3 Analytics Startups Transforming Healthcare

A technician took X-rays of Gura's chest but couldn't make heads or tails of the resulting images. "We had to wait a few days for the radiologist to come from the big city to diagnose what I had," delaying his treatment, Gura says. "I asked: How come we don't have a centralized reference database of all the X-rays for people like me so that I can just run a computer vision comparison against it and get my own sense of what's going on in my body? That was the seed of the idea." The idea became Zebra Medical Vision, which transforms vast amounts of medical imaging data into actionable insights, allowing doctors to better detect diseases, tumors and fractures while giving patients more information about their health.
