LungAI™ is an AI-enabled early Lung Cancer detection solution developed for accurate identification of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) from the FISH-based confirmatory diagnostic test LungLB™. Accurate identification of CTCs from a large volume of cells is an extremely tedious and time-consuming task for lab technicians. The talk will cover how Persistent’s AI-driven algorithms have reduced analysis time by almost 70%, accelerating LungLife AI’s efforts to greatly reduce the impact of a disease that claims around 400 lives per day.
