AIQ Solutions has developed a revolutionary software technology that will change the way clinicians manage complex diseases such as metastatic cancer and neurological disorders. The cloud-based platform provides unique, early intelligence to predict both treatment effectiveness and toxicity risk from longitudinal imaging data. AIQ’s technology does not diagnosis disease; rather it enables the clinical team to make real-time, patient-specific adjustments to therapy, which helps improve outcomes while reducing healthcare system costs. AIQ has built and validated its product, achieved FDA clearance, and is on track to recognize $1 million in revenue in 2021. The company is actively seeking a $10 million Series A-1 to support commercialization activities.
