“Together, we’re just better”: How Aidoc is advancing clinical AI to support physicians
At Calcalist’s AI Conference 2025, Michael Braginsky, Co-Founder and CTO of Aidoc, spoke to CTech about how a $150 million raise is fueling the expansion of its clinical AI technology and why he believes it will augment, not replace, the work of radiologists and physicians.

“We're there to help that physician make the best decision possible… and we're doing so for dozens of millions of patients every year,” said Michael Braginsky, Co-Founder & CTO of Aidoc, which develops clinical AI.
Speaking to CTech at Calcalist’s AI Conference 2025, Braginsky explained that Aidoc is “a set of products that help physicians, doctors make clinical decisions faster, better for their patients.”
The company recently announced a $150 million raise, a milestone Braginsky said will be instrumental in accelerating Aidoc’s growth and allowing it to expand its coverage across many more diseases. “Until today, we've been using a technology that… helped us cover diseases quite fast, but… it was eventually very slow. We covered approximately one disease every few months, and there are thousands of diseases that the physicians treat.”
He continued: “With this new technology that we started developing two years ago… we're going to move on dozens of diseases every year, and this is highly exciting.”
Braginsky also noted that with the new funding, Aidoc is aiming to tap into the potential for new medical discoveries, leveraging the capability of clinical AI that “thinks differently than physicians do.”
“We believe, and we hope that we'll be able to discover… new ways to look at different diseases,” he said. “There is a good chance we'll be able to tell more about each disease, which is basically extending medical knowledge.”
When it comes to concerns that AI could replace radiologists or physicians, Braginsky stressed the opposite, depicting a positive outlook on the future of physician-AI collaboration. “I think where it's going is towards more and more augmentation, helping physicians mak[e] better decisions instead of replacing them… Eventually, it's the combination of human and AI.”
“We are not better than a radiologist, and a radiologist is not better than us. Together, we're just better.”
