FDA clearance gives wings to Indian AI tool for fast diagnosis

Mumbai-based startup Qure uses an AI imaging tool qER to save precious minutes for emergency room staff to take action based on head CT scans. After deployment in India and several other countries, qER is now entering the US where 75 million CT scans are performed every year. A couple of weeks ago, Qure received US FDA 510 (k) clearance for this product. What makes it special is a four-in-one clearance. The tool has been cleared for triaging four critical conditions--intracranial bleeds, mass effect (due to spaces in the brain filling up), midline shift (in the brain's alignment), and cranial fractures.
