In the world of medicine, very often to hospitals and medical care facilities find themselves unable to treat and prevent diseases because of short-staffed operations. Radiologists can be swamped with work because of the sheer volume of scans they need to review as well as people they need to meet with. Aengus Tran saw this problem arise when he was visiting his home in Vietnam while studying for his degree at the University of New South Whales in Sydney, Australia. The problem of healthcare in the modern world isn’t recognizing and treating diseases, it’s finding a doctor who has enough time on their hands to do both.
Thats why after finishing his degree and postgrad, Dr Tren and his brother Dimitri began developing a way to expand medical diagnosis up to modern needs.
Using A.I. technology and knowledge of medical science, the two developed programs that scan and identify points of interest in chest and CT results. This allows radiologists and other physicians to essentially have a fully functional assistant that finds the most important scans on the most critical patients, placing their cases on the top of the physician’s bucket list so they can manage the crushing workload just a little faster and easier.
What they created, they called Hundson.ai, a machine that is capable identifying, inspecting, highlighting, and learning diseases. Dr. Tren went to school to become a cardiologist but has now found himself running a company as an entrepreneur with his brother and cofounder Dimitri. With eyes looking to the future, they look to expand on the ways their A.I. can assist medical professionals in their work in the most trustworthy and effective way possible. Their expandable and multimodal model is now helping people around the world, and they aim to even transform the way the healthcare system spots and diagnoses disease.
Developing new systems and partnering with healthcare companies and officials (such as Sonic Healthcare), Aengus and Dimitri Tren provide their service to over a million clinicians around the world. To check out their website, click here and read more about it for yourself.
