Enlitic To Partner With Paiyipai To Deploy Deep Learning In Health Check Centers Across China

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Enlitic, a medical deep learning company, is pleased to announce that it has executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Beijing Hao Yun Dao Information & Technology Co., Ltd ("Paiyipai") to provide Enlitic's deep learning solution to Paiyipai for diagnostic imaging in Health Check centers across China.

Paiyipai is a medical big data company. The company is a market leader in China in the analysis of individual laboratory medical test results, and the storage and distribution of user medical records.

The MOU forms the basis of collaboration for the first large-scale commercial deployment of Enlitic's deep learning technology in China. It was executed following a successful 10,000 chest x-ray trial of Enlitic's patient triage platform.

The private health check industry has emerged in the last decade in China as an essential care-management system, providing access to regular check-up and diagnostic services along with medical data portability in the absence of a general practitioner network. Recent reforms have seen an expansion of private healthcare services in China, with approximately 300 million people using health check services in a growing market currently worth an estimated RMB80 billion per year (USD11 billion). The majority of patients receive annual chest x-rays and basic check-up services, with options to include MRIs, CT studies and genetic testing.

"Deep learning supported diagnostic solutions delivered across a growing network will drive significant efficiencies in healthcare delivery, and provide rich insights to improve early detection, treatment planning, and disease monitoring. We are very excited about what this large-scale deployment will mean for healthcare in the 21^st century," said Sally Daub, CEO, Enlitic.

Enlitic's deep learning technology will enable Paiyipai to leverage insights from billions of clinical cases to deliver world-leading radiological diagnostic services across a broad patient network.

Andrew Harrison, Managing Director of Capitol Health Limited (ASX:CAJ) – a leading institutional investor in Enlitic, noted "the scale of the Chinese Health Check market lends itself to the deployment of Enlitic technology, due to large patient volumes and the shortage of practicing radiologists. Enlitic technology will drastically change the economics of this market and provide users with significant competitive advantage."
