Major East Coast Health System Chooses IB
Nimble for Their Brain Metastases Program of Excellence
Imaging Biometrics, LLC (IB), a
wholly owned subsidiary of IQ-AI Ltd (LSE: IQAI), today announces
that a leading cancer centre located on the eastern seaboard has
subscribed to IB Nimble to optimize the care for patients with
metastatic brain cancer. IB Nimble is a handheld app, available on
iOS and Android devices and a web-based desktop version, that
enables secure, remote, and asynchronous discussions amongst
multidisciplinary specialists.
Brain metastases occur when cancer
cells spread to the brain from their original site. This is common
with breast, lung, and skin (melanoma) cancers. Metastases are the
most common type of brain cancer, and their prevalence is
increasing. This is due in part to the improved treatments for
those other cancers. As patients with these other cancers live
longer, it is more likely those cancer cells will eventually
migrate to the brain.
The modern care of patients diagnosed
with brain metastases requires expert input from specialists in
medical oncology, radiation oncology, neuro-oncology, neurosurgery,
and palliative care. This input is typically obtained during weekly
meetings or "tumor boards". Depending on when a patient is
admitted, they may need to wait multiple days until the tumor board
meets before a treatment plan can be developed.
Treatment decisions require timely
discussions to provide optimal personalized care. IB Nimble is
integral to this effort as it facilitates real-time discussion and
collaboration amongst all the multidisciplinary specialists. The
mobile app will be used to improve the quality of care by, for
example, improving patient-reported outcomes, avoiding unnecessary
hospital admissions, and decreasing the length of hospital
stays.
"The potential for multi-site
collaboration is now literally in our hands with IB Nimble," said
Dr. Joe Bovi, MD, one of the inventors of IB Nimble. "We look
forward to working very closely with this health care centre," Dr.
Bovi added.
"The product roadmap for IB Nimble is
clear. By the end of 2024, our development team will have completed
significant enhancements to the software architecture, including
the addition of a highly requested feature - viewing medical
images," said Tim Dondlinger, COO of IB. "In advance of that, we
are already working on our sales pipeline," added Mr.
Dondlinger.
