In early April 2025, the International Telecommunication Union, in collaboration with Akbank LAB, hosted AI for Good Innovation Factory Türkiye. This leading UN-based startup pitching and acceleration platform accelerates startups with AI-driven solutions to address global challenges, as demonstrated by the four Turkish innovators featured in this session.
Following a dynamic round of presentations with five AI and innovation experts from private sector and academia, Viseur AI, won the first spot with its innovative AI solutions that supports transformation in the healthcare sector and aims to improve the quality of life of patients. The unique value propositions of the startup lie in their ability to integrate advanced machine learning and deep learning techniques into healthcare workflows, enabling faster and more accurate diagnoses while optimizing operational efficiency.
Mr. Serkan Sökmen, CEO and co-founder of Viseur AI, experienced firsthand the significant inefficiencies within Turkish healthcare, including excessive workloads, delayed diagnoses, limited data access, and complex AI integration. In 2024, he co-founded Viseur AI, a software company that develops an innovative SaaS platform with the core aim of enhancing patient quality of life by directly addressing these challenges to improve efficiency and enable earlier, more accurate diagnoses.
The company delivers targeted solutions designed to enhance the offerings of AI companies and empowers healthcare professionals to create their own AI products in fields like radiology, oncology, and digital pathology. These tools are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing business environments.
“Viseur AI is positioned as a leader in driving a new era in medical diagnostics, ensuring that groundbreaking innovations translate into tangible improvements in healthcare outcomes.” Mr. Serkan Sökmen.
The startup’s primary objective is to streamline the development of AI-based medical imaging software products while strictly adhering to institutional data security standards. The platform ensures seamless integration with international data standards like DICOM and HL7, and its compliance with stringent information security (ISO 27001) and medical device quality management standards (ISO 13485) makes it a suitable choice for highly regulated settings. This platform represents a significant technological advancement and embodies a commitment to a future where AI-assisted diagnostics empower healthcare professionals globally, reduce costs, and ultimately save lives.
Originating in Ankara, Türkiye, Viseur AI has leveraged the city’s innovative spirit and the company’s dedication to technological advancement to shape its vision. Having established a strong foundation in Türkiye by providing AI solutions in medical imaging to healthcare institutions, hospitals, imaging centers, and modality device companies, Viseur AI is now focusing on expanding its reach globally. The robust infrastructure established in Türkiye provides a strong foundation for this international expansion, with the company continuously enhancing its technology and team to meet international standards.
“By implementing Viseur AI, healthcare professionals can achieve greater efficiency, leading to earlier and more accurate disease diagnoses through the rapid and accurate analysis of patient data. Furthermore, Viseur AI seamlessly integrates with existing clinical workflows (HIS, RIS, LIS, PACS, PIS), which helps optimize professionals’ time and enabe the faster initiation of patient treatment” Mr. Serkan Sökmen mentioned.
Like many AI startups, Viseur AI faces challenges such as balancing rapid innovation with robust global solutions, adapting to evolving regulations and data privacy, ensuring seamless system integration, and building trust in AI diagnostics. Attracting and retaining top AI talent and managing the computational costs of AI model training and deployment are also significant considerations. However, Viseur AI views these challenges as opportunities for strategic growth and innovation that push them to prioritize compliance, partnerships, and user-friendly interfaces to build trust and enhance accessibility.
Viseur AI’s decision to join the AI for Good Innovation Factory stems from a strong belief in its potential to address critical global healthcare challenges with AI-powered solutions, particularly in early diagnosis and workflow optimization. The mission of the startup, namely, to enhance healthcare speed, accuracy, and accessibility, objectives, align with the AI for Good initiative’s focus on human welfare. Mr. Serkan Sökmen highlighted that participation in the AI for Good Innovation Factory offers Viseur AI a valuable opportunity to showcase its technology globally and expand its impact on healthcare.
The achievement of Viseur AI during the session secured its representation of Türkiye at the Innovation Factory Grand Finale during the AI for Good Global Summit 2025 to compete with the other winners from qualifying tournaments worldwide.
