CHICAGO, IL – November 20, 2024 – HOPPR, developer of the first medical-grade foundation model for medical imaging, and Viz.ai, a global leader in AI-powered care coordination, today announced a five-year development partnership aimed at advancing AI in healthcare. This strategic collaboration will integrate HOPPR’s medical-grade foundation model with Viz.ai’s workflow tools to deliver groundbreaking solutions, beginning with the detection of pulmonary fibrosis in chest x-rays and screening lung CT imaging studies for lung nodules.
“We are excited to collaborate with Viz.ai to enhance the way clinicians interact with medical imaging data,” said Khan Siddiqui, MD, Chief Executive Officer at HOPPR. “By combining our medical-grade AI foundation model with Viz.ai’s proven workflow tools, we believe we can deliver transformative improvements in clinical care, operational efficiency, and quality.”
Viz.ai’s intelligent care coordination platform, renowned for revolutionizing workflow in areas such as neurovascular and cardiac care, will integrate seamlessly with HOPPR’s infrastructure. This partnership will initially focus on pulmonology, aiming to streamline care and unlock significant diagnostic and operational value from medical imaging data, enabling earlier diagnosis and better patient outcomes.
HOPPR’s medical-grade generalized foundation model provides a versatile, pre-trained architecture that supports the development of customized, task-specific models. Viz.ai’s robust clinical workflow solutions, already in use across 1,700 hospitals, will allow the joint development of highly tailored, scalable solutions that enhance diagnostic capabilities and streamline clinical workflows across multiple areas of care.
“Our mission at Viz.ai is to empower clinicians with tools that reduce manual workloads and improve patient outcomes. Partnering with HOPPR allows us to leverage advanced AI to bring these benefits to more specialties and patient populations,” said Jack Manley, head of New Markets & Growth at Viz.ai.
The collaboration represents a step forward in unlocking AI’s full potential in healthcare, offering scalable solutions that can be deployed in real-world settings, improving care delivery and outcomes at a global scale.
