Subtle Medical Named to the 2023 CB Insights AI 100 List of Most Innovative Artificial Intelligence Startups

The company is recognized for their software solutions using AI for faster, safer, and smarter medical imaging

Menlo Park, CA, June 21, 2023 – CB Insights named Subtle Medical to its seventh annual AI 100 ranking, showcasing the 100 most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world.

Subtle Medical was founded by a Neuroradiologist and deep learning experts from Stanford University. Subtle Medical has leveraged this pedigree to create best-in-class software solutions using proprietary deep learning algorithms that enable more efficient imaging with up to 60% faster PET and MRI scan times, while simultaneously providing a much better experience for patients. The software solutions, SubtleMR™ and SubtlePET™, are deployed across hundreds of scanners worldwide, and the team has several other innovative solutions in their product pipeline.

“This year’s AI 100 cohort are developing game-changing innovations that meaningfully impact the world around them,” said Brian Lee, SVP of CB Insights’ Intelligence Unit. “From healthcare to climate tech, we’ve seen incredibly novel applications of AI, particularly in the generative AI space. Our winners are shaping the future of AI and its possibilities, and as the future unfolds, I cannot wait to see what they accomplish next.”

“Subtle Medical is honored to be recognized as a leader in the Generative AI space,” says Enhao Gong, co-founder and CEO. “Our deep learning software is transforming the radiology industry for patients and the institutions that serve them by enabling faster, safer, and smarter medical imaging.  We’re thrilled to be among this impressive list of AI companies.”

Utilizing the CB Insights platform, the research team picked these 100 private market vendors from a pool of nearly 9,000 companies, including applicants and nominees. They were chosen based on CB Insights datasets — including R&D activity, proprietary Mosaic scores, business relationships, Yardstiq transcripts, investor profiles, news sentiment analysis, competitive landscape, and team strength — and criteria such as tech novelty and market potential. The research team also reviewed thousands of Analyst Briefings submitted by applicants.
