Non-Japanese speakers welcomed

Function development on backend, API/Web application development and management with PidPort, our software for pathological image diagnosis using deep learning. We are currently building up the development team to prepare for the product launch and recruiting the first core members. The team mainly consists of international group of staff in their 20's and 30's with an open environment.

Why PidPort?
Globally, there is a severe shortage of pathologists; doctors who specialize in visually analyzing samples from the tissues of a patient under a microscope to diagnose diseases and cancers. The turnaround time to obtain diagnostic results can take weeks, which causes tremendous mental stress to the patients and allows time for illnesses to worsen. With our AI-driven product, PidPort, pathologists can now obtain a pathologic diagnosis in approximately 30 seconds with a 98% diagnostic accuracy.
Currently, we are expanding our organization and operations to prepare for the official launch of our product. In the future, we envision PidPort to become the leader in the pathology space for both developed and developing countries.
