SenseTime Awarded CE Mark for AI Medical Solution SenseCare-Lung Pro

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SenseTime, the world-leading artificial intelligence (AI) company, announced its AI-empowered software solution, SenseCare-Lung Pro, has been awarded the CE mark to meet the safety and performance requirements demanded in the European Economic Area (EEA). The software enables faster and more automated diagnosis of lung diseases including COVID-19 infections based on CT image analysis.

The CE certification of SenseCare-Lung Pro ensures that the software can be commercialised in the EU market under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (MDR), a new regulation issued in response to the development of the medical device industry with higher requirements for clinical evaluation and product testing before the device is approved for use in the market. This milestone demonstrates the solution's ability to analyze lung diseases safely and effectively.

Based on SenseTime's deep-learning technologies, SenseCare-Lung Pro software improves the efficiency and accuracy of the diagnostic procedures for doctors in identifying lung cancers and pneumonia. Its AI capabilities mean it can automatically detect abnormalities of lung nodules and pneumonia, like COVID-19. It provides comprehensive analysis such as lesion classification, risk evaluation, quantification, and general structured reports.

"This is a significant milestone for SenseTime in our strategy to bring SenseCare-Lung Pro to international markets and support doctors in the diagnosis of critical lung diseases. The software has been further upgraded to detect suspect cases of COVID-19 during the pandemic to ease the strain on medical resources in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and a dozen other cities. SenseTime will continue its extensive research activities to develop the highest quality and standards of AI products to empower the healthcare sector for the global community," said Dr. Zhang Shaoting, Vice President and Deputy Head of Research at SenseTime.

"With the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia, we pinpointed a pressing need for the software to support early detection of the disease in order to ease the constraints on medical resources. Looking beyond the pandemic, Malaysia is also accelerating its digital transformation to become a regional powerhouse and leader of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in domains such as digital healthcare. At SenseTime, we share the same vision to continually push the frontiers of efficiency and advancement in our AI-powered health solutions in Malaysia and the Southeast Asia region," said Mr Martin Huang, Managing Director of SenseTime International Pte. Ltd.
