About Diagnostics.ai

Our Vision and Mission
Since our inception in 2009, Diagnostics.ai (formerly known as Azure PCR) has been at the forefront of revolutionizing diagnostic testing. Our mission is to address critical patient safety issues arising from known challenges in diagnostic testing. Leveraging the power of data science, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning, we are dedicated to enhancing diagnostic accuracy, reducing costs, and improving global patient safety.

Innovative Approach
We recognize that many diagnostic tests are labour-intensive and prone to human error. Our focus is on transforming this landscape by automating these processes, particularly in infection detection, where accuracy is paramount. Our flagship product, pcr.ai, is a testament to this commitment, automating the widely-used qPCR method for infection testing, thus significantly reducing error rates and improving reliability.

Impact of AI in Diagnostics
The integration of AI into diagnostics marks a paradigm shift. By minimizing human error, we not only streamline laboratory operations but also provide medical professionals with more precise patient treatment plans. This advancement translates to enhanced patient safety and a reduction in preventable deaths. Moreover, our technology facilitates real-time data acquisition and AI-based standardization, empowering governments and NGOs in resource management and infection control, while also addressing global staff-shortage issues.

Our Technology
The core of our innovation lies in our internationally patented AI-based learning machines. These algorithms replicate the decision-making process of expert clinical technicians, thereby automating routine analyses and eliminating manual steps in patient testing. Our technology, showcased in pcr.ai, boasts an interpretation accuracy exceeding 99.9%, as validated in multiple independent studies involving over 0.25 million samples.

Our Products
Pcr.ai stands as a prime example of our commitment to accuracy and efficiency in diagnostics. It has been recognized as a 'highly accurate time-saving tool' in clinical validations and reviewed in several independent studies covering a broad range of pathogens and samples. The versatility of pcr.ai lies in its compatibility with any test or platform, eliminating the need for reprogramming for each new test.
