DETECTRA’s mission
Leveraging AI in Health to Optimize Inflammatory Arthritis Care
Living with inflammatory arthritis presents daily challenges, from unpredictable flare-ups to the physical and emotional toll of managing chronic pain. This condition, such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis, is a real cause of disability and affects millions all over the world. Healthcare providers do not currently have the ability nor the resources to monitor patients continuously, which results in missed opportunities for early interventions.
At DETECTRA, our mission is to address arthritis management challenges through an innovative remote monitoring system that brings solutions to both patients and healthcare providers. By harnessing advanced digital biomarkers and AI-powered image recognition, we strive to deliver real-time insights, improve patient outcomes, and optimize care delivery.
