November 12, 2019 – FDA Grants Breakthrough Status to AI-Based Gastric Cancer Diagnostic
The FDA granted breakthrough device designation to AI Medical Service’s technology for diagnosing gastric cancer, the company said Monday. The technology uses artificial intelligence to analyze endoscopy images for signs of gastric cancer, a hard-to-diagnose disease associated with a high rate of false negatives. AI Medical Service, which raised $42.9 million last month, is working to bring the technology to the U.S. and its home market of Japan.
