E118 Jaroslav Blaha, CEO at CellmatiQ

Today's guest is Jaroslav Blaha, CEO at CellmatiQ in Berlin. Founded in 2018, CellmatiQ develops an artificial intelligence platform for the automatic detection of relevant structures in medical images (e.g. dental X-rays) to support healthcare professionals in their diagnostics. The technology is equally applicable to industrial problems, like automatic analysis of structural features or anomalies of machine parts from images.

Cephalometric x-ray images are the diagnostic backbone of today’s dental practice; ranging from detection of caries or periodontal diseases via root canal treatments and prosthodontics to maxillofacial oncology. Their first product DentaliQ automates the identification of relevant diagnostic points in x-rays and reduces the analysis time from circa 15 minutes to mere seconds - thereby allowing dentists to focus more on their diagnostics and treatment plans.
