Mumbai: Vara, a German medical technology company focused on breast cancer screening and detection, has announced its expansion to India. With a mission to improve the lives of women and their families through early detection of breast cancer, Vara will roll out its data-driven breast cancer screening solution with first screening centers in Mumbai through its partnership with Suburban Diagnostics and NM Medical. Through these partnerships, Vara will offer screenings at affordable prices and raise awareness about the importance of breast cancer prevention and early detection.
Vara’s technology combines AI with digital mammography to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages. By using machine learning algorithms to analyse images and identify earliest signs of potential abnormalities, Vara’s technology can improve the accuracy of breast cancer screening while reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies.
Jonas Muff, Founder and CEO, Vara said, “It is alarming that for every two women diagnosed with breast cancer in India, one dies from it1. When detected early, breast cancer has a 97 per cent survival rate. India is where Vara is needed the most and we are thrilled to bring Vara to India and help more women get access to life-saving breast cancer screenings. Our goal is to make screening accessible for all women in India regardless of their location or economic status through a nationwide network of Vara enabled radiology centers.”
