Aidoc expands sales team after gaining FDA clearance for AI system

Aidoc, a Tel-Aviv, Israel-based medical imaging company, announced back in August that it had gained FDA clearance for a new solution that helps radiologists triage patients using artificial intelligence (AI). Now, to meet an increase in customer demand as a result of that announcement, the company has hired Tom Shearer to manage sales in North America and Jeremy De Sy to handle sales throughout Europe.

“AI isn't the future for medical imaging; it's the present,” Shearer said in a prepared statement. “Aidoc is led by extraordinary individuals who have developed a revolutionary product. This solution is always running in the background, on every exam, filling a critical need in medical imaging by helping radiologists manage their increasing workload while maintaining high standards.”

“Aidoc's flagging and triage system integrates right into the radiology workflow offering a time-saving solution with a seamless user experience,” De Sy said in the same statement.

Shearer previously served as the COO at Epsilon Imaging and worked for Vital Images for 16 years. De Sy, meanwhile, previously served at both Swisslog Healthcare and Carestream.

“I am excited to have such strong players join the growing Aidoc team,” Elad Walach, the company’s CEO, said in the statement. “We pride ourselves in our relationship with our customers, so it's imperative that we  expand our team to meet market demand with proven talented professionals.”
