AI has the potential to transform healthcare and is particularly needed at this time when our services are under increasing strain. However, it has yet to be really implemented and tested and it is difficult to understand how any given product is going to perform in practice - but the impact of getting it wrong is too high to take chances. Aival provides scalable software for non-technical clinicians and decision-makers to be able to independently and thoroughly evaluate commercial AI products. Join us in our mission to accelerate the adoption of safe and effective AI! Any open positions are listed here, but please use the Contact form for speculative enquiries.
