The company CureMetrix uses FDA-cleared artificial intelligence technology as a powerful tool to assist medical professionals in women’s health care.
The company hopes its AI can improve disease detection and cancer survival rates.
“AI has been used on mammograms for quite some time,” Kevin Harris told Scripps News. “We were the first company to receive FDA approval for an AI-based mammography tool.”

Harris is the president and co-founder of CureMetrix, a company that says it works with hospitals to access and integrate data.
He said: “If you think about it, a mammogram is a medical image – and in the United States there are 40 million mammograms a year – and so AI can be used to read those mammograms and help assess what’s on those mammograms can be seen. Give radiologists more information.”
In the US, Harris says the country has really led the way in using AI in analyzing mammograms and in healthcare.
“I think AI offers huge opportunities in healthcare. There are a lot of repetitive tasks that can be automated with AI,” says Harris.
