target highly prevalent chronic and acute diseases affecting large populations around the world. Leveraging AI, Nanox.AI helps clinicians extract valuable and actionable clinical insights from medical imaging that otherwise may go unnoticed. These “hidden” or incidental findings can potentially initiate further medical assessment to establish individual preventative care pathways for patients. Nanox.AI’s portfolio includes FDA-cleared imaging solutions in bone health, HealthOST, and cardiovascular health, HealthCCSng, that use routine medical CT imaging to help physicians identify the early signs of diseases like osteoporosis and coronary artery disease, enabling further work up and possible treatment to help prevent potentially life-changing major events.
“In a time where chronic illness continues to rise in pace with physician workloads, solutions for seamlessly improving provider workflows and improving patient outcomes are needed now more than ever,” said Erez Meltzer, Chief Executive Officer of Nanox. “Our team is excited to collaborate with Nuance and take a major step forward in increasing access to our groundbreaking AI solutions while moving towards our goal in turning predictive into preventive medicine, and super powering the clinical data we are generating from our patient care efforts.”
Powered by Microsoft Azure, the Nuance Precision Imaging Network provides access to an entire ecosystem of AI-powered tools and insights within clinical workflows to more than 12,000 healthcare facilities and the 80% of U.S. radiologists who use Nuance's PowerScribe radiology reporting and PowerShare image sharing solutions. Nuance is a Microsoft company.
“The collaboration between Nanox.AI and Nuance offers a comprehensive solution that supports clinicians in the U.S. in the evaluation and detection of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis through medical screening,” said Roland Dias, Vice President of Nuance’s Precision Imaging Network. “We are proud to work with an organization like Nanox.AI. that is similarly committed to bringing value to healthcare organizations and advancing population health.”
