Viz.ai, the leader in AI-powered disease detection and intelligent care coordination, today announced a partnership with the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute (ALCMI), an international consortium made up of 25 of the world’s premier lung cancer research institutions. Together, Viz.ai and ALCMI will collaborate on improving lung cancer outcomes in patients by focusing on early detection with improved clinical workflow for nodule workup through to precision medicine optimization.

“We are pleased to partner with ALCMI to improve the standard of care for lung cancer patients,” said Chris Mansi, MD, CEO and co-founder at Viz.ai. “Lung cancer remains the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women, but with earlier detection we may be able to improve these statistics and save more lives. Our partnership will help healthcare providers coordinate and deliver the needed care at the right time and increase patient access to life-saving treatments.”

This partnership also seeks to integrate patient engagement and research expertise from ALCMI with Viz.ai’s AI-powered care coordination across 1,700 hospitals and health systems.

The collaboration aims to define the future of lung cancer research and treatment, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes by:

• Applying AI to oncology research, early detection, clinical workflows, and patient protocols.
• Addressing rural and community healthcare disparities by using AI to empower local physicians with the most advanced treatments and methodologies.

“Since our founding in 2008, ALCMI and our consortium members have been at the forefront of technological advances in lung cancer research,” said Richard Erwin, Executive Director at ALCMI. “AI represents an incredible opportunity to improve the speed and quality of our research, and we’re proud to partner with Viz.ai, which has led the way in the medical application of this technology. By bringing together leaders in AI and lung cancer research, we can make tremendous progress toward making lung cancer a survivable disease.”

ALCMI co-founder and lung cancer survivor Bonnie Addario added, “It’s critical that we utilize every available tool and resource to diagnose and treat this disease as early as possible. We intend to utilize the power of AI to assist in treating lung cancer patients earlier with more precise diagnosis and treatment regimens. We believe Viz.ai can be a driving force in better patient outcomes, and every moment matters to a lung cancer patient."
