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
Save lives and improve life quality
Cancer takes thousands of lives and reduces quality of life for many survivors. Our technology can reduce the burden for patients, doctors and society
Additional pair of eyes on every procedure
Our system can absorb experience from more examinations than any physician can throughout a career. Thus, we can help all physicians up to a supreme quality level
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
Better colorectal cancer detection with intelligent video
With video analytics and artificial intelligence, we improve survival rates of colorectal cancer, one of the most common and deadly cancer forms with 2 million annual cases
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.
Compatible with All Equipment
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.
