Ibex Medical Analytics partners with French laboratory network Medipath
The AI-based cancer diagnostics company will be deployed on Medipath, which offers services to 170 hospitals across France
France, along with the rest of the world, has seen a rising prevalence of cancer in recent years. The rise coincides with a decline in pathologists and resulting in increased workloads. As rising demand meets a decreased supply, humans are making more errors and results are getting delayed as backlogs continue to rise - as countries like the UK have already seen.
Medical imaging in operation. Photo Ibex Medical Analytics Ibex’s solution is expected to assist pathologists in Medipath meet this rising demand in cases. It has completed deployment of Ibex’s Galen Prostate - the CE-marked solution analyzes prostate biopsies and alerts the pathologist when there is a discrepancy between a result and the pathologist’s original diagnosis - saving time in the process.
“Medipath’s implementation of Galen Prostate represents a significant step in our global expansion and extends the scope of cooperation between our companies to routine cancer diagnosis - the core of Medipath’s clinical practice,” said Joseph Mossel, CEO and Co-Founder of Ibex.
