Israeli medtech startup Ibex Medical Analytics uses artificial intelligence (AI) in cancer diagnosis. The company just raised $38 million in a Series B financing round led by Octopus Ventures and 83North. The company has now raised $52 million to date.
Startup Nation has a number of companies which are developing new cancer treatments. Israel’s OncoHost is developing a new ways to test the blood of cancer patients in order to determine which treatments will be the most effective. Novellus is an Israeli clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on precision oncology (treatment for cancer).
But Ibex Analytics offers a new way to diagnose cancer. Early diagnosis is vital for there to be successful treatment of any kind of cancer. Even with all of the breakthroughs in cancer treatments over the years there will always be a tipping point after which a treatment either won’t work, or the cancer has spread and possibly done irreparable damage to vital organs.
This is why what Ibex Analytics does is so important. The use of AI helps offset the lack of capable pathologists and overwhelming caseloads. AI will someday be able to do the diagnostic work in a fraction of the time. And remember, AI does not get tired or sick.
