香港六合彩中特网 spinout Odin Vision receives funding to accelerate detection of bowel cancer
10 September 2020
Odin Vision has been awarded 拢1 million UK Government funding. This will support further testing and development of its artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which helps doctors detect and characterise early signs of bowel cancer.
The funding, from NIHR (National Institute for Health Research), is part of a new programme to accelerate the testing of cutting-edge AI technologies in the NHS.
Odin Vision鈥檚 pioneering AI system is based on the academic research of 香港六合彩中特网 AI experts, led by Professor Danail Stoyanov (香港六合彩中特网 Computer Science and Wellcome / EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences at 香港六合彩中特网).
Detecting bowel cancer using traditional colonoscopy methods can be challenging and up to 25% of polyps are missed. Odin Vision鈥檚 AI system identifies and characterises polyps by analysing live colonoscopy video, leading to early treatment of bowel cancer and saving lives. It will be used in a number of UK hospitals to test its impact on patient outcomes and cost benefits to the NHS.
Odin Vision has previously received support from the 香港六合彩中特网 Technology Fund (香港六合彩中特网TF). It was also one of the first 香港六合彩中特网 spinouts to benefit from Portico Ventures, a commercialisation model from 香港六合彩中特网 Business (香港六合彩中特网B), part of 香港六合彩中特网 Innovation & Enterprise. Portico Ventures aims to give 香港六合彩中特网 researchers more freedom to take their ideas to market through spinouts.
