Claritas HealthTech’s CystoSmart™: Revolutionary AI Diagnostic Tool for Bladder Cancer Detection Set to Transform Medical Diagnostics
London and New York, November 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Claritas HealthTech announces a groundbreaking development in medical diagnostics with its subsidiary, Intelligent Scopes Corp (ISC), leading the worldwide delivery and deployment of CystoSmart™. This revolutionary AI diagnostic tool aims to transform the detection of bladder cancer through cutting-edge technology and image enhancement.
Bladder cancer is a prevalent form of cancer, ranking as the 10th most common cancer globally and the sixth most common in men. However, diagnostics using cystoscopes for bladder examination pose numerous challenges and require significant time and resources. CystoSmart™, developed through a research collaboration agreement with Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) Singapore and with support from Singapore’s National Healthcare Group (NHG)’s Centre for Medical Technologies and Innovations (CMTi), presents an innovative solution to address these challenges.
CystoSmart™ utilizes image enhancement and artificial intelligence to achieve real-time precision detection of conditions in endoscopic and cystoscopic images, ensuring accurate identification of bladder cancer. The system is currently under review for clearance by the FDA, marking a significant step toward revolutionizing bladder cancer diagnostics.
Dr. Laszlo Neumann, Chief Technology Officer of Claritas, expresses excitement about the collaboration, stating, We are excited to be working with Singapore’s clinical team in developing CystoSmart™. Our joint objective has been to develop a precision AI tool that can be used as an aid by clinicians to significantly improve patient care.
Dr. Siying Yeow, clinical principal investigator for CystoSmart™ and a consultant urologist at KTPH, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the tool’s potential to enhance the accuracy of bladder cancer detection. Our aim has been to develop an AI diagnostic tool that enhances the accuracy of detection of bladder cancers, says Dr. Yeow. CystoSmart™ will be beneficial in enabling appropriate treatment for newly diagnosed cancers, the accurate recognition of tumor recurrences, and complete tumor resection during surgery.
