Volpara Health Technologies (“Volpara,” “the Group,” or “the Company”; ASX:VHT), a global health technology software leader providing an integrated platform for personalised breast care, today announced that it has commenced a collaboration with Ohio-based Riverain Technologies as part of an expansion plan into the lung cancer screening market.

Volpara Lung software—an advanced, integrated, and adaptable reporting, tracking, and risk assessment solution for lung cancer screening—enables patient management from scheduling to diagnosis. The software offers structured reporting, customisable reminders, and more than 40 statistical reports to monitor and track patients—critical for outreach to patients overdue for their screening or follow-up exams. Volpara Lung automatically collects and validates all the required data elements for successful submission to the American College of Radiology Lung Cancer Screening Registry^® for reimbursement.

Riverain Technologies offers ClearRead™ solutions that provide intelligent, enterprise-wide, standard-of-care AI tools for early, efficient detection of lung nodules. Their ClearRead suite significantly improves a clinician’s ability to accurately and efficiently detect disease using patented suppression technology in thoracic CT and X-ray images—for earlier, more efficient detection of lung abnormalities.

“The updated guidelines for CT lung cancer screening recently released by the US Preventive Services Task Force were an important step to improve eligibility and access to screening,” said Mark Koeniguer, Chief Commercial Officer of Riverain Technologies. “However, with a larger patient population, the guidelines also increase the need to track patients over time to ensure that they receive screening and follow-up exams in a timely manner. Volpara Lung software builds on our ability to help clinicians efficiently detect lung nodules and track patients throughout the screening and diagnostic process.”

Ralph Highnam, PhD, Group CEO of Volpara, said: “Riverain’s robust AI solution is a tremendous complement to our lung reporting and tracking capabilities. We are pleased to collaborate with them to improve access to accurate and efficient lung nodule detection among our Volpara Lung users, particularly across the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN), where we both provide services for a number of these sites.”
