Perimeter Selected for INOVAIT Pilot Fund to Advance AI for Breast Cancer Surgery

Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. has received a contribution from the INOVAIT Pilot Fund to enhance the AI capabilities of its flagship product, Claire™, an AI-enabled imaging device for breast cancer surgery.
Claire™ received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this year, becoming the first of its kind for intraoperative imaging during breast cancer surgeries.
The project aims to advance AI-driven intraoperative imaging to reduce the need for follow-up surgeries, which occur in about 25% of cases undergoing breast-conserving surgery.
It focuses on developing tools to minimize the manual work required to label data for AI model training, improving AI performance across different tissue types, creating a two-tiered AI architecture, and optimizing the system for operating room environments.
The contributions will amount to nearly $148,000 from the INOVAIT Pilot Fund and $100,000 from a Mitacs Business Strategy Internship award for graduate student involvement in the project.
The project is being conducted in partnership with the University of Toronto’s Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
