As we reflect on the past year, I am filled with appreciation for your trust and collaboration that have propelled our mission further at Qure. We are united in our commitment to use artificial intelligence to make healthcare accessible, equitable, and timely, aiming to transform a billion lives.
To date, we have achieved a pivotal milestone by positively impacting over 20 million lives through our advanced AI-driven screening solutions in X-rays and CTs across nearly 2,700 healthcare facilities in over 90 countries. Each number represents a personal story of hope and health, enhanced by our collective efforts.
Over the past year, we helped screen over 1 million patients for Tuberculosis in 24 African countries, deploying our technology in some of the most remote areas without internet or electricity. Internationally, our solutions have assisted physicians in alerting more than 270,000 individuals to early signs of Tuberculosis. This global effort not only highlighted our technology’s reach but also our deep-rooted commitment to making a difference where it’s needed most.
This year also marked several groundbreaking achievements that further established our leadership in AI healthcare. We published pioneering research on incidentally detecting heart failure through ChestX-Ray AI, a significant step forward in cardiac care. Our work in lung cancer was also recognized in the prestigious journal Nature as one of the year’s most critical medical studies. Additionally, we received three more FDA approvals, enabling broader clinical use of our solutions in the U.S.
Our solution’s potential was showcased in discussions with global leaders like Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and internationally known philanthropist Bill Gates. We also hosted our first user group meeting focused on AI’s role in combating Tuberculosis, enhancing global collaboration against this disease.
Our partnerships with the NHS and AstraZeneca have been instrumental, impacting a million and two million lives respectively through AI-driven early detection in diverse health scenarios. Moreover, our technology alerted 100,000+ neurocritical patients to signs of stroke, potentially saving lives by enabling timely intervention and reducing emergency response time by approximately 6 hours per patient undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.
As we step into another year filled with new challenges and opportunities, I carry a profound sense of responsibility and a renewed commitment to our mission. Your continued support has been the backbone of our innovation and impact.
Thank you for being an integral part of our transformative journey. Together, we are not just imagining a healthier future; we are actively shaping it, one life at a time.
