IQ-UIP™ is state-of-the-art software powered by deep learning, designed to accurately classify Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) and predict patient survival directly from inspiratory CT scans. Achieving expert-level performance, IQ-UIP matches the accuracy of seasoned CT readers and was FDA-cleared in 2024, establishing a new standard for pulmonary diagnostics.
FDA 510(k) Cleared, For Investigational Use Only outside of the United States
Delayed Diagnosis: UIP, most frequently associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is notoriously difficult to diagnose. On average, patients consult three or more physicians, undergo multiple CT scans 1,and wait up to two years for a definitive diagnosis losing precious time for treatment.
IQ-UIP harnesses advanced AI to automatically scan chest CTs, reliably identifying UIP patterns and flagging patients for timely specialist referral. This approach enables:
Achieves 90.2% sensitivity and 91.5% specificity in UIP detection, comparable to the results of thoracic radiologist panels.4
Consistent, accurate screening is available across all healthcare environments, including those with limited access to sub specialists.
IQ-UIP redefines pulmonary diagnostics—supporting earlier,more confident UIPidentification and connecting patientswith the expert care they need when every moment matters.
