Volpara Health

Many thanks to The Imaging Wire for having me on the most recent show. We dive into our evaluation of a commercial AI solution for DBT and its implication for breast cancer screening. Pre-print of our results coming this week!

Here’s The Squeeze… The trends occurring with breast cancer rates rising in younger women is troubling. This issue highlights the urgent need to go beyond standard screening protocols, breakthroughs associated with risk assessments being a more actionable tool, and more! Thanks to JAMA Network Open and American Cancer Society for their recent, enlightening coverage of cancer statistics. We can change this narrative together.

Join us at NCBC 2025! 🎉 If you’re heading to Las Vegas (March 21-24) for the NCBC National Consortium of Breast Centers conference, be sure to stop by our booth 205-305! Come explore Volpara Risk Pathways - an Epic-integrated or cloud solution that streamlines high-risk patient identification and personalized care planning. Plus, discover how we’re teaming up with Lunit Cancer Screening to bring AI-driven early detection to your center. Together, we help: - Optimize image quality & guide staff training - Identify cancers unseen to the human eye - Simplify reporting & compliance We’d love to discuss how your center can differentiate in today’s competitive landscape. Let’s connect! 📍 See you at NCBC 2025!

"AI nailed it." That’s how David Forsberg, M.D. described the moment Lunit’s AI flagged a subtle but concerning area on a mammogram. For his patient, Linda Meyers, it was a life-changing moment. AI guided the radiology team to the exact spot that needed further investigation, leading to an early-stage diagnosis and treatment. Now, about two-thirds of Dr. Forsberg’s patients are opting into AI during their regular screenings, and he is using it every day to help women like Linda. This is the power of AI in early cancer detection. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/g3A4wbJj

🌟 AI-STREAM: Groundbreaking new study in Breast Cancer Screening! 🌟 New research, published in Nature Communications, marks the world’s first #large_scale, #multicenter, #prospective study in a single-reader setting! 📈 Key Findings: 13.8% increase in Cancer Detection Rates (CDR) for breast radiologists reading with AI compared to those without AI, with no significant difference in recall rates. These results reinforce our AI role as a game-changer, especially for countries like Korea and the U.S., which rely on #single_reader mammography screening strategy! And there’s more—our AI has already been proven clinically effective in #ScreenTrustCAD, another prospective trial that has demonstrated its impact in #double_reader settings. 🎯 With two major prospective clinical trials backing our AI, one thing is clear: our AI is a powerful force multiplier, helping radiologists detect cancer earlier and more accurately in both single and double-reader environments. #lunit #lunitinsight #mmg #dbt #breastai #aicancer #medical #AI #cancer #cancerscreening #mammogram #mammography #breastcancer #breasthealth #research #study #healthcare 🔽 Read more

🔍 What impact could we have in health and care if our data was safe, secure, and trusted? At #ViVE25, HDM's editorial team posed this question to some of the brightest minds in the industry, including Teri Thomas, CEO of Volpara Health. Her insights were clear: trust in AI and data security are the linchpins of healthcare’s digital future. 💡 Trust is the true barrier to AI adoption. AI has the power to transform healthcare, but as Teri pointed out, “The foundation of trust comes down to the data you use to create the AI.” Without diverse, representative datasets and transparency in how AI makes decisions, skepticism will persist. 💡 Security isn’t just about compliance—it’s about confidence. Patients, providers, and payers must be assured that AI systems are not only accurate but also responsibly designed. Volpara’s dual scan approach is an example of how AI can be built for precision and reliability, reducing uncertainty in diagnostics. 💡 Data integrity fuels healthcare innovation. If we had full confidence in our data, AI could do more than assist—it could become a seamless extension of clinical decision-making, allowing providers to focus on patient care instead of system constraints. 💡 Economics & access matter. Volpara’s Second Read AI model shifts AI from a cost center to a patient-driven revenue model, giving individuals the choice to leverage AI for a second review of their mammograms. This kind of approach could democratize access to cutting-edge technologies. We are at a pivotal moment. If we get trust, security, and transparency right, AI could help us catch diseases earlier, and provide better outcomes for all patients. But first, we need to ask ourselves: 👉 What would change in healthcare if we fully trusted our data? Let’s start that conversation. #HealthDataManagement #AIinHealthcare #DataSecurity #TrustedAI

Make 2025 the year you improve how you identify and manage high-risk patients and prevent advanced-stage breast cancer. Rush University did: "We have a 56-year-old patient whose life was changed by understanding her risk and getting access to additional imagining beyond her annual mammogram."
