Azra AI has announced enhancements to its oncology platform, which will be showcased at the upcoming Association of Cancer Executives (ACE) Annual Meeting and ViVE healthcare event. The platform aims to support personalized cancer treatment plans, streamline care coordination, and provide actionable insights into oncology service line performance.
Automation Needed in Oncology Workflows
“With cancer rates on the rise, health systems face mounting pressure to move beyond inefficient, manual processes,” says John Marshall, CEO of Azra AI. “Our platform addresses these challenges by equipping oncology teams with advanced technology that automates critical oncology workflows throughout the entire oncology service line—all while eliminating the complexity and inefficiencies of fragmented point solutions. Ultimately, we empower care teams to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional, patient-centered care.”
The platform incorporates advanced AI models trained on over 100 million pathology and radiology reports through a partnership with a major U.S. health system. Pathology AI models identify newly diagnosed cancer patients by primary site, stage, tumor markers, and other clinical characteristics, while Radiology AI models detect high-risk findings across various cancer types, ensuring necessary follow-up care.
Supporting Oncology Data Integration
Key workflow automation modules streamline preparation and data collection for multidisciplinary meetings, track patient care and prioritize outreach, and automate case finding while integrating data into registry databases. The latest release features enhancements to these modules and introduces a new analytics module, Azra IQ, which provides customizable dashboards for insights into patient volumes, referral patterns, and barriers to care.
“Oncology service lines need proven technology to run smoothly. Dealing with multiple vendors to piece together that technology is a headache for IT and a pain for users—it just doesn’t work long-term,” says Marshall. “That kind of patchwork approach is messy, expensive, and risky. At Azra, we built a single platform that takes care of it all, and that’s a big reason why we’re seeing so much success and healthcare organizations are seeing greater positive impact.”
