Analysis of X-RAY for pathology detection
TechCare Alert is an automatic pathology localisation AI tool. TechCare Alert is indicated only for radiographies of the following anatomic regions: chest (including ribs), clavicle, shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, fingers, hip, pelvis, femur, knee, leg (including tibia and fibula), ankle and foot.Depending on the anatomic region and exam view, Techcare Alert is trained to detect the following pathologies: Bone fracture, Joint dislocation, Elbow joint effusion, Pleural effusion (frontal & profile thorax examination), Pulmonary opacity (frontal thorax examination), Pulmonary nodule (frontal thorax examination), Pneumothorax (frontal thorax examination)

100% recommandation rate in independent customer survey (1). This study is independent and was performed by an external company
Milvue has been compared to other vendors in external study in university hospital and the study found it had the best accuracy and best findings (homogeneity) across all parts of the body and ages sub-groups. This is this only published, external comparative study on IA solutions for Fracture detection in Europe, published in October 2023 (1)
Emergency units : Reduction of diagnosis errors: 90% avoided (3) / Reduction of waiting time for patients by 1 hour (4) / Reduction of complaints(4) Productivity gain: 24% (detection, time for analysis) (5)(1)
CASE STUDY IN DENMARK Milvue Suite is used in Emergency department of Denmark’s Northern Region through a partner Human BytesIt improves patients’ pathway, reduce waiting time of patient by 1 hour and reduction of complaints* Medical guidelines in the Northern Region have even been changed with the use of Milvue SuiteKey takeaways:
Medical personnel in Emergency departments (Physicians, treatment nurses) can decide on a treatment following the output of the IA (ex: further investigation with CT)
Patients without fractures can be sent home immediately after their X-Ray. The Milvue Suite reduces waiting time and workloadWithin 48h the radiography is reviewed by a radiologist to confirm the diagnosis (4)
