In rural India, a van equipped with AI technology by MedCognetics is providing low-cost, high-quality breast cancer screenings for thousands of women. The initiative has screened over 3,500 patients, with 8% receiving abnormal findings and 24 cancer-positive cases identified and connected to treatment. This tech-enabled program aims to improve healthcare access.

MedCognetics produces FDA-cleared AI systems for breast cancer screening, deployable on NVIDIA platforms. Their software includes algorithms for cancer triage, detection, breast density assessment, and risk analysis. With advancements like image denoising, MedCognetics aims to enhance digital mammography and improve radiologists’ ability to detect small tumors.

The Women Cancer Screening Van utilizes rapid AI inference through India-based cloud resources to identify high-risk cases and connect with radiologists for prioritized reporting. By flagging potential tumors, the MedCognetics software helps prioritize patients for immediate attention, enabling quicker diagnosis and treatment. This approach bridges the healthcare accessibility gap in rural areas where preventative healthcare is lacking.
