Qure.ai has created a niche for itself with advanced technology that reads and interprets medical images such as X-rays, CTs and ultrasounds in less than a minute, making equitable and high-quality healthcare a reality across the globe. Qure’s AI solutions are FDA-approved, CE-certified and evaluated by the World Health Organization.
Qure.ai’s automated medical imaging tools can shorten the time to diagnosis while enabling physicians to triage medical cases more effectively, especially in time-sensitive situations. This helps healthcare providers to identify critical scenarios within minutes – versus hours – to avert fatalities and improve the quality of patient care. In other settings, where adequate, skilled specialists may not be available, Qure’s technology is used as the first level of screening for many infections and noncommunicable conditions.
