Executive Brief
InsightRT is a Hong Kong-based AI healthcare venture specializing in the automated diagnosis and monitoring of radiotherapy-induced side effects, specifically Radiation Dermatitis (RD). Their flagship product, RD-Vision, utilizes deep learning and fractal analysis to grade skin damage and predict patient prognosis. While currently software-centric, InsightRT’s roadmap involves expanding into broader oncological diagnostics and dermatological health monitoring.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 52 (40-59: General Research / Engineering)
Why this Score? InsightRT is primarily a software/AI company, which typically falls outside the direct "diamond user" category. However, they operate in the Radiotherapy domain, where Diamond (specifically SCD and PCD) is the global gold standard for radiation dosimetry and detection due to its "tissue-equivalence" and radiation hardness. As InsightRT scales from post-treatment diagnosis to real-time clinical monitoring, 6C's material technology can provide the hardware substrate to turn their "AI software" into a "vertically integrated diagnostic hardware" solution.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Tissue-Equivalent Dosimetry | SCD (Single Crystal) Detectors | Diamond has an atomic number (Z=6) close to human tissue (Z=7.4). 6C SCD can provide real-time, high-spatial-resolution radiation dose maps, giving InsightRT's AI actual "ground truth" dose data to correlate with skin damage. |
| Thermal Management for LINACs | PCD (Polycrystalline) Heat Spreaders | Radiotherapy machines (Linear Accelerators) rely on high-power RF sources. 6C PCD heat spreaders (Thermal conductivity >2000 W/mK) prevent thermal frequency drift, ensuring more stable beam delivery and fewer "over-exposure" errors. |
| Radiative-Hard Optical Windows | Optical Grade PCD Wafers | For future products involving deep-UV or high-intensity imaging near the radiation source, 6C provides ultra-transparent diamond windows that do not "brown" or degrade under high-energy radiotherapy environments. |
| Wearable Bio-Sensing | BDD (Boron Doped Diamond) Electrodes | InsightRT aims to expand into dermatological conditions. BDD electrodes can detect biochemical markers of inflammation and oxidative stress on the skin surface with a wider electrochemical window than gold or carbon. |
| In-house Sensor R&D | Custom MPCVD Reactor Build | As InsightRT transitions to a hardware-software medical device firm, 6C can design a bespoke MPCVD system for them to grow their own specialized sensor-grade diamond films in Hong Kong. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "Your RD-Vision algorithm currently analyzes skin damage after the radiation event; have you considered integrating real-time diamond-based dosimetry to correlate the 'Fractal Dimension' of skin lesions directly with the localized radiation flux (MeV/mm2) delivered to the tissue?"
- Value Statement: "6C can help InsightRT evolve from a diagnostic software provider into a full-stack radiotherapy monitoring leader by providing the diamond-based hardware that 'sees' radiation with the same density as the human skin your AI is protecting."
