MIT Scientist Raises Funds to Deploy AI for Dentists.

Overjet, a startup founded by MIT-trained computer scientist Wardah Inam, has raised $53.2 million in funding to develop an AI platform that aids in diagnosing diseases from scans and other data in dentistry. The platform aims to improve the consistency and objectivity of dental care by using AI to analyze X-rays, dentist notes, and periodontal charts. Overjet's technology has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and is currently used by thousands of dental practices in the US and Canada, as well as major dental insurers. The company plans to expand its platform beyond North America. [Extracted from the article]
