In Brief
- Challenge: AI For Societal Good
- Challenge Type: SFI Future Innovator Prize
- Status: Complete
The Challenge
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and can lead to significant health issues. Despite this, diagnosis can take up to 7 years. Timely diagnosis has the power to transform women’s lives, enabling appropriate treatment to stop the progression of the disease and preserve fertility.
The Solution
The Cailín team will develop a non-invasive digital biomarker for endometriosis by measuring disease-specific symptoms and applying advanced machine learning techniques. This disruptive AI-enabled technology will end the diagnostic delay.
