Reveal -Sentry System
Sentry is able to identify within seconds whether the tissue being investigated is cancerous or not. Our technology allows surgeons to safely and precisely remove more cancer than current imaging modalities – ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients.
Sentry’s ability to characterize tissue in vivo – while in surgery – is a game-changer. Surgeons can gain clarity on the type of tissue they’re investigating simply by applying an optical tool to the area in question. The power behind this probe is an AI engine that provides real-time tissue diagnostics.
We built our AI engine by taking thousands of Raman measurements from hundreds of patients across different tissues types – cancerous tissue, normal tissue, and those in-between – correlating them in real-time with their ground truths. These ground truths have been determined by hospital pathologists with extensive expertise in tissue classification. We then built a predictive classifier using these measurements, which in turn informs us whether or not the selected tissue is cancerous. The more measurements we add, the more accurate the classifier becomes.
