Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world, but with a shortage of dermatologists, patients often wait too long to get skin checks that could end up costing them their lives.
Avicenna.ai SAS received U.S. FDA clearance for its Cina-Cspine algorithm, which uses machine learning technology to detect and triage cervical spine fractures from computed tomography images. The tool automatically flags imaging findings that are compatible with acute cervical spine fractures, which can cause serious neurological damage or paralysis.

Qure.ai Technologies Private Ltd.’s Qxr artificial intelligence-powered chest X-ray interpretation system identified high-risk pulmonary nodules an average of 32 months before physicians diagnosed lung cancer, a study presented September 8 at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer in San Diego found.
Grail Inc.’s multi-cancer early detection test, Galleri, preferentially screens for aggressive prostate cancer, addressing concerns about overdiagnosis and subsequent overtreatment of indolent cancers, a study published in JCO Precision Oncology demonstrated.
Eisai Co. Ltd. and Oita University in Oita Prefecture, Japan, developed a first-of-its-kind machine learning model to predict amyloid beta accumulation in the brain using a wristband sensor. The model, which collects biological and lifestyle data from daily life, is expected to enable screening for brain amyloid beta accumulation to identify those at risk for Alzheimer's disease, particularly because amyloid beta begins to accumulate in the brain about 20 years before the onset of the disease.
Veracyte Inc. revealed plans to buy C2i Genomics Inc. at the J.P. Morgan Health Care Conference in San Francisco on Jan. 8, a move that will significantly expand its portfolio of cancer diagnostic and monitoring assays. The terms include $70 million in Veracyte shares to be paid at closing plus an addition $25 million payable in cash or Veracyte shares over the next two years if C2i achieves certain performance milestones.

Branelie Health Inc. seeks patent protection for a computer-implemented method and system for predicting appropriateness of treatment options for the management of traumatic brain injuries, particularly concussions.
The U.S. FDA cleared respiratory imaging technology company 4dmedical Ltd.’s computed tomography lung ventilation analysis software (CT LVAS) that is nearly identical to its X-ray velocimetry technology but uses CT imaging and provides greater access to the four-dimensional imaging technology.
