Our co-founder Alexandre Le Bouthillier wanted to turn his personal loss to cancer into something positive. He founded Imagia with his long-time friend Nicolas Chapados by combining their extensive knowledge of AI and optimization, learned in their previous successful venture, to improve the future of medicine.
The pair, in collaboration with Professor Yoshua Bengio, the world-renowned co-father of deep learning, recruited a team of entrepreneurs, research scientists, developers, and clinical experts. They began exploring applications in computer vision and the quantitative mapping of clinical information to bring the power of deep learning to digitized health data and the company Imagia was born.
