Singapore, 11 December 2020 – Singapore-based Claritas HealthTech Pte. Ltd. (“Claritas”), is pleased to announce that its image enhancement software product for radiology, namely, iRad has been registered with the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore (HSA) as Class A Medical Device.

Claritas is a radiology software company that enables doctors and physicians to make accurate diagnoses and improve their patient lives with enhanced medical image processing and interpretation. In the fields of image enhancement, Machine Vision (MV), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Claritas conducts research and development to develop powerful and effective technologies. Their products ensure cost and time efficiency for patients, on the account of re-testing, insurance and malpractice claims that often result from a misdiagnosis.

Imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnostic process for many patients; however, the impact of diagnostic errors is considerable. With a worldwide annual estimate of 40 million diagnostic errors that involve imaging, medical errors have also resulted in wasteful healthcare spending, ranging from $17 billion to $29 billion annually. In the face of COVID-19, acceleration in healthcare digital transformation has indicated the urgent need for greater efficiency and responsiveness. From identifying cases to determining the diagnosis, more demand will be inevitably placed on radiology departments due to the rapidly changing circumstances in healthcare.

With Claritas HealthTech registered under the Health Sciences Authority Singapore (HSA) as a class A Medical Device Manufacturer, this enables the company to manufacture, import and wholesale medical devices in Singapore. Already established among renowned healthcare research organizations in Singapore and Indonesia, Claritas HealthTech aims to continue their expansion with physician groups and teleradiology practices across Asia, North America, and the United Kingdom. Beyond medical image processing and image enhancement products, Claritas will also be releasing several medical AI tools to help clinicians in rapid and accurate detection of abnormalities.
