Streamlining radiotherapy treatment workflow

Founded by Mahmudul Hasan, Jarkko Niemelä, and Saad Ullah Akram in 2017, MVision AI is a cloud-based software service provider for radiotherapy treatment planning. 

The International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates that the number of patients treated with radiotherapy will grow to 29 million by 2040.

“The burden of cancer is growing for patients, hospitals, and carers. Our cloud-based AI-powered technology provides faster and more reliable clinical decision-making for cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. With our automation, we can speed up the entire treatment planning process while still delivering high-quality care,” says Mahmudul Hasan, MVision’s Founder and CEO.

The Finnish company uses artificial intelligence to automate cancer treatment planning with its automatic segmentation tool. 

According to MVision AI, their technology accelerates the entire cancer treatment process, significantly reducing treatment waiting times from weeks to days. 

MVision AI says its technology has successfully treated more than 100,000 cancer patients across 14 countries, with most patients originating in Finland, Sweden, Spain, France, the UK, and the USA.

The startup also claims that it has achieved  significant treatment wait-time in many facilities, including the Gainesville Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Florida.

Currently, the company employs a team of 30+ dedicated professionals with extensive backgrounds in the medical industry and AI research.
