Life Sciences Business challenge Spectral MD had developed deep-learning algorithms to improve diagnosis by analysing images of wounds, but was struggling to scale its IT resources to meet demand. Transformation The organization deployed IBM Cloud Bare metal servers with state-of-the-art NVIDIA Tesla GPUs to train its DeepView Wound Imaging System faster, ultimately increasing the speed and accuracy of burn diagnoses. “Knowing that IBM is taking care of our IT infrastructure lets our teams focus on advancing the frontiers of medical science.” —Jeffrey Thatcher, Chief Scientist, Spectral MD Jeffrey Thatcher, Chief Scientist, Spectral MD Business benefits: Empowers doctors to administer timely and effective treatment 90% faster processing of wound data, accelerating diagnosis Helps Spectral MD reduce risk of misdiagnosis from 30% to 5% Spectral MD Revolutionizes the diagnosis and treatment of burns using advanced imaging and machine learning Solution components IBM® Cloud bare metal servers with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs Client Name Spectral MD Company Background Based in Dallas, Texas, Spectral MD is a medical device start-up company at the clinical-research stage of development. The company has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the first generation of its DeepView solution, which uses advanced multispectral digital imaging, augmented by machine learning, to give clinicians an accurate view of subcutaneous tissues. The solution achieves this in a non-invasive way and without emitting any harmful radiation. Business challenge Up to 30% of burns are misdiagnosed. Spectral MD had developed deep-learning algorithms to improve diagnosis by analyzing images of wounds, but was struggling to scale its IT resources to meet demand. The benefit Empowers doctors to administer timely and effective treatment 90% faster processing of wound data, accelerating diagnosis Helps Spectral MD reduce risk of misdiagnosis from 30% to 5% Pull Quote “Knowing that IBM is taking care of our IT infrastructure needs takes pressure off our engineering and scientific teams, giving them more time to focus on advancing the frontiers of medical science.” —Jeffrey Thatcher, Chief Scientist, Spectral MD Solution components IBM® Cloud Bare metal servers with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs Case study Link https://www.ibm.com/case-studies/Spectral-MD-IBM-Cloud-Burns-Deep-Learning Based in Dallas, Texas, Spectral MD is a medical device start-up company at the clinical-research stage of development.
