What we do

Better breast cancer screening should be a universal offering to every woman in the world.

Vara's AI-powered screening platform (EHR + reporting software + AI tools), created in collaboration with the German screening programme, allows for high quality and affordable early detection of breast cancer on a population basis.

We're making breast cancer screening more effective, more measurable, and more accessible for everyone, everywhere by building screening programmes in countries where screening is not existent today.

By democratizing access to early screening around the world, we deliver measurable impact backed by clinical evidence.

We are partnering globally with healthcare institutions (such as hospitals or radiology centers), to deliver breast cancer screening where it is needed most.

Current markets include Germany, Mexico, India and Egypt.

As the first company from Europe's leading AI venture studio Merantix, Vara has grown since 2018 to become a 50-member international team.

Our diverse team consists of highly motivated and ambitious entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, and technology experts.
