Dyad Medical Joins the Japan External Trade Organization

The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has welcomed a new member.

Dyad Medical Inc. has joined the organization as it looks to expand into global markets. This acceptance into the program follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for the company’s Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (IVOCT) image analysis module.
 
With its JETRO association, Dyad Medical aims to connect with potential investors and other partners in Japan and other countries in Asia. JETRO, a non-profit organization that helps businesses successfully enter the Japanese market, offers resources for businesses to partner with various organizations, investors and other healthcare partners. These partnerships will allow Dyad Medical to expand its efforts in the adoption of imaging AI in high quality patient care. 
 
“Dyad Medical’s Intravascular OCT app, Libby IAAA, received FDA clearance,” said Ronny Shalev, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Dyad Medical. “We are enhancing our FDA application to provide more clinical validation and our association with JETRO will help us further broaden the adoption of imaging AI as an integral part of value-based care.”
 
Libby IAAA is an AI and cloud-based healthcare technology for cardiovascular imaging analysis. With this technology, Dyad Medical aims to enable doctors to interpret medical image content more efficiently from anywhere in the world. Libby is powered by artificial intelligence, as a global community of clinicians have shared their expertise to train the AI model, effectively offering practitioners “thousands of second opinions.”

It is powered by the expertise of a global community of clinicians who train the model, effectively offering practitioners “thousands of second opinions.” Within the digital diagnostics arena, Dyad Medical’s core focus is on cardiac imaging because more people die as a result of cardiovascular disease than all types of cancer, diabetes, and accidents combined.
