野山羊, an innovative company at the forefront of pioneering technology for osteoporosis screening, anticipates substantial growth as it enters the deployment phase of its Bone Health software.
og真人电子app-based 野山羊 has developed revolutionary software that provides early detection of osteoporosis – a health condition that weakens bones, making them fragile 和 more likely to break – from routine wrist radiographs.
在11月, the Sedgefield company announced its first major deal to integrate its technology – 野山羊 Bone Health - into new medical imaging machines manufactured 和 distributed by global-leader Agfa Radiology Solutions under the br和 name DensityScan.
几个月后, 野山羊 revealed it was working with Metaltronica, an Italian provider of diagnostic imaging equipment, 将其技术融入新的, state-of-the-art diagnostic mammography system, 西布莉. This would allow radiographers to take an X-ray of the wrist on the mammography machine, aiding in the early detection 和 treatment of osteoporosis among the most impacted group in society – post menopausal women 和 those undergoing breast cancer treatment.
CEO Dr Paul Scott said 野山羊 is poised to scale the business. “This represents the culmination of a four-year journey for 野山羊,他说. “With the software development work now complete, we are ready to commercialise this opportunity we aim to start seeing the software in hospitals, 造福无数病人, 到今年年底. This is an exciting 和 immensely rewarding phase for everyone at 野山羊.”
野山羊, which historically specialised in X-ray image enhancement software, redirected its efforts last July to focus exclusively on Bone Health technology. The decision was driven by the critical need in the UK 和 worldwide to address osteoporosis, which affects an estimated 1 in 3 women 和 1 in 5 men at an estimated cost of £4.每年60亿美元.
Dr Scott emphasised the significance of early detection in combating the ‘silent disease’. “及早发现病人是关键. Simple lifestyle changes 和 low-cost treatments can reduce fracture risk, improving outcomes for patients 和 reducing the burden on the NHS” he explained. “Our Bone Health technology is revolutionising how osteoporosis cases are identified, allowing this to be picked up from a st和ard X-ray, meaning that patients can be diagnosed opportunistically, 最好是在他们第一次骨折之前.”
野山羊 Bone Health is compatible with wrist X-rays 和 work is underway to extend to other regions of the body, including the hip which is the st和ard region for diagnosing the disease. “This will offer major benefits in developing countries where access to diagnostic equipment is in many cases almost non-existent,斯科特博士说。.
With its shift in focus 和 following changes enforced during the COVID-19 p和emic, 野山羊重组了其业务, moving to a much more flexible way of working. 员工现在大多在家办公, 和 the company has moved to being much more output driven, rather than counting the hours spent in the office. 作为这项计划的一部分, 野山羊采用了每周一次的礼物日, where employees are gifted a day back by the company. As a result of the changing needs of the business, 野山羊 has relocated offices to a smaller facility at Plexus, which serves their new way of working perfectly.
Dr Scott expressed his gratitude for the pivotal role og真人电子app manager Sara Williams played in 野山羊's journey. “og真人电子app has consistently adapted to the evolving needs of our business, 和 Sara's 和 the team’s unwavering support during our transition to remote work was invaluable,他说. “野山羊 和 og真人电子app continue to share a steadfast dedication to innovation 和 excellence.”
莎拉抢, 达勒姆商学院常务董事, 负责监督网园的运作, said: "野山羊's innovative Bone Health technology is a shining example of how og真人电子app businesses are at the forefront of developing solutions for critical healthcare challenges. Their commitment to early detection of osteoporosis has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes 和 reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
