Nines banks $16.5M for tele-radiology, AI imaging triage platform

Nines, a tele-radiology and artificial intelligence startup, unveiled its software platform alongside news of a $16.5 million Series A raise. The funding was led by Accel and 8VC, with individual participants also taking part. The two-year-old startup's efforts are broken into two camps. On the one hand is a tele-radiology service that's staffed by live specialists, and according to the company is bolstered by partnerships with institutions such as the Mount Sinai Health System. Its other work involves the startup's investigational machine learning platform intended to support imaging data analysis.
