What RedBrick AI does

RedBrick AI's mission is to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in radiology by building world-class software infrastructure. Currently, we are focused on helping radiology AI teams prepare high-quality datasets to train their algorithms. Radiology data, such as CT and X-ray scans, is an incredibly important source of truth in healthcare delivery. In fact, over 90% of all healthcare data is medical imagery! However, the global radiology workforce is overburdened. In the UK, for example, only 2% of radiology departments are able to fulfill their reporting requirements, and this trend is reflected worldwide. The acute state of radiology, coupled with the abundance of data, makes the use of AI in radiology a prime candidate. In 2022, $5.6 billion was invested in the development of AI in healthcare! However, a key hindrance to further adoption is the lack of sophisticated tools to build and deploy AI algorithms in clinical environments. This is the problem we’re focused on at RedBrick AI We're a team based out of Bangalore India, and USA. We're backed by leading institutional investors like Y Combinator and Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India).

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Rapid medical data annotation

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

We build software that helps radiology teams prepare annotated medical imaging datasets quickly and accurately. Our platform reduces the manual effort involved in labeling CT and X-ray scans so AI models can be trained and deployed in clinical environments.

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

We're based in Claymont, Delaware, USA, and Bangalore, India. After YC, we would likely maintain both locations to leverage global talent and customer access.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose these locations to balance proximity to healthcare and AI innovation in the US with engineering talent and cost efficiencies in India. This dual presence helps us build and support our platform effectively.
