Teleradiology services provider USARad.com is partnering with big data visualization software developer Zebra Medical Vision to identify people at increased risk of osteoporotic bone fractures.
Zebra will provide automated imaging analytics tools and decision-support algorithms. The new algorithm will allow USARad.com and SecondOpinions.com to analyze pre-existing or new CT studies and provide a risk score for osteoporosis-related fractures. USARad.com will then be able to alert a patient's physicians, who can decide on the right course of treatment to help reduce or avoid fractures, said Elad Benjamin, Zebra Medical's CEO.
