SigTuple creates Artifical Intelligence (AI)-based solutions to automate healthcare screening. It has built intelligent screening solutions to aid diagnosis through AI-powered analysis of visual medical data.

The start-up also has an AI platform called Manthana, which helps analyse visual medical data efficiently. Manthana has enabled the company to work on five high-volume screening processes - analysis of peripheral blood smears, urine microscopy, semen, fundus and OCT (optical coherence tomography) scans and chest X-rays.
