What Klarismo does

Fully-automated Quantitative MR Image Analysis. Our software converts a user’s full body magnetic resonance scan (MRI) into a 3D virtual model of their body in the cloud. The model is annotated with explanatory information so they can easily explore and learn about different parts of their body. Klarismo is the only provider of MR analytics that can offer truly scalable analysis for large data collections. Cloud-based processing allows 1000s of acquisitions to be analyzed simultaneously. Machine learning techniques utilize Klarismo’s proprietary collection of labelled MRI data and eliminate the need for manual processing to produce precise volumetric measurements. Klarismo specializes in the detailed analysis of body composition, including volumetric measurements of different muscle and fat tissues, from whole-body acquisitions.

Quantitative body MRI analysis in 3D

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make software that converts full-body MRI scans into interactive 3D virtual models. Our system automatically analyzes these scans in the cloud to produce detailed volumetric measurements of muscle and fat tissues without manual work. This helps doctors and researchers understand body composition from large MRI datasets.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

I live in San Francisco, and the company is based here now and would remain here after YC.
