What specific problem are you solving?
The WHO stated that in 2022, there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 670 000 deaths globally. Representing the most common cancer in women in 157 countries out of 185.
The incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in different countries are determined by the economic development of the country, environmental factors and the ethnicity of the populace. The differences between incidence and mortality rates for breast cancer is observed when comparing data from developed countries to developing countries. For instance, the developed countries display high incidence and low mortality of breast cancer and comparatively, developing countries display low incidence and high mortality rates.
Despite advances in medicine, breast cancer is diagnosed in the advanced stages in countries with limited resources because early detection, diagnosis, and treatment cannot be efficiently promoted.
The lack of awareness and screening protocols, limited or no access to diagnostic centres in rural areas for early detection, and lower standards of healthcare facilities all contribute to higher mortality rates in developing countries.
There is a global shortage of medical radiologists, and an unequal distribution of these along big cities and rural areas, increasing costs because of demand in big cities, and increasing access inequalities.
Patients living in rural areas across the U.S. (and worldwide) often face any number of barriers to health care overall, including imaging services. For rural areas that do have a medical center, medical facilities often lack imaging equipment and radiologists.
In light of the detrimental impact that the cost of healthcare can have on patients and their families, it is crucial to adopt a strategic approach to coordinated care to ensure improvement of health outcomes and comprehensive treatments. However, fragmentation is a major contributor when it comes to lower-quality care, poorer health outcomes, and higher costs.
According to a study by the AJMC - The American Journal of Managed Care, poor coordination within healthcare raises costs and degrades quality. The challenges in coordinating care across different settings and providers pose significant implications for cancer care, such as lack of continuity or treatment dropouts, treatment approaches due to ineffective care coordination, and breakdowns in physician and patient communication, which are key to ensuring a promising patient journey.
Researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) highlight the potential for cost savings through improved care coordination in cancer care. Failure to do so can increase costs by $25 billion to $45 billion annually, according to Health Affairs. By reducing redundant tests, avoiding treatment delays, and enhancing care transitions, healthcare systems can achieve cost efficiencies while maintaining or improving care quality.
What is your solution?
Mamotest is an AI powered digital solution transforming care delivery by democratizing access to screening & diagnosis while providing an efficient path to treatment.
We solve the global radiologists shortage by connecting healthcare facilities with radiologists worldwide, and by using teleradiology with AI support, radiologists provide efficient remote imaging diagnosis services for breast exams.
Mamotest offers a simple, modular and efficient end-to-end solution that adapts to the needs of all partners and clients by combining service & technology to guarantee a remarkable patient experience.
Our digital platform with flexible API connects to all medical devices such as mammography & US units, ibreast scanners, MRI, TC, etc. and provides a 100% data structured, traceable and secure system to deliver our services:

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our final beneficiaries are women +20 years old
In LATAM, 80% of women don’t have access to preventive breast cancer screening, due to lack of education, equipment, technicians, or radiologists in their geographies. And where they do, costs are prohibiting or depend on long waiting lists.
By leading educational awareness campaigns and connecting our platform to medical devices such as scanners, ultrasound or mammogram, we are promoting an increase in access and also follow up on patients, helping them navigate a challenging healthcare system, by tackling informative, economic and psychological barriers.
79% of risk patients in Mamotest needed psychological or emotional intervention to continue their patient journey. By connecting patients with our medical network to guarantee quality and efficiency, we’re reducing time from screening to treatment in a significant way. But by providing emotional assistance throughout the process and connecting with their friends and family support network, we’re also reducing dropouts, burnouts and psychological breakdowns, increasing their quality of life after treatment.

Describe the core technology that powers your solution.
Our end to end solution involves different technologies that interact with each other in a streamlined workflow, while keeping simplicity, modularity and flexibility as a key aspect. Using a microservices architecture pattern (backend developed in .NET and our frontend developed in Angular Material)that helps modularize all its functionalities, the technology is dedicated to patient monitoring with a strong focus on telediagnosis.
The system easily connects to any medical device such as mammography units, ultrasound, MRI, CT and ibreast exam scanners, to upload and manage DICOM images using AWS Healthimaging, guaranteeing speed and scalability.
Our partnership with AWS has given Mamotest’s team access to training programs, experts, mentors and specialized advisors to continue developing our AI for radiologists support in breast imaging diagnosis, increase security and efficiency. The AI models that support our operation are developed in Python and deployed into production using AWS SageMaker.
The platform is 100% data structured, including the radiologists structured reporting process, which makes the multilanguage, data analysis and evidence generation more efficient.
The technology’s microservice pattern makes it easily integrable with other health systems, using HL7 protocol as a standard.
One of the system's key strengths is its security network. Using cutting-edge AWS technology, perimeter security of the system is one of our utmost priorities.
Delivering a perfect experience for our patients and medical network is very valuable to us, so we provide tools and features for engagement in every phase: open whatsapp channels, patient portal, doctor portal, mailing alerts, reminders and online appointments are used for a 360° online and omnichannel experience.
