Owkin's MSIntuit CRC wins Best Medical Technology Prix Galien Award

Owkin wins the Prix Galien Award in the category of Best Medical Technology for their product, MSIntuit® CRC. This prestigious honor recognizes Owkin’s commitment to innovation and excellence in healthcare.

MSIntuit® CRC is a testament to the power of artificial intelligence in transforming healthcare. It is the first and only CE-marked AI diagnostic for MSI testing in colorectal cancer from digital H&E slides. 

As the demand for MSI screening increases, pathologists and labs are facing bottlenecks and resource pressures. MSIntuit® CRC aims to streamline this biomarker testing, decrease workload and turnaround time, and preserve tissue material and resources.

MSIntuit® CRC is a medical device for use by healthcare professionals only. This deep learning software is intended to assist pathologists in the pre-selection of patients with microsatellite phenotype (MSS) / proficient mismatch repair system (pMMR) in colorectal tumors. It identifies MSS patients from a digitized histology slide image of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained colorectal tissue resection for patients with primary colorectal cancer. MSIntuit® CRC is intended to be used as an additional source of information for the pathologist when assessing MSS status and its results should not be used as the primary diagnosis. Pathologists should only use MSIntuit CRC in conjunction with their usual diagnostic criteria. MSIntuit ® CRC is CE-IVD marked for diagnostic use. The device is not FDA cleared nor approved in the United States, for use only in countries with applicable health authority registrations. Please contact Owkin to know where the product is registered and commercialized.
