IBM Watson Health's Imaging group will initially distribute the MedyMatch brain bleed detection application through its vendor neutral sales channels.

The firms will then develop interoperability between MedyMatch's application and IBM Watson Health Imaging's offerings.

MedyMatch chairman and chief executive officer Gene Saragnese said: "Engaging closely with IBM allows for a near-zero footprint implementation at a customer location delivering AI to the bedside where I believe the future of healthcare lies.

"At MedyMatch, we believe improvements in the interpretation of data will lead to better decisions, better decisions will lead to better outcomes for patients and lower cost for healthcare."
