Enlitic, a San Francisco-based medical startup, and Capitol Health, a medical diagnostic imaging company in Australia, have announced a partnership that includes deep learning-supported medical diagnostics for radiologists and healthcare providers. Deep learning, or deep machine learning, is a type of artificial intelligence based on advanced algorithms.

Capitol Health is also leading a $10 million Series B investment round in Enlitic, helping the company ramp up production of its tools and continue work on other projects.

"Enlitic will forever change the way radiology and all of medicine is practiced," Anthony Upton, Capitol Health clinical director, said in a statement. "In the urban setting, it will improve accuracy and efficiency to deliver optimum patient outcomes. Globally, it will deliver healthcare to populations that have none."

Jeremy Howard, Enlitic founder and CEO, is an expert in deep learning.

"The vast digitization of medical information — from images to lab tests to patient histories — along with recent breakthroughs in deep learning, has created by far the biggest opportunity that I have seen in more than 20 years in the field," Howard said in the same statement. "Enlitic's new partnership with Capitol allows us to start realizing the vast potential of deep learning in healthcare on a global scale."
