Technology
Dr. Geetha Manjunath, an Indian Institute of Science gold medalist and AI expert, turned her personal loss, losing two cousins to breast cancer, into a mission.
She co-founded NIRAMAI Health Analytix in 2016 to make early and more accessible screening possible for more women.
Thermalytix AI screens 400,000+ women
NIRAMAI uses Thermalytix, a technology that combines AI with thermal imaging to spot cancer-related heat patterns; no radiation or compression are needed.
It is portable and can be taken to locations with limited medical facilities.
So far, they have screened more than 400,000 women across India and detected more than 2,000 cases of cancer.
