Priit Salumaa is the founder and CEO of Better Medicine, which builds AI that finds cancers hiding in CT scans taken for any other reason. Its BMVision Kidney is the world’s first EU MDR-certified AI for kidney cancer detection; in six months at a university hospital, it found four patients whose tumours had been missed. The company is now extending it to the whole abdomen, with a liver model trained and pancreas and lymph node models in development.

Priit has been building software and companies for 25 years. He co-founded Accuro and Mooncascade, the product studio behind products for companies like Wise and Bolt, and helped start some of Estonia’s best-known community initiatives: Latitude59, the Garage48 hackathons and the Solaride solar-car project. When the pandemic hit, he turned to medicine and founded Better Medicine with a team set on building intelligent tools that help doctors take better care of cancer patients.
