Eon Sets New Standards in Radiology with Milestone Achievements
Eon Achieves Major Milestone in Radiology Reports Analysis
Specialized AI and real-world experience enable early diagnosis across multiple health systems.
Eon, a leading AI-powered platform specializing in the early detection and management of incidental findings, has announced a groundbreaking milestone: the analysis of over half a billion radiology reports. This achievement underscores Eon's pivotal role in addressing the challenges associated with incidental findings, which occur in approximately one-third to 40% of imaging studies. Alarmingly, research indicates that 70% of patients do not receive adequate follow-up care after such findings.
Transforming Incidental Findings into Actionable Insights
As Eon continues to expand its capabilities, health systems are now better equipped to identify and act on incidental findings promptly. "We began our collaboration with Eon in 2018, closely focusing on incidental pulmonary nodules. Today, we've broadened our efforts to encompass ten different diseases and conditions, including our latest focus on breast health," remarked Bartholomew Daugherty, Vice President of Clinical Technology and Systems. Daugherty emphasized that hospitals not utilizing these advanced technologies risk overlooking vital patient care opportunities.
Mission-Driven Innovation by Eon
Dr. Akrum (Aki) Al-Zubaidi, the Founder and CEO of Eon, expressed his views on this historic milestone: "Our mission revolves around saving lives and granting more tomorrows to patients. This accomplishment showcases our commitment to translating half a billion reports into actionable clinical intelligence, turning potential missed opportunities into avenues for early diagnosis." Eon emerged after Dr. Al-Zubaidi's personal experience in diagnosing a patient with Stage IV lung cancer, revealing how critical it is to recognize incidental findings in time.
Advanced AI Engines for Comprehensive Care
Since launching its inaugural lung AI in 2016, Eon has incorporated sophisticated computational linguistics—allowing for consistent and traceable results—in its AI engines. They've extended their focus across various medical conditions, including lung, pancreas, breast, thyroid, kidney, liver, and cardiovascular diseases. Recognizing the need for comprehensive support, Eon augmented its offerings in 2020 by introducing expert navigation services, ensuring that health systems could effectively manage rising patient demands without disproportionately increasing staffing levels.
Proven Impact and Future Plans
Health systems adopting Eon's platform consistently report follow-up completion rates exceeding 75% for patients with incidental pulmonary nodules, vastly exceeding the national average of around 30%. Facilities utilizing Eon have reported diagnosing a significant portion of lung cancers during the most treatable Stage I or II, achieving early-stage detection rates that are up to three times higher than national benchmarks.
Amie Miller, ARNP, Program Leader at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, highlighted the importance of Eon's contributions: "There are folks in our community who have lung cancer without even knowing it. Thanks to Eon, we can detect these cases early when they are still curable." Eon's recent half-a-billion reports milestone coincides with the rollout of its next-generation Eon 5.0 platform, aiming for broader availability and enhanced functionality.
