About the Project

Violence is a global pandemic.

Our team is dedicated to aiding victims of violence by creating solutions using innovative approaches to capture, analyze, and process images and data about their injuries. Leveraging artificial intelligence and specialized imaging techniques, we strive to provide crucial support to those most in need.

A significant impact of our efforts has focused on helping victims with darker skin tones, whose injuries, such as bruises, may be less visible. Through a combination of artificial intelligence and alternate light sources, we’re able to significantly enhance the detection of their injuries, thereby making a substantial difference in their lives.
