AI Can Find Signs of Disease in MRI Scans That Doctors Might Miss

British health tech startup, Twinn Health, has unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that can analyze MRI scans for early disease detection. Backed by a $500 million venture capital fund from Saudi Aramco, the company is making significant strides in longevity and preventive healthcare.

Twinn Health's AI platform extracts additional insights from MRI scans that may not have been the primary focus of the physician. The company's primary focus is on metabolic disease—a trifecta of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity—since these conditions increase patients' susceptibility to severe health issues such as coronary heart disease and stroke.

Twinn's AI platform scans MRI images for potentially harmful hidden fatty deposits around organs, a crucial heart disease indicator even among healthy individuals. Early trials showed promising results, with a 95% accuracy rate in 2021, subsequently confirmed with real-world data alongside NHS physicians in the UK in 2022.

Twinn Health is not just about creating technologies; it's about improving lives, making today's limitations tomorrow's innovations. As we continue to explore the intersection of AI and healthcare, let's remember that the ultimate goal is to enhance the quality of life for individuals around the world.
