In a groundbreaking development for women’s healthcare, Clairity, a digital health innovator, has received FDA authorization for an artificial intelligence platform that can predict breast cancer risk with unprecedented precision. Their new technology, CLAIRITY BREAST, represents a massive leap forward in early detection and personalized medicine.

The platform uses advanced AI to analyze screening mammograms and identify subtle imaging features that correlate with future cancer risk – a capability that traditional risk assessment models have struggled to achieve. What makes this technology particularly revolutionary is its ability to provide insights for women who might otherwise slip through the diagnostic cracks.

Currently, most breast cancer risk models rely heavily on age and family history. However, 85% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history, and nearly half have no identifiable risk factors. Traditional models, often built using data from predominantly European Caucasian women, have also failed to generalize effectively across diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.

CLAIRITY BREAST changes this paradigm by analyzing mammogram images at the pixel level, trained on millions of images and validated across more than 77,000 mammograms from diverse screening centers. The AI can uncover patterns invisible to human eyes, potentially identifying cancer risks before they become detectable through conventional methods.

Dr. Connie Lehman, the founder of Clairity and a breast imaging specialist, emphasizes that this technology goes beyond traditional screening. “By delivering validated, equitable risk assessments, we can help expand access to life-saving early detection and prevention for women everywhere,” she explains.

The technology’s potential impact is significant. With over 2.3 million new breast cancer cases diagnosed worldwide annually, and over 370,000 cases in the United States alone, CLAIRITY BREAST could be a game-changer in proactive healthcare.

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, innovations like CLAIRITY BREAST demonstrate how technology can transform medical diagnostics, offering more personalized, precise, and potentially life-saving insights.
