Blackford, an enterprise AI platform provider, and DeepTek, a company specializing in AI-based chest X-ray technology, have entered a commercial partnership to make DeepTek's CXR Analyzer available on the Blackford Platform.

The Blackford platform offers a portfolio of over 140 AI-driven healthcare solutions, aimed at enhancing clinical accuracy, streamlining workflows, and improving patient outcomes. Integrating DeepTek's chest X-ray analysis tool broadens this portfolio, providing healthcare professionals with an advanced tool for chest X-ray interpretation.

"We are delighted to partner with DeepTek and integrate their innovative chest analysis solutions into the Blackford AI portfolio," said Ben Panter, founder and CEO of Blackford. "This collaboration allows us to enhance our support for chest X-ray analysis, advancing our mission to drive efficiency across healthcare and improve patient health globally."
DeepTek’s CXR Analyzer, which has received FDA clearance, uses computer-assisted detection (CADe) to aid radiologists in identifying potential chest abnormalities. The AI analyzes the lung, pleura, and cardiac regions, identifying suspicious areas with precision. Designed for seamless integration with existing PACS systems, the software operates in the background, either on-premise or cloud-based, without disrupting workflow.

The CXR Analyzer’s AI distinguishes suspicious from non-suspicious cases, returning results as secondary captures within the PACS. Key findings are marked with color-coded boxes, streamlining radiologists' ability to interpret images accurately and efficiently.

“We’re pleased to bring DeepTek CXR Analyzer to Blackford’s trusted AI platform, advancing our shared mission to deliver precise, rapid chest X-ray insights that enhance diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes,” said Dr. Amit Kharat, co-founder and CEO of DeepTek.ai. He emphasized the alignment between the companies, noting that the collaboration supports their mutual goal of enhancing diagnostic capabilities in a fast-evolving healthcare landscape.
