Kozhnosys is developing India’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled breath-based diagnostics platform for real-time cancer detection. This technology possesses the potential to address the issues of access, affordability and convenience in breast cancer screening in India. It is uniquely positioned to cater to the cultural complexities faced by traditional modalities and its AI-enabled capability makes it easy to use in absence of trained technicians, thus further widening its reach. Additionally, it possesses the potential to screen multiple diseases, and has more use cases in healthcare, food, and other industries.
