Why This Matters

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women worldwide, and most women diagnosed have no family history of the disease. Early identification of women at higher risk is critical because it allows healthcare providers to recommend more personalized screening and prevention strategies. By applying AI directly to a woman’s routine mammogram, CLAIRITY BREAST can provide risk information that is more precise and equitable than traditional models, helping ensure that every woman gets the right care at the right time.

Dr. Lehman founded Clairity in 2020 to transform breast cancer care by shifting the focus from reactive diagnosis to proactive prevention. Earlier this year, Clairity achieved a major milestone when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted De Novo authorization to CLAIRITY BREAST, the first FDA-authorized platform to predict five-year breast cancer risk from a routine screening mammogram.

“This honor reflects the collective effort of scientists, clinicians, and innovators applying AI to serve humanity — and, in this case, to confront the global challenge of breast cancer,” said Dr. Lehman. “Traditional risk models have been limited by the data and populations on which they were built. With CLAIRITY BREAST, we’re ensuring every woman, regardless of race or ethnicity, can receive risk information that is both accurate and equitable. Bringing this technology into healthcare systems this year is a critical step toward truly personalized and preventive care.”

Internationally recognized as a leader in breast imaging and cancer risk assessment, Dr. Lehman has authored more than 300 peer-reviewed publications spanning computer-aided diagnosis, deep learning, risk modeling, and advancements in breast cancer screening and diagnosis. She is Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School and a Breast Imaging Specialist at Mass General Brigham.
