09 Oct Otologic Technologies hopes to bring artificial intelligence into the exam room
The way doctors diagnose the causes of ear pains — such as infections or ruptured ear drums — hasn’t changed all that much in the last century. A Madison-based startup is looking to update that process using artificial intelligence.
Doctors still use otoscopes, which are essentially magnifying glasses with a light to see into a patient’s ear, but Otologic Technologies wants to use recordings from digital otoscopes to enhance images inside the ear and compare them to a database of known ear abnormalities to make the diagnostic process more accurate.
“We plan to have an impact on helping health care improve around ear diagnosis worldwide,” chief strategy officer Dan Wenger said.
