Artificial intelligence is now the hottest entrepreneurial direction in all areas, including medical care . Recently, we even saw that Baidu completely gave up the attempt to enter the medical field from the Internet, and turned to the direction of artificial intelligence. However, in addition to showing an infinite imagination, artificial intelligence still has a lot of uncertainty.
Here, with reference to the data of CBinsight and crunchbase, 11 medical innovation companies from around the world are organized, including their founders, application directions and investment and financing. These dimensions are also an important dimension for judging a startup.
The gold was $561.2 million - overall, the 11 companies were basically established in the past three years. The current total financing amount is 561.2 million US dollars (about 3.9 billion yuan). Among them, iCarbon dominated the market and topped the list with $200 million.
Multi-field "flowering" - the application of artificial intelligence in medical treatment has greatly exceeded the scope of intelligent diagnosis, including the introduction of deep learning technology in many fields such as genetic testing, new drug research and development, and decision-making.
Throughout the world - through the combing of these 11 companies, the United States has no advantage in artificial intelligence, the 11 companies from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, China, South Korea and so on.
Some people have "runned" - although people still think that the application of artificial intelligence in medical treatment is relatively early, but from the perspective of leading companies, the exploration has been very deep.
In addition to the specific circumstances of each company, this time pay special attention to the institutions that invest in these companies. Entrepreneurs such as Marc Andreessen and Peter Theil, such as Silicon Valley, Mustafa and Demis, as well as Tencent from China and the Central China Concord, listed companies, have already entered the field, and the pace is much faster than we think. .
The threshold for continuing to invest in these 11 companies is already high, but this sort of combing can help us recognize two things: what the top institutions are doing and what else to do. The following are the specific circumstances of each company:
