Why AIxMed?
The promise of AI and machine learning to transform healthcare is great and unfulfilled.
Our founding team saw this from both sides: Samuel Chen from the tech side as an AI expert and executive for ASUS and Compal, and TJ Liu from the medical side as a trained physician and serial medtech entrepreneur.
We realized that, for AI to impact healthcare, it had to offer intuitive tools to not only simplify clinical workflows, but also reduce care burden and improve outcomes.
We founded AIxMed to build just such tools. We begin with a computational platform that helps pathologists visualize and discover insights for cell samples in seconds.
