About The Customer
The primary customers of CureMetrix are radiologists who are dealing with a massive backlog of X-rays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These professionals need a solution that can help them sift through the backlog efficiently and accurately. They require a system that can improve their clinical decision-making process and enhance the detection and classification of anomalies in mammography. The customers also include hospitals and clinics that are looking for ways to improve their financial outcomes. The solution provided by CureMetrix is also beneficial for patients, who receive better care as a result of improved accuracy in their radiologists' work.
The Challenge
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a massive backlog of X-rays for radiologists to sift through, due to the closure of non-essential businesses and people staying at home. The traditional detection system for radiologists relied heavily on their own eyes, which could lead to human error. This situation posed a significant challenge in terms of time efficiency and accuracy in the detection and classification of anomalies in mammography. The need for a solution that could help radiologists improve the accuracy of their work, support better clinical decision-making, and improve financial outcomes for hospitals and clinics was evident.
The Solution
CureMetrix, a technology company, has developed robust AI-powered solutions to address this challenge. The company's mission is to help radiologists improve the accuracy and detection in the classification of anomalies in mammography. Their solution works by flagging standout images from a backlog, indicating that a team should review them. The patient's X-rays are taken, and CureMetrix is CC'd on those images. The data is then anonymized, encrypted, and processed in the cloud, using AI against the images. The results are sent back via the same route, either confirming the radiologist's conclusions or indicating something they might have missed. This AI/machine-learning-driven platform is one of the first of its kind, significantly reducing human error in the process.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
