Ivy Chin, Partner, Inflection Point Ventures says, "The Indian radio-diagnosis market, growing at a CAGR of 15%+ over the last decade, has got a lot of focus on equipment & infrastructure. The under-stated need is that of qualified professionals, i.e. radiologists, to manage this burgeoning demand. There has been growth across tier 1, 2 & 3 for equipment but the availability and prohibitive costs of trained radiologists exacerbates the problem of demand outstripping supply situation. Endimension focuses on leveraging AI to facilitate faster assessment and diagnosis, employing generative AI to streamline report generation and reduce the time required by radiologists. IPV is confident that this investment will contribute towards the betterment of the industry".
The global market for AI in medical imaging is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. In 2024, the market size is estimated to be around USD 5.86 billion and is projected to reach USD 20.40 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.32% (Ref: Mordor Intelli). This growth is driven by the increasing demand for early and accurate diagnosis, the rising awareness about chronic diseases requiring imaging services, and the growing adoption of AI technologies in healthcare. Capitalizing on this, Endimension has established itself as an end-to-end AI platform for radiology diagnosis, distinguished by its seamless integration, multiple customization options, and ability to diagnose a wide range of conditions with precision, leading to improved patient outcomes. Endimension's platform has processed over 1 million scans to date and is currently deployed in 400 hospitals and diagnostic centres across multiple regions, enhancing their accessibility.
