iCAD partners with RAD-AID to advance breast cancer detection

iCAD announced a philanthropic global health collaboration with RAD-AID International. RAD-AID, a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to improving radiology healthcare in medically underserved regions, is collaborating with iCAD to introduce mammography AI-based decision support in LMICs, starting with an implementation in Guyana using iCAD’s ProFound Detection. The partnership’s primary goal is to improve the speed, efficiency and accuracy of breast imaging and breast cancer detection by providing low-resource medical institutions with access to technology, education, clinical support, and hands-on training. iCAD and RAD-AID aim to begin in Guyana where implementation of iCAD’s ProFound AI Detection Solution, coupled with RAD-AID’s educational and capacity-building initiatives, aims to increase, and improve breast cancer detection for patients in need. Such collaboration endeavors to build AI-supported models for globally reducing health care disparities and increasing health equity by widening access to earlier cancer diagnostics.
