Qure.ai’s commercial lead, Jim Mercadante explains how clinical AI supports detection, workflow, and access worldwide

At Qure.ai, Jim Mercadante’s work centers on bringing artificial intelligence into everyday clinical practice in a way that supports—not disrupts—how care is delivered.

The company’s technology is applied across radiology, emergency medicine, infectious disease, and clinical research, where it analyzes medical imaging such as X-rays and CT scans to help identify potential abnormalities earlier in the workflow. Rather than replacing clinicians, the system is designed to act as a support layer that highlights urgent or high-risk cases so they can be reviewed more quickly.
