The agreement – signed between the university and Pro Medicus’ U.S. subsidiary Visage Imaging, Inc. – will provide a framework through which the two parties will collaborate on the development and commercialisation of the platform, looking specifically into its artificial intelligence capabilities.

It will also build on a relationship already established with UCSF through an existing agreement related to Pro Medicus’ Visage 7 Viewer product.

Visage Imaging Global CTO Malte Westerhoff said the partnership around Visage AI Accelerator was a very important milestone.

“Our AI Accelerator program was designed to closely align Visage’s engineering and product development capability with clinical research partners such as UCSF who have a depth of clinical knowledge and extensive research expertise,” he said.
