Qure.ai Secures Major Investment to Drive AI-Powered Medical Diagnostics
In a significant funding round, medical technology startup Qure.ai has raised $65 million (INR 543 crore) in Series D financing. The round was co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and 360 ONE Asset Management, with additional participation from Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, Kae Capital, Novo Holdings, Health Quad, and TeamFund. This fresh injection of capital positions Qure.ai for rapid expansion into international markets and advancement in its AI-based healthcare solutions.
Pioneering AI-Driven Disease Detection Since 2016
Founded in 2016 by Prashant Warier, Qure.ai has been revolutionising the way medical imaging diagnostics are conducted. The company’s AI technology aids in detecting various health conditions, including brain injuries and chest diseases, using X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. With the new funds, Qure.ai plans to expand its footprint in the U.S. and other global markets, while also improving its generative AI (GenAI) foundation models and exploring strategic acquisitions.
Transforming Medical Diagnostics with AI
Qure.ai’s advanced algorithms significantly reduce the time needed to identify critical medical conditions. Traditionally, doctors require hours to interpret diagnostic images, but Qure.ai’s AI systems can analyse and detect abnormalities in a fraction of the time. This not only speeds up diagnosis but also improves the overall quality of care in hospitals and clinics worldwide. According to Prashant Warier, CEO and co-founder of Qure.ai, “AI is transforming healthcare by overcoming bottlenecks in diagnostics, and this funding will enable us to enhance our global operations and continue improving patient outcomes.”
A Growing Trend in the Indian MedTech Space
India’s MedTech industry is booming, with digital health innovations and AI integration driving significant growth. Qure.ai’s latest funding comes amidst a wave of investments in the sector. For instance, SigTuple, another medical technology startup, raised $4 million recently to expand its product offerings. Similarly, Visit Health secured $29.8 million from Docprime Technologies to boost its online healthcare services.
