Head and neck cancer often goes undetected until it reaches an advanced stage, with up to 70% of cases falling into this category. The NHS has set significant goals for 2023/24, including earlier cancer detection, improved healthcare efficiency, and reduced environmental impact.
Diagnosing head and neck cancer is challenging, especially with nasendoscopy, a procedure that involves a clinician examining the nasal passage, throat, and voice box using a camera. The accuracy of nasendoscopy is subjective, relying on the clinician's skill, which can lead to inaccuracies in diagnosis.
Blaise by ChaseAI is a groundbreaking software that substantially enhances the accuracy of nasendoscopy.
Blaise can be seamlessly integrated with the existing equipment used for this procedure and has the remarkable ability to capture images, identify cancer, and generate detailed reports using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
In rigorous testing, Blaise outperformed experienced doctors, in identifying cancer cases and to accurately rule out cancer when it is not present.
Wider adoption of Blaise has the potential to diagnose cancer earlier, not only saving lives but also reducing the financial burden on the NHS by cutting treatment costs related to unnecessary tests and biopsies.
