After co-founding the company, AI Metrics' CEO is stepping down.
That CEO, Bob Jacobus, co-founded the company in 2018, which was created to help radiologists deliver faster, more accurate evaluations of advanced cancer patients. After years of development, the company's artificial intelligence-enabled radiology software is doing just that.
In a Q&A with Jacobus in January, he told the BBJ that the most significant thing AI Metrics accomplished in 2022 was successfully making the transition from beta sites and research deployments to clinical patient evaluations, adding that the company was poised to scale significantly.
Jacobus posted he was stepping down in this week on social media and confirmed the news in an email to the BBJ.
"Launch and repeat," the post read. "The time has come for me to step down from leading AI Metrics after co-founding the company four years ago. We have made a significant impact on the lives of cancer patients, enabling their physicians to track disease progression using AI and well-designed tools. It has been an honor to serve those patients, their oncologists and the radiologists performing the evaluations."
Jacobus thanked his co-founders Paige Severino and Dr. Andrew Smith, adding that he is continuing on a quest to launch more companies.
A new CEO has not yet been publicly named.
