With tech for fact-checking to cancer care, Singapore startups aim beyond home
As the Republic turns 61, The Business Times profiles three companies tackling global challenges
As Singapore celebrates its 61st National Day, three startups operating from JTC Corp's LaunchPad @ one-north building are making waves in global challenges. These companies are using home-grown technologies to address issues ranging from verifying information to cancer care. One such company is AI Seer, which was founded in 2019 by Dennis Yap.
Yap's experience in due diligence led him to create AI Seer, which has three products. The first, MSRD, is a contactless polygraph that uses infrared and thermal imaging to detect deception cues. The second, Facticity.AI, is a multimedia fact-checking platform that verifies information by cross-referencing claims against multiple sources.
The third, ArAIstotle, builds on Facticity by performing real-time fact-checks. Yap believes that as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, the need for trustworthy verification tools will only grow. Another startup, ImmunoQs, is tackling the challenges of analyzing cancer tissue images. By building a platform that allows clinicians and pharmaceutical firms to visualize, manage, and analyze large files of ultra-high-resolution scanning technology, ImmunoQs aims to help patients benefit from immunotherapy.
