Aurora Tele-Oncology is a Hong Kong telemedicine start-up specializing in remote consultation in the area of oncology. Co-founded by Prof Tony Mok, Aurora now engaged over 50 oncologists and healthcare professionals, aiming at providing consultation services to support cancer patients remotely, especially during the pandemic situation.

Aurora deployed AI to categorize a series of patients’ reports and summarize patient data for oncologists to review. An ongoing pipeline is under development on AI-assisted image analysis on tumor assessment. On top of teleconsultations, experts from different regions participate in multi-disciplinary teams further refine the optimal treatment for patients in local institutions. Sensitive data were stored in a dedicated cloud in either an encrypted or unidentified manner to comply with regulations. The platform was launched in collaboration with UMP Healthcare Group in Greater Bay Area in Aug 2020.
