Cerebra is artificial intelligence software that is designed for fast stroke diagnosis, which takes only 10 minutes. It helps doctors diagnose the disease more accurately and provides an internal ecosystem for data exchange and any-time remote platform access. According to project founder Doszhan Zhussupov, this invitation means the acknowledgment of the work done by the team.
“We were among four winners chosen by Bayer. The next step is a three-month accelerator from Bayer, where we get the opportunity to sign a contract with the corporation. We will be assisted in scaling on the global marketplace and international expertise, in launching pilot products, and in cooperation with Bayer’s partners and customers. The accelerator finalists will be invited to the head office of R&D Bayer in Berlin,” he said.
Founded in 1863, Bayer AG is a German life science company with three divisions – pharmaceuticals, consumer health, and crop science. It is well known for the mass-distribution of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or aspirin.
