A COMPUTATIONAL PATHOLOGY COMPANY

USING AI TO HELP PATHOLOGISTS IN THEIR DAILY ROUTINE

ABOUT US

IDENTIFY.BIO HAS BUILT ITS FIRST AI ALGORITHM

"The Pap Smer Pre Screening Tool"

shape.png
Screenshot 2023-10-06 at 10.53.48 AM (1).png

Used to pre-screen Liquid Based Cytology Pap smear specimens before diagnosis by the pathologist / cytotechnician as the case may be. The algorithm will flag cases suspicious for abnormalities such that the pathologist / cytotechnician would only need to examine 20% of the smears that were originally received at the lab The rest of the slides require no further review.

The algorithm would flag cases suspicious of containing squamous cell carcinoma or its pre-cursor lesions, adenocarcinoma and organisms like candida and bacterial vaginosis. These regions would be identified and the user would only have to look at these areas of abnormality and not the entire slide.

IN USA

50 Millon

Smears administrated annually

IN INDIA

1 Millon

Smears administrated annually

This large volume has made it burdensome for labs.

The Pap smear is the primary diagnostic test used to detect cervical cancer early in women. The volume has become so large that it is now becoming burdensome on labs to diagnose these smears in a timely manner, without impacting other parts of operations.
