Aiforia Introduces Velocity, the Latest Software Release of High-Speed Image Analysis Tools and Features

HELSINKI, Dec. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Aiforia today announced the release of Velocity, the latest software release of tools, features and a new product, built upon the current scalable cloud platform, that allow medical and scientific experts to speed-up and simplify image analysis, produce higher-quality results and unlock new ways of tackling unique, technical tasks.

"Our goal is to continue to shift the image analysis paradigm and address some of today's most complex medical challenges," said Kaisa Helminen, CEO, Aiforia Technologies. "Velocity brings cloud technology and deep learning AI straight to the hands of researchers, pathologists and health care professionals across a variety of specialties to improve the way they tackle tasks, both big and small."

The following Velocity tools and features are available - for research use only - to existing and future customers on the Aiforia Platform:

    --  Annotation Assistant: Aiforia's active learning tool, Annotation
        Assistant, significantly reduces AI model creation time by critically
        reviewing images and searching for areas that can provide good training
        data. By automatically providing training areas and suggested
        annotations to the user, this tool drastically speeds up AI model
        creation.
    --  Image Match: Image Match enables a completely new methodology for image
        analysis by combining tissue registration and overlay with AI model
        analysis and advanced spatial metrics. The technically difficult
        execution of pairing images of serial sections with different staining,
        as well as combining AI models of distinct function, is now fully
        automated. Results from any analysis, such as object identification or
        segmentation, can thus be layered and viewed in parallel or
        superimposed, allowing medical experts to perform spatial measurements
        across multiple samples.
    --  Additional Platform Improvements:
        --  Object Classification, such as detection and quantification of
            immune cells, has traditionally been limited by large training set
            requirements. The Velocity release includes AI and analysis
            engineering solutions that drastically reduce the required size of
            the training set. Together with Annotation Assistant, these new
            improvements push Object Classification to a new level of efficiency
            and ease.
        --  Integrated AI model validation tools give the end user an easy
            interface to define validation sets and to invite colleagues or
            consultants to provide scoring or diagnosis according to intended
            use criteria. The validation tool then provides a human versus AI
            comparison at the pixel level, a necessary requirement for robust AI
            model evaluation.

The company also recently announced its new product for clinical diagnostics in Europe only:

    --  Aiforia Clinical: Aiforia Clinical is an intuitive CE-IVD marked
        platform that helps researchers and healthcare professionals improve and
        advance clinical diagnostics by facilitating faster and more informative
        decision making. Aiforia Clinical can be integrated into any hospital IT
        infrastructure and has been optimized for the clinical pathology
        workflow to improve productivity in visual diagnostic tasks when
        analyzing images from tissue samples.In EU and EEA countries Aiforia®
        Clinical is CE marked under EU's In Vitro Diagnostic Device Regulation
        2017/746 for in vitro diagnostic use. In the USA, Japan, and other
        countries Aiforia® Clinical is for research use only and is not for use
        in diagnostic procedures.

These new and updated tools, features and products included in the Velocity release continue to heighten and advance how researchers and healthcare professionals approach daily image analysis tasks. Book a demo now to see Velocity in action.
