MedyMatch aims to offer second opinion in stroke diagnosis

Shepherds – yes, this is a reference to the popular medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" – who work in hospitals around the world may soon get a new assistant. No, not just another intern but an extra pair of virtual eyes to help them better diagnose stroke victims. Tel Aviv-based MedyMatch Technology Ltd., which hopes to have its first commercially available product as soon as the first half of 2017, is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) platform for critical areas of patient care. The platform is meant to help study data more quickly and accurately than the human eye, and help physicians with their clinical decisions in a wide set of healthcare issues. MedyMatch's first area of focus will be for stroke patients.
