Machine and deep learning startup Zebra Medical Vision raised $30 million in Series C funding, bringing the total investment in the company to $50 million. In addition, the company unveiled its Textray chest x-ray research— its most comprehensive AI research conducted on chest x-rays to date—which provides a glimpse into an automated chest x-ray analysis product being developed by the company.
This round of investment was led by aMoon Ventures with the participation of strategic healthcare investors Aurum, Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JJDC Inc., Intermountain Healthcare, and leading global AI scientists Professor Fei Fei Lee and Richard Socher. Existing investors Khosla Ventures, NVIDIA, Marc Benioff, OurCrowd, and Dolby Ventures also participated in the round.
Zebra’s chest x-ray AI analytics product was trained using nearly two million images to identify 40 different common clinical findings. The results of the study demonstrate high rates of agreement between the algorithm and human radiologist experts.
