Australian mobile health platform Helfie AI has collaborated with Microsoft to offer licensing of Helfie’s health assessment tools directly through Microsoft Azure Marketplace. Helfie has also been accepted into the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus programme, which is reserved for startups with established product-market fit.

Helfie is an AI-powered mobile platform that allows a range of health conditions to be checked from a smartphone quickly with the support of health professionals. Helfie’s AI mobile platform is developed using clinical datasets. As a result, its health assessment tools claim over 90% accuracy when checking for health conditions. The Company’s suite of products, including Vitals AI, Respiratory AI, STI AI, and Skin AI, use multi-modal AI algorithms to analyse images, videos, and sound recordings.

The collaboration provides Microsoft enterprise customers with the opportunity to gain streamlined access to check for health conditions, and the ability to quickly set up and integrate Helfie’s AI-powered healthcare solutions within existing Microsoft environments. By using Microsoft’s dedicated NDm A100 v4-series GPU cluster in Azure Machine Learning, Helfie has reduced its AI model training time from two weeks to two hours.

“Collaborating with Microsoft has been instrumental in the accelerated development and scaling of our capabilities,” said Nikhil Sehgal, CTO of Helfie AI. “The drastic reduction in model training time has been critical to building faster and getting our product into the hands of users as part of our ambition to democratise access to healthcare through AI-powered mobile checks. The ability for Microsoft customers to license our solution directly through Microsoft Azure Marketplace is a game-changer for large-scale adoption of our technology.”

“Joining the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program is a testament to Helfie AI’s innovation and impact in transforming how we approach health assessments on a global scale,” said Tom Davis, Partner at Microsoft for Startups. “We’re pleased to see Helfie use Microsoft’s cloud and AI capabilities to accelerate their mission and provide our enterprise customers with a powerful, easily accessible tool that empowers individuals to take proactive measures to be better informed about their health.”
