Prediction
MedBrain delivers an Accurate Diagnostic Prediction and patient Management Plan.
A market-wide systematic review (W. Wallace et al., 2022) published in Nature collected diagnostic accuracy averages from 9 different publications, which ranged from 19% to 37% across the entire Diagnostic Decision Support System (DDSS) market.
MedBrain outperformed all DDSSs evaluated in the literature, providing correct diagnostic predictions in 208 of the 250 externally sourced patient cases. Our validation can be reproduced by any third party by accessing our public dataset and introducing cases into MedBrain.
Meet Our Team
MedBrain exists at the intersection of clinical medicine and data science. Our highly experienced engineering and analytics team is powered by Lambdaloopers. Our medical advisory board includes 25+ NHS physicians who work closely with us, sharing their expertise and advising us throughout our journey.
Pol is a medical doctor and former resident in neurosurgery at the NHS. After acknowledging the global diagnostic gap and the potential of data science in diagnostics, he left his career in neurosurgery to build MedBrain full-time.
As CEO, he leads innovation by identifying market needs and leveraging data science, medical statistics, and gathering clinical feedback from our team of medical advisors and from different stakeholders in the healthcare industry. He runs daily operations, helping lead our medical and engineering departments to ensure OKRs are met.
Pol has been previously selected as a Global Top 50 entrepreneur by The Kairos Society (K50, 2017) and by Singularity University (Global Grand Challenge Awards, 2017), and has been featured as a Top 50 Global Entrepreneurs to Watch in the Next Decade, by Inc. magazine.
