Pearl, the US-based dental software provider spun off from machine learning technology provider GumGum, has secured $11m in series A funding, VentureBeat has reported.
The cash was provided by venture capital firm Craft Ventures and several undisclosed strategic partners from the dental industry.
Founded in 2019, Pearl has developed artificial intelligence-powered dentistry tools including Second Opinion, a computer vision platform that is designed to identify common pathologies in x-rays.
The company also provides software that is used to analyse the data sourced from Second Option as well as a machine learning-based tool for margin marketing and a dental laboratory product that automatically scores each patient’s scan.
Pearl CEO Ophir Tanz told VentureBeat: “It (Pearl) will streamline tedious, repetitive tasks, enhance profitability across dentistry and, most importantly, it will improve the standard of care by validating diagnoses, removing large elements of uncertainty from the dental equation.”
