Service or technology in this application

The ArteraAI Prostate Biopsy Assay is a software device based on artificial intelligence that assesses clinical information about a patient with localised prostate cancer in combination with digital images from the patients’ prostate biopsy. The AI then predicts whether a patient with intermediate risk localised prostate cancer who is planned to undergo curative-intent radiotherapy would benefit from hormone therapy in the short-term and their longer term prognosis.

Type: Investigative technology
