About us: Franklin.ai
Franklin.ai aims to apply the latest methodologies in artificial intelligence (AI) to ultimately put groundbreaking AI tools in the hands of pathologists.
Franklin.ai is a joint venture between global medical diagnostic leader Sonic Healthcare (ASX:SHL) and health technology game-changer Harrison.ai with a mission to raise the standard of healthcare for millions of patients every day.
Globally, pathology faces a stark skills shortage, with the number of US pathologists decreasing 18% between 2007 and 2017 despite an increase in workload. Building comprehensive AI solutions for pathology will help scale the capacity of diagnostic care across the globe. This new partnership combines Harrison.ai's depth of expertise and comprehensive AI methodologies with Sonic Healthcare's global clinical experience and distribution. The collaboration will unlock digital pathology to provide pathologists with a second set of eyes, using state-of-the-art AI technology to deliver efficient and accurate diagnosis support.
We’re redefining what’s possible in healthcare, through AI technology.
