Health

Zebra – Hospital Sírio Libanês

Date

Nov 2018 - June 2019

Location

Hospital Sirio Libanes. São Paulo, Brazil

Hospital Sirio Libanes piloted Zebra’s  AI solution for vertebral compression fractures to identify patients at risk for osteoporosis. The pilot encourages radiologists to work with AI and provide feedback on the software. It also empowers radiologists to include AI as part of their workflow to prevent unreported or undiagnosed cases and evaluate the need for osteoporosis prevention programs.
