    About
    Deep Bio

    Deep Bio was founded with the transformative mission: To advance patient outcomes by driving innovation in technology, while empowering clinicians by providing the tools to make critical decisions. We envision a world where clinicians are empowered with technology designed to unlock personalized insights and enhance healthcare delivery, so they can focus more on what they do best: caring for their patients.

    Solving Unmet Medical
    Needs with the Power of AI

    1 Challenges

    Pathology is a field of medicine where specimen samples such as organ, body tissue, or body fluids are examined to diagnose presence and severity of disease including cancer. In current practice, pathologists examine glass slides of processed specimens, using microscopes.

    Traditional Pathology Workflow

    • Step 1 Biopsy is performed on a patient with clinical suspicion of cancer.
    • Step 2 Tissue specimen is processed, mounted and stained on glass slides for examination.
    • Step 3 A pathologist examines the glass slides on a microscope and issues a final diagnosis that determine the follow up and treatment care for the patient.

    Traditional Pathology Workflow (for Prostate Cancer)

    • Step 1 Prostate needle biopsy is performed on a patient with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer.
    • Step 2 Tissue specimen is processed, mounted and stained on glass slides for examination.
    • Step 3 A pathologist examines the glass slides on a microscope and issues a diagnosis based on the Gleason Scoring System.

    Major Challenges 1

    Shortage of pathologists and the resultant increase in workload

    In the US, the number of active pathologists dropped by 18% from 2007 to 2017. In South Korea, only 7 graduates enrolled in pathology residency where 65 slots were available in 2020

    Major Challenges 2

    Discordance among pathologists in diagnosis

    With varying levels of talent and experience, pathologists notice different things and have different perspectives on what is important which results in inconsistency and discordance among pathologists in diagnoses.

    2 Technology

    We are a world leader in technological capability based on deep learning.

    Innovation

    Since its establishment, Deep Bio has committed to integrating state-of-the-art technology into clinical workflows for improved patient care.

    Transformation

    Our in-house medical experts and machine learning engineers combine their domain knowledge to bring the AI-driven transformation in the field of medicine.

    Evidence

    Deep Bio has retained its No.1 position in the Camelyon Challenge (Global image analysis competition for categorizing lymph node metastasis) since its first submission in 2019.

    3 Solutions

    Dedicated to tackling the challenges in pathology and improving diagnostic workflow, Deep Bio is developing and implementing deep learning-based cancer diagnostic support software.

    about img about img

    DeepDx®

    DeepDx® Prostate is a clinically-validated AI solution for prostate core needle biopsy tissue image analysis. Whole-slide images (WSIs) of H&E-stained biopsy tissue specimens are analyzed for prostate cancer, Gleason scores, and grade groups. Extensively tested at US CLIA labs (over 700k cores between 2019 and 2021), DeepDx® Prostate can alleviate the shortage of pathologists and the resultant increase in workload, while reducing diagnostic subjectivity and variability.

    Benefits of using DeepDx®

    Benefit 1

    Accuracy in quantifying the areas of interest in ratios

    Benefit 2

    Quality check for any potential missed areas of interest

    Benefit 3

    Consistency and reproducibility of diagnoses

    Deep Bio's deep learning-based cancer diagnostic support software minimizes the risk of human error from manual handling and subjectivity of pathologist assessment resulting in decreased turnaround time, more precise and consistent diagnostic results, and improved reproducibility. Precise classification and quantification of different morphological patterns and cells offer new insights and relationships that can help medical professionals optimize their decisions and determine the best treatment options for patients.

    I can instantly check the results from DeepDx® Prostate with a simple click of a button -sometimes revealing small areas of concern that I would have missed had I not had the tool running in the background.

    In particular, it (DeepDx® Prostate) reduces inter-and intra-observer variability. In hospitals without pathology residents, using DeepDx® Prostate for screening will allow pathologists to spend more time and energy on their research

    This tool is very helpful for quality assurance in that it enables the pathologist to re-look at areas that they did not annotate originally, but that the AI algorithm did, and determine if there are additional areas of interest that require their attention
