Biofy
Genome-based infection diagnosis with AI
Biofy cut time to a treatment recommendation from five days to four hours
Problem
Standard PCR plus antibiogram testing is slow and fails often, which delays the right antibiotic.
Approach
Biofy runs full-genome DNA sequencing and AI models on Oracle Cloud with 32 NVIDIA H100 GPUs to identify bacteria and predict antibiotic resistance. Its Abby engine suggests treatments for clinical workflows.
Results
Takeaway
Biofy used GPU computing to shorten a multi-day lab step to hours. The accuracy figures come from the company and vendor.
