Cancer, Meet AI
Early Detection, Every Time
Reducing Human Variability in Medicine
Our Vision
We are a team of technologists and physicians who are unified by our common goals
Reduce human variability
Large variability between physicians in a range of clinical disciplines based in visual observation.
Train AI Model to All Cancers
Colon, bladder, lung, blood, bone. Anywhere early detection plays a pivotal role, we will be there.
Reduce the Cost of Care
Increased detection will in most cancers lead to much less aggressive interventions and treatments, leading to happier patients and lower healthcare bill.
How it Works
Machine Learning on Colonoscopies
Our models are trained on thousands of hours of annotated high quality colonoscopy videos. The technology was born out of leading realtime multimedia systems, and has 12 years of research going into it.
Vendor Agnostic Technology
Our AI works like a trained physician - it analyses video in real time. We can connect to any vendor's equipment, be it Olympus, Pentax or FujiFilm to highlight lesions that endoscopists miss.
Real Time Feedback
Augere gives the endoscopist a real time probability of early stage lesions being in the field of view.
Improving Colonoscopy
Individual Endoscopist Performance
On average, more than 20% of polyps are missed in colonoscopies, and the detection rate varies from 3 - 40% in studies.
Making Physicians Even Better
Even physicians have bad days. Losing focus for just a fraction of a second is enough to miss critical polyps. At Augere, we provide a second pair of eyes to catch the easily missed small polyps and flat lesions.
Reducing Variation
Every patient wants the physicians with the most experience. With years of training and 1000s of endoscopies, it takes time for physicians to excel. With Augere's AI we give every patient access to better procedures.
