MedCognetics and AKARUI Deploy AI Mammography Platform in Rural India to Address Radiologist Shortage

MedCognetics, Inc. and AKARUI Solutions LLP have announced the deployment of an AI mammography platform in mobile screening vans serving rural communities in India under an Institutional Review Board agreement. This collaboration addresses India's severe shortage of qualified radiologists, where fewer than 500 breast imaging specialists serve a population exceeding 1.35 billion people. The integration of MedCognetics' advanced AI software into AKARUI's diagnostic workflows enables mobile mammography units to deliver instant analysis in areas without radiologists present.

The deployment utilizes MedCognetics' FDA-cleared CogNet AI-MT® software, specifically designed for triage of mammogram images and developed to reduce bias in cancer detection by incorporating imaging data representative of diverse patient populations. According to Debasish "Ron" Nag, CEO of MedCognetics, "We created our AI medical imaging technology to positively impact lives in every corner of this earth. This partnership with AKARUI is a real-world testament to that mission, allowing us to bring critical early detection capabilities to regions that have historically lacked access to specialized care."

The technology integration provides several key benefits including on-device cancer detection that eliminates the need for cloud connectivity, faster results through streamlined triaging and imaging processes, workforce extension that bridges diagnostic gaps in regions with few breast imaging specialists, and a scalable infrastructure designed for cost-effective portable deployments. Suhas Pokale, CEO of AKARUI Solutions LLP, emphasized that "AKARUI's software is designed to optimize medical imaging processes, ensuring high-quality care and efficient operation. Integrating MedCognetics' AI platform into our systems allows us to deliver enterprise-grade diagnostic power in even the most remote parts of India."

This initiative represents a significant advancement in global healthcare equity, particularly for resource-constrained environments where access to specialized medical care remains limited. The technology is specifically engineered for real-time use in portable deployments without compromising performance or accuracy, making it particularly valuable for mobile mammography vans operating in remote areas. The collaboration supports AKARUI's upcoming regional product launch with global imaging OEMs and reinforces MedCognetics' position as a pioneer in unbiased AI for healthcare.
