Introducing Optellum to the VA: Working to Solve Lung Cancer

Optellum is a lung health company developing a lung precision care platform to redefine the efficient management, early diagnosis, and optimal care for people with disease. Lung cancer is one of the deadliest diseases, and US veterans have a higher prevalence of advanced lung cancer compared to the general population. Ensuring that veterans are supported in accessing the best possible care, and their healthcare providers are supported in delivering it, is essential to preventing disease progression and poor health outcomes from transpiring.{class="lead"}

Optellum’s Virtual Nodule Clinic (VNC) is the world’s only FDA-cleared AI-powered solution for managing and prioritizing lung nodules to help diagnose lung cancer early. VNC offers a triple-pronged approach: find, manage, and prioritize. Optellum’s Patient Discovery AI makes identifying people with lung nodules faster, with 98% specificity and 100% sensitivity. VNC’s workflow management system enables healthcare providers to track and manage their cases with seamless efficiency. In addition, Optellum’s risk stratification tool, Lung Cancer Prediction (LCP) AI, analyses nodules on CT images to produce a cancer risk score to support clinicians and reinforce decisions on next steps.
