About the company

Raidium is building a foundation Model for precision medicine in radiology. Our first release, Curia is already state of the art. We aim to broadly democratize  access to imaging biomarkers for both clinical and research applications through a biomarker factory. Our model is embedded in a new type of solution for the radiologist that enables a revolutionary AI-native workflow. Thanks to a 16M€ seed round raised in November 2024, Raidium is expanding its team.

We are developing a medical device designed to operate at the intersection of deep learning and diagnostic precision. While our Quality Management System (QMS) is already established and operational, we are now entering a critical phase of our growth.
