Scopio: AI-powered digital blood diagnosis

Although crucial medical diagnostic information is held in our cells, frontline hematology lab tests have not changed in 50 years and are still conducted using a manual microscope, giving only a partial picture of what may be present in our blood. OurCrowd is reinvesting in اسکوپیو, an Israeli company that has developed the world’s first digital cell morphology imaging and AI platform that can scan a full-field image of thousands of cells at 100X resolution, breaking a historical trade-off between resolution and field of view. The company’s ARR has grown 3X in the last 12 months and is forecasting significant growth YOY by the end of 2022. Scopio’s breakthrough technology replaces the tedious and highly manual microscopy review with an end-to-end automated digital solution using high-resolution computational photography imaging and AI-based clinical grade cell morphology analysis. The company’s pioneering full-field digital cell morphology provides faster, earlier, and more accurate detection and diagnosis of numerous medical conditions including cancer, anemia, infections, coagulation, and allergies. The company currently has clinical installations in several hospitals in the US and Israel and is poised for rapid growth with new products and additional FDA clearances. Scopio’s product for veterinary use already has more than 120 customers and the company has signed a major distribution deal in the UK and other European countries for its veterinary solution. Scopio’s complete blood morphology software will break the barriers of human capabilities by harnessing the power of AI to automatically analyze millions of blood cells, automating the most tedious part of the hematology workflow to unlock the true potential of blood cell morphology, and revolutionize diagnostic testing.
