Value Proposition

DETECT-ARDS is a new approach for identifying ARDS findings on chest x-rays. With ARDS often missed or under-diagnosed, DETECT_ARDS has the potential to transform patient outcomes for the better. By training powerful algorithms called deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), our system can identify findings consistent with ARDS with high accuracy.
