Annalise.ai Lung Cancer Detection Tool
Benefits
The AI technology acts like a second pair of eyes for clinicians, with the ability to prioritise cases where the X-ray has found something suspicious which may indicate possible lung cancer. It has been shown to improve diagnostic accuracy by 45% and increase diagnostic efficiency by 12%. This helps catch lung cancer quicker, potentially saving lives as six in 10 people survive more than five years if lung cancer is diagnosed at earlier stages, compared to just one in 10 for those diagnosed at the latest stage.
