Median Technologies: Unveiling Imaging Phenomics

Jeanne Hecht, COO, Median TechnologiesJeanne Hecht, COO
As healthcare science continues to move towards precision medicine, researchers and physicians are eager to maximize the quality and quantity of data through image processing. While the medical world is poised and determined to develop a more accurate way to diagnose cancer, for example, recent statistics have shown that for those patients who are diagnosed with lung cancer, more than 96 percent of those are false positives, creating additional stress on the patient and adding unnecessary cost to the system.

Median Technologies is at the vanguard of imaging phenomics, a technology that breaks down inherently complex medical imaging data patterns and equips radiologists with better information to support their diagnosis and care of patients. “Our mission is to help biopharma and healthcare providers better diagnose, monitor and treat patients with cancer and other debilitating diseases through cutting edge image analysis in clinical trials and healthcare delivery,” says Jeanne Hecht, COO of Median Technologies. The firm is positioned at a crucial juncture in the oncology landscape, providing tech-driven, analytics powered systems to support biopharma companies with drug development and physicians with disease diagnosis and care.

With a vision to extend the advantages of the turnkey image phenomics technology to clinical trials and patient care, Median Technologies engages in the extraction of advanced biomarkers that prepares the ground for new drug development efforts focused on personalized therapies, and treatment. Median Technologies’ Lesion Management Solution (LMS) is a comprehensive software portfolio of clinical applications specifically-designed to transform the identification and management of cancer lesions, dramatically improving patient care and expediting drug development. LMS assists organizations in extracting succinct data from medical imaging and mitigates the challenges of the growing oncology landscape in the areas of drug development and therapies.

By leveraging LMS, Median Technologies recently enabled the regulatory clearance for two cancer drugs for three indications in several countries.

Intended to assist investigational researchers in clinical trials and for diagnostics in patient care, Median Technologies designed the imaging phenomics platform—iBiopsy®.

An abbreviation for imaging biomarker phenotyping system, iBiopsy® is specifically devised to acquire, index, and analyze thousands of phenotypes and establish biological associations with higher precision using Microsoft’s Cloud Computing environment. It combines non-invasive imaging biomarkers and phenomics to determine biological associations that can assist researchers to not only better diagnose disease but to also predict a patient’s response to treatment. Currently in its testing and validation phase, the iBiopsy® platform is geared towards the challenges of lung, prostate and liver disease. In the impending years, the firm envisions to shore up their partner and collaborator base by allowing them to implement the iBiopsy® platform in their organizations.

While the growth of Median Technologies moves uphill, the firm leaves no stone unturned in the conquest of newer technology trends in imaging. The company invests heavily in R&D to drive home this specific objective. With its footprint already spread across Europe, US, Japan, and China, Median Technologies endeavors to expand along the length and breadth of these geographies. The firm has its expansion focus primarily on China to nullify the challenges of radiologist shortages coupled with the lung cancer epidemic, which has gripped the country. Median Technologies also aims to strike strategic partnerships along the way that adds significant value to its expansion strategies and help them better understand patient needs throughout the world.

Median Technologies Partners with a Top 10 Oncology Pharma Company to Apply AI for Imaging Biomarker Discovery

• The partnership’s aim is to identify predictive imaging biomarkers of patient response to a specific drug-candidate, using Imaging Lab’s unique AI capabilities.
• The company is a Top 10 global oncology pharmaceutical company.
• Imaging Lab is a division of iCRO, launched in 2022, that applies Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), radiomics and data mining, to extract insights from clinical trial images.
• Following the agreement with a Top 3 pharmaceutical company announced in May 2024, this partnership highlights Median’s competitive advantage with AI-driven imaging technologies for clinical trials.
SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS - Median Technologies (FR0011049824, ALMDT, PEA/PME scheme eligible, “Median” or “The Company”) announces today it has signed an initial agreement with a Top 10 oncology pharmaceutical company1. The agreement aims at conducting AI-based imaging biomarker2 discovery on the clinical data of a drug candidate. The agreement could lead to a broader collaboration between the pharmaceutical company and Median.
The agreement involves Imaging Lab, a dedicated entity of Median’s iCRO Business Unit. Imaging Lab provides biopharma companies with advanced AI-based decision-making capabilities, leveraging patients’ imaging data to provide specific patient selection, prediction of response to therapy, accurate monitoring of disease progression, and early access to safety and efficacy.
Median will apply its unique expertise, methods, and know-how in AI-based technologies to identify specific digital signatures (imaging biomarkers) from images, providing meaningful information on the drug responder/non-responder status of the patients. The drug-specific imaging biomarkers could ultimately be utilized as companion diagnostics3 to select patients who are most likely to benefit from the drug.
Fredrik Brag, CEO and Founder of Median Technologies, highlighted: “We recently announced the selection of Median as preferred provider to a second global Top 3 pharmaceutical group. We are thrilled to announce today the launch of a collaboration with a global Top 10 pharma to support a drug development program with our AI-driven imaging technologies. Pharmaceutical companies are early adopters of AI in their drug development plans and investment in AI by large pharma is growing at a steady pace, creating very positive momentum for Median as a unique AI technology company in the imaging CRO market. AI is now everywhere in drug development and the AI in clinical trials market is expected to reach $6.55 Billion by 20304. AI-driven imaging technologies applied to clinical trials unveil new insights that could determine the success of oncology trials. Providing insights for ‘Go/No-Go’ decisions at an early stage, or to discover predictive imaging biomarkers of patient response to drug candidates are two of the most compelling outcomes. Imaging AI solutions will become the new generation of companion diagnostics, opening unique opportunities in the era of precision medicine.”
Nicolas Dano, COO & CCO iCRO said: “AI-driven imaging insights are the future in oncology drug development. As a native technology company, Median is the only imaging CRO that has AI know-how and experience, giving us a unique competitive advantage to penetrate the Big Pharma market. We are eager to start the collaboration and provide valuable insights to our new partner, helping them with their drug development plans.”
