Lunit announced the signing of a supply and license agreement with Capio S:t Gran Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. Under the agreement, Lunit will provide S:t Gran Hospital with Lunit INSIGHT MMG, an AI solution for mammography analysis, for the next three years. Capio S:t gran Hospital is Sweden's private hospital with over 2,300 medical staff.

It is operated by Capio, a part of the Ramsay Sant group. The hospital delivers both planned and emergency medical care services to 100,000 patients from the region of Stockholm. The integration of Lunit's AI solution will enable Capio S:t Gran hospital to analyze approximately 78,000 patients' mammography images each year, significantly contributing to Sweden's national cancer screening program.

Sweden currently struggles with a pronounced shortage of radiologists, posing challenges to efficient mammography analysis. In response, Lunit INSIGHT MMG is poised to play a pivotal role in addressing this shortage and enhancing the efficacy of cancer screening programs. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, the solution assists radiologists in accurately interpreting mammography images, alleviating the burden on limited resources. This collaboration introduces an advancement where, for the very first time, AI takes on the role of interpreting mammography as an independent reader in a structural and validated setting.

By leveraging AI technology in a safe, scalable, and effective manner, this innovative approach not only enhances productivity but also reduces the necessary workforce by half in the double screening setting. The decision to adopt Lunit INSIGHT MMG by S:t Gran Hospital was bolstered by the results of the world's first prospective medical AI study. Led by Dr. Fredrik Strand at Karolinska University Hospital.

The study examined data from 55,581 Swedish women provided by S:t Gran Hospital. The study demonstrated that the combined analysis of one radiologists and AI, achieved higher cancer detection rates and lower recall rates compared to the analysis performed by two radiologists.
