Telerad Group has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) to strengthen efforts in the prompt detection and interpretation of stroke and head injuries.
As part of the MoU, Telerad Group’s Telerad Tech and Telerad Foundation, along with NIMHANS will jointly undertake research and development in the area of implementing stroke protocol and detecting and interpreting head injury and other trauma needing immediate medical interventions, with AI-enhanced radiology diagnostics which have been Made In India.
As part of the agreement, Telerad Tech will deploy NeuralAssist – a proprietary deep-learning based software device that uses the power of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to analyse head CT scans. The stand-alone cloud-based software system consists of an on premise module and a cloud module. NeuralAssist is integrated into RADSpa, a next generation AI-enabled radiology workflow platform with in-built Radiology Information System-picture archiving information system (RIS-PACS), which is scalable and designed to meet the requirements of teleradiology. Both NeuralAssist and RadSpa are proudly Made in India.
Dr Arjun Kalyanpur, Founder-CEO, and Chief Radiologist, Teleradiology Solutions said, “Our collaboration with NIMHANS represents a significant stride in the field of stroke care in particular and in medical science. By integrating Telerad Tech’s Neural Assist AI into clinical imaging, we aim not only to enhance diagnostics for stroke and head injuries but also to pave the way for future AI-driven protocols in healthcare institutions. The insights we gain have the potential to shape healthcare guidelines and influence policy decisions, ultimately benefiting the public.”
Kishor Joshi, Chief Business Officer, Telerad Group emphasised, “We are proud to be associated with NIMHANS in a one-of-its-kind association that is pivotal to our efforts to improve efficiency and productivity of public and private healthcare institutions. Our AI-based solutions will enable NIMHANS to conduct vital tests, paving the way for the practical integration of an AI-powered stroke program to expedite and improve stroke diagnosis, ensuring swift medical interventions to save lives.”
Dr Pratima Murthy, Director, NIMHANS said, “NIMHANS, as an institution, is continuously strengthening its capacity to meet the increasing demand for diagnosing stroke and head injuries. We are pleased to announce the implementation of Telerad Group’s cutting-edge technology in this endeavor and are committed to collaborating on further research and development to enhance the capabilities of this product.”
