| # 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** |
