What is Thermalytix
Thermalytix is a Novel Artificial Intelligence based medical device for breast cancer screening test. It is an affordable, portable, safe and accurate method of detecting breast abnormalities. It is radiation free , employs no touch and no see approach and works for women of all age groups.
How does Thermalytix – Breast Cancer Screening Test work
The solution uses a high resolution thermal sensing device and a cloud hosted analytics solution for analyzing the thermal images for reliable, early and accurate breast cancer screening.Thermalytix employs innovative proprietary machine learning and deep learning algorithms to analyze temperature distribution on the chest, to automatically generate a quantitative report showing a breast health score and assist doctors in identifying abnormal breast lesion.
Benefits of Thermalytix
Non Contact Private Screening
The equipment is placed at 3ft from the patient. offering a no-touch, no-visual approach that ensures a painless procedure
No Side Effects
Thermalytix does not use radiation of any form & measures temperatures
on the body.
Portable Equipment
The thermal sensor used by Niramai can be carried to any location in an
ordinary backpack increasing accessibility of screening test
Low Cost Per Screening
Niramai technology cost per screening is significantly lower compared to
other modalities.
Early Detection
Detects tumors significantly smaller (5mm) than what can be detected
with physical examination (25mm).
Age Agnostic:
It is age and breast density agnostic and works even for women below 40
years for whom Mammography is not recommended
