InHealth is set to deploy Qure.aiā€™s artificial intelligence solution to help with the classification of chest x-rays into normal and abnormal exams, enhancing the quality and accuracy of reporting to improve patient outcomes.

The AI solution will be deployed across InHealthā€™s entire telereporting service arm. The technology can help radiologists to interpret radiological scans in healthcare settings, with a high degree of accuracy.

Qure.aiā€™s qXR is an EU MDR CE Class IIb certified chest x-ray solution. It will be used to identify which cases are clear of clinically relevant findings, supporting radiologists to read x-rays more accurately and quickly.

The solution will be used by InHealth to support clients in tackling a backlog of chest x-rays while also improving efficiency and quality of reads. In addition, it will allow InHealth to prioritise more clinically urgent cases.

Jonny McDaniell, director of operations ā€“ reporting at InHealth, said: ā€œWe are excited to be partnering with Qure.ai to deploy qXR AI software into our tele-radiology platform to assist physicians in highlighting life-threatening abnormalities and improve reporting time for critical cases.ā€

The qXR software is capable of detecting multiple lung abnormalities in under one minute from a chest x-ray. It can accurately assess radiological findings that could indicate a number of lung diseases, including lung cancer, pneumonia, COPD, TB and heart failure.

Darren Stephens, senior vice president & commercial head UK and Europe of Qure.ai, added, ā€œOur partnership with InHealth is a validation to our dominance in the UK radiology AI market. By combining our expertise in medical imaging with InHealth’s commitment to delivering high-quality diagnostic services, we can make a significant impact on patient outcomes. Together, we can advance the frontiers of healthcare and improve the lives of people across the UK.ā€

InHealth announced in February this year that it had created 20 new jobs in the Yorkshire region after a number of contract wins, including the contract to scale up Scotlandā€™s remote monitoring pathways.
