[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwanju] Artificial intelligence startup Ingrediant announced on the 11th that it has been finally selected for the '2022 AI Voucher Support Project' and will participate as a supplier company.

Ingrediant will carry out the project titled 'Creation of Diffusion-Weighted Brain MRI Dataset and AI Development for Automatic Detection and Segmentation of Acute Stroke Lesions' together with Professor Yoon Sungwon's team, head of the Big Data AI Center at Daegu Catholic University Medical Center.

Through this project, a system that applies deep learning technology to acute stroke and assists radiological interpretation, as well as related solutions, will be jointly developed.

Cerebrovascular diseases require rapid thrombectomy before nerve damage occurs. The two institutions expect that the AI model development through this collaboration will lead to faster confirmation and interpretation of the presence, extent, volume, and size of acute stroke lesions, as well as increased treatment success rates.

Lee Junho, CEO of Ingrediant, said, “As society rapidly enters an aging phase, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases such as acute stroke is also rapidly increasing. By successfully carrying out this joint research under the AI Voucher Support Project, we plan to lay the foundation for AI development that not only reduces medical costs related to brain diseases but also detects more cases of early acute stroke diagnosis.”
