Instituto D’Or and RapidAI create research partnership

Dor Institute for Research and TeachingIdor) – a non-profit research organization that aims to promote scientific and technological progress in health care – has announced an agreement with Rapid To collaborate on new research initiatives. RapidAI is an angiography and vascular imaging company, implementing new solutions in clinical decision making and patient flow. The international partnership, through technological innovation, seeks to improve the care of patients recovering from COVID-19.

“RapidAI is pleased to be partnering with such an influential and innovative organization as IDOR,” said Carolina Mayer, Vice President of Clinical Affairs at RapidAI. “During a period of great uncertainty in the medical community around the world, our collaboration should lead to studies capable of providing new solutions to patient care.

The collaborative project will begin with a retrospective study to characterize the occurrence and pattern of neuronal changes related to SARS-CoV-2 infection at different stages of the disease, using imaging biomarkers. Using RapidAI technology to process patient examinations, the project aims to establish clinical and morphological correlates by understanding the impact of Covid-19 in the central nervous system (CNS), while taking into account long-term clinical, cognitive, and imaging changes.

“IDOR’s partnership with RapidAI will be extremely important for elucidating the neurological changes caused by the virus,” said Fernanda Tovar Moll, radiologist, researcher and IDOR president. “We look forward to advancing patient care and pushing the boundaries of data-driven technology with the help of our partners.”

“Our presence in Latin America is based on three pillars: providing access to the best technologies in the world, transforming the treatment of vascular diseases, and developing cooperation with leading institutions in the region. Bringing IDOR and RapidAI together for science would be very innovative, said Renato Cunha, Vice President of Sales and LATAM Operations at RapidAI.
