PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nines debuts as the first-of-its-kind teleradiology practice that combines top quality radiologists and world-class engineering to deliver high-quality diagnostics and priority-driven patient care decisions.

“We have a fundamental belief that radiology reimagined with modern data science can significantly improve the lives of patients and clinicians alike,” said co-founder and CEO David Stavens. “We’re working to pioneer new approaches and innovations from clinical care, engineering and data science. Radiologists at Nines are care providers, innovators, builders, and thought leaders. Our radiologists provide the best patient care, while also working with our engineers to build the future.”

Stavens co-founded Nines with Dr. Alexander Kagen, Site Chair of Diagnostic, Molecular and Interventional Radiology at Mount Sinai West and Mount Sinai St. Luke’s hospitals in New York City.

“Radiology exams are becoming ever more detailed and complex with advancements in imaging technology, which in turn increases the workload on radiologists,” said Dr. Kagen, who will serve as Chief Medical Officer for Nines in addition to his role at Mount Sinai. “Radiologists need to be at the forefront of reimagining the future of medicine. Nines is a place where radiologists are empowered to build technology that unlocks the next level of patient care.”

Nines also announces today that it has received $16.5 million in Series A funding from leading VC firms Accel and 8VC, as well as prominent individuals like Lori Goler, former Deutsche Bank COO Kim Hammonds, and Veritas founder and former CEO Mark Leslie, among others.

Nines has collaborated with top institutions and radiologists, including the Mount Sinai Health System, among others, to develop a service and technology that’s designed to let radiologists focus their efforts where they can make the biggest impact on patient outcomes.

“Nines is a prime example of how Mount Sinai innovators, such as Dr. Kagen, and Mount Sinai Innovation Partners, advance commercially relevant opportunities to benefit patients,” said Erik Lium, Executive Vice President, Mount Sinai Innovation Partners, the commercialization engine of the Mount Sinai Health System. “We are pleased to partner with Nines to develop new techniques to triage critical radiology cases within our Health System and beyond.”
