Switchboard, MD Announces ThreatAware: AI-Powered Support for Clinicians Addressing Emerging Health Threats

Published

on

ATLANTA, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Switchboard, MD is announcing the launch of ThreatAware, an advanced solution designed to identify potential infectious disease risks early and enable clinicians to intervene promptly with at-risk patients.

ThreatAware combines advanced natural language processing and machine learning models to analyze patient communications across phone calls, texts, emails, and patient portals. Developed in collaboration with practicing multi-specialty physicians, the solution uses criteria defined by clinicians to identify and prioritize potential disease-specific cases. By aligning the model’s capabilities with the needs outlined by physicians, ThreatAware delivers reliable insights that empower clinical staff to focus on patient needs, enabling faster and more efficient care delivery.

This solution goes beyond immediate identification and classification. The scalable design allows healthcare organizations to quickly adapt to evolving challenges while fostering stronger collaboration with public health agencies. ThreatAware also provides actionable population health insights, equipping clinicians and researchers with the necessary data to make informed decisions and prepare for future health threats.

“Building AI models for infectious disease management can present unique challenges,” said Yuanda Zhu, PhD, Director of Engineering at Switchboard, MD. “The complexity of medical conditions, the need for expertly labeled training data, and the wide variation in how patients describe potential symptoms all require careful consideration. By collaborating with a wide range of clinicians from across the globe, who helped train and validate ThreatAware, we’ve created a system that adapts to real-world scenarios and delivers reliable, actionable insights.”

“Having a flexible and well-integrated system in place is essential for managing emerging health threats,” said Larry J. Anderson, MD, Professor at Emory University School of Medicine and Former Director of CDC’s Division of Viral Diseases in the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “In the case of new outbreaks, symptoms and data points can evolve rapidly, and being able to adapt and analyze those changes quickly is critical to making informed decisions and supporting effective responses.”

By addressing critical challenges in infectious disease management, ThreatAware ensures healthcare organizations can act swiftly to protect patients, reduce strain on resources, and collaborate with public health needs.

This project has been supported in whole or in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services; Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under contract number 75A50124C00016.

Funded by Titanium Ventures, investment will accelerate growth into new markets

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BforeAI, the world’s fastest and most accurate predictive attack intelligence and digital risk protection solution, announced today the company has closed an oversubscribed $10 million Series B round of funding led by Titanium Ventures. This investment round brings the company’s total funding to over $30 million and will accelerate market expansion in the utilities, pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors as the company continues to enhance its PreCrime™ platform, expand sales resources, and strengthen partnerships.

“This investment round will enable us to continue our important work to predict and stop new types of attacks before businesses and their customers are harmed,” said Luigi Lenguito, CEO and Founder at BforeAI. “We did not need the additional funding as we closed Series A with SYN Ventures less than 6 months ago. We wanted to work with Titanium Ventures to accelerate our growth into new industry sectors where we have already seen recent success and further increase the scalability of our predictions.”

“BforeAI offers a unique solution in a crowded cybersecurity market, being able to predict, disrupt and stop a cybersecurity event before it happens, putting the customer ahead of the attacker and out of their reactive response mode,” said Marcus Bartram, General Partner at Titanium Ventures. “Titanium thinks that this capability is important and relevant to customers globally and are excited to be working with the BforeAI team to build a large and impactful company.”

BforeAI’s mission is to proactively safeguard data, IT/OT networks, digital assets, customers, employees, and brand reputation. Enabling organizations to effectively preempt risks in advance of an attack, the PreCrime platform is powered by behavioral predictive intelligence, monitors 98% of the Internet to stay ahead of cyber threats by 18 days on average, and has a false positive rate of a mere 0.05%.

Over the past year, BforeAI grew substantially and achieved key milestones, including launching the PreCrime Guarantee and its breach protection pledge in partnership with the leading global cyber insurance provider. The PreCrime Guarantee reimburses customers up to ten times the value of their service contract if impacted by a cyberattack due to a failure by BforeAI’s predictive solution. Most recently, BforeAI was recognized in the 2024 Gartner® Cool Vendors™ for Artificial Intelligence in Banking and Investment Services1. The report serves as a guide to help chief information security officers (CISO), chief information officers (CIO), and chief data officers (CDO) in financial services and cyber fraud fusion centers identify solution partners for quick detection of risks and preemptive action before a fraud attempt even happens.

“BforeAI has quickly proven itself as the leader in predictive security solutions,” said Maria Gotsch, President and CEO, Partnership Fund for New York City. “We were excited to support BforeAI’s relocation of its headquarters to New York following their participation in our FinTech Innovation Lab. By expanding their focus to utilities with this funding round, BforeAI has the potential to play a key role in protecting critical infrastructure in the city and beyond.”

Existing investors SYN Ventures, Karista, and Addendum Capital, recognizing the company’s strong growth trajectory, participated in this round to maintain their ownership stakes.

Stamina Law in New York City, by Jade Ruscev, provided legal counsel to the company for the financing round.
