The signing ceremony was witnessed by Australian Senator, Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell and Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Andrew Goledzinowski, in the context of the two countries celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Accordingly, in addition to research activities, Annalise.ai will deploy at Hoan My Saigon Hospital software solutions in the form of medical devices (SaMD) for businesses through two AI tools to support clinical available in chest X-ray and brain CT. These solutions enable clinicians to more accurately identify abnormalities that radiologists might miss, facilitate earlier detection and treatment of disease, and shorten clinical decision-making time.
Dr. Dilshaad Ali Bin Abas Ali, General Director of Hoan My Medical Group, believes that machine learning and big data are the keys to achieving the best clinical results. “These technologies will help our doctors make better, more accurate decisions and provide them with a base of insights built on patient data from around the world, ” he said.
Annalise.ai is a partnership between healthcare technology company Harrison.ai, co-founded by brothers Dimitry Tran and Aengus Tran, with the I–MED Radiology Network.
According to Annalise.ai, the company's solutions are being used in more than 350 private and public hospitals as well as community clinics in the UK and Australia. In Australia alone, 1 in 4 radiologists are accessing Annalise.ai's AI solutions.
Recently, they donated an AI-based chest X-ray machine to Thanh An island, 70 km east of Ho Chi Minh City, where about 5,000 people live. To cure diseases, it takes people here about 1-2 hours to move inland by boat. Together with partners ASIF and FujiFilm, the Tran brothers presented a portable X-ray machine equipped with Annalise CXR Edge technology.
This is one of the AI solutions that provide results right on the X-ray device, making it easier for medical staffs on the island to read the results and can speed up treatment in the community.
Annalise.ai has its head office in Australia and branches in the Netherlands, UK, USA, Vietnam and India. In Vietnam, in December 2022, the company signed a 3-party cooperation agreement on the application of AI technology in medical imaging with Viettel Solutions and Hong Ngoc General Hospital.
