CARPL was founded in 2021 by Dr. Vidur Mahajan, who has over 12 years of experience in the diagnostics industry. The platform addresses the challenge of integrating multiple AI solutions across different body-part and disease combinations, providing a single user-interface, a single data channel, and a single procurement system. This not only makes picking AI apps easier for healthcare providers but also faster to validate and deploy. The company plans to expand into other sub-specialities like digital pathology, oncology, cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and gastroenterology.
