# CarbGeM Inc.

**Driving Innovation in Life Sciences with AI & Digital Transformation (DX)**

CarbGeM Inc. is a pioneering biotechnology venture integrating **AI, digital transformation (DX), and biology** to address key challenges across the life sciences industry. Our mission is to standardize, automate, and enhance the efficiency of medical diagnostics and research through our cloud-based platform, **CarbConnect®**.

## 🔬 Our Platform: CarbConnect®

CarbConnect is a cloud-based AI analysis platform designed for hospitals, research institutions, and laboratories. It facilitates real-time image analysis, remote collaboration, and secure data management for hematology and microbiology.

## 🧠 AI Models & Applications

We develop specialized AI models for medical image analysis, available via the CarbConnect platform. Many of our tools are designated for **Research Use Only (RUO)**.

### 🩸 Hematology
*   **BM Smear AI 1.0**: A deep learning tool utilizing Faster R-CNN to automate the detection and classification of bone marrow cells (e.g., erythroblasts, neutrophils, blasts) from images captured by CellaVision DC-1.
    *   *Metrics*: Achieves an F1 score of 0.755.
    *   *Collaboration*: Developed with Kyoto University Hospital.

### 🧫 Microbiology
*   **BiTTE® lite / iE**: AI-powered microbial analysis for classifying Gram-stained microorganisms into 7 categories (GNR, GNC, GPR, GPC, Yeast, etc.).
*   **Nugent Score AI 1.0**: Automated evaluation of Nugent scores from Gram-stained vaginal smears to assist in bacterial vaginosis research.
    *   *Performance*: Deep learning models demonstrated up to 94% accuracy in predicting Nugent scores.
*   **ZOI Series (Zone of Inhibition)**:
    *   **ZOI 1.0**: Automates the measurement of inhibition zones on Petri dishes.
    *   **ZOI Pro**: Advanced AI for high-throughput labs with CLSI M100-Ed34 SIR interpretation.
    *   **ZOI VET**: Veterinary-specific solution complying with CLSI VET01S ED7 standards for animal health.
*   **Colony Counter**: Automated counting of bacterial colonies on agar plates for QC and food safety.

## 📚 Research & Whitepapers
We actively publish research on the application of AI in resource-limited settings and diagnostic workflows:
*   *Revolutionizing Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing: How AI and Automation Improve Zone of Inhibition Analysis*
*   *Generative AI & LLMs: Transforming Microbial Image Analysis*
*   *AI-Powered Gram Stain Image Analysis for Microbial Classification*

## 🤝 Partnerships
Our solutions are developed in collaboration with leading institutions, including:
*   **Kobe University**
*   **National Center for Global Health and Medicine (NCGM)**
*   **Kyoto University Hospital**
*   **Kameda Medical Center**
