It boasts scholarly validations with features in eminent scientific journals like Nature. On track for FDA certification, DrAid™ CT Liver Cancer D&T is advancing towards North American market entry, following the first success of DrAid™ Radiology V1 imaging diagnostic line, which received FDA approval in 2022. 

This marks the second time in two years that VinBrain has secured first place at the ASEAN Digital Awards, previously known as the ASEAN ICT Awards. The award acknowledges exceptional organizations, businesses, and individuals who significantly contribute to Southeast Asia's digital landscape with their products, services, and innovations.
