Poles are pioneers in AI-based mobile breast cancer diagnostics
Two Polish companies will create the world’s first mobile Breast Diagnostic Centers based on artificial intelligence. The medical startup AILIS (which developed a proprietary early breast cancer detection method utilizing AI algorithms) and Sobiesław Zasada Automotive (a leading dealer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles) signed a cooperation agreement on September 4th during the Economic Forum in Karpacz.

Breakthrough Partnership for Women’s Health
As part of the collaboration, self-sufficient, zero-emission diagnostic units will be created, based on advanced artificial intelligence technologies. These mobile centers will provide services comparable to the best stationary facilities, with the primary objective of improving access to high-quality medical care in smaller towns, where access to specialized breast cancer diagnostics is limited.
“Our mobile diagnostic centers will bring breast diagnostics closer to women, eliminating geographical barriers and ensuring high-quality services. This project not only aligns with global trends but will also help reduce social inequalities in access to healthcare,” emphasizes Michał Matuszewski, CEO of AILIS.
Innovative Breast Cancer Detection Method
The system’s construction took 8 years. As a result, AILIS presented a proprietary solution that, due to Parametric Dynamic Imaging and the use of artificial intelligence, allows for early detection of breast cancer. The new method stands out due to the absence of radiation, lack of pressure on the breast, and the ability to repeat the examination frequently. Results are available in just 10 minutes, making it one of the fastest and most convenient diagnostic methods on the market.
“We are proud to be part of this innovative project. Through our collaboration with AILIS, we are contributing to improving women’s health. Moreover, Poland is becoming a pioneer in creating mobile, technologically advanced diagnostic units, and I am pleased that this will be made possible by the zero-emission Mercedes-Benz vehicle,” adds Maciej Rżysko, Vice President of Sobiesław Zasada Automotive, a company belonging to the Zasada Group.
Mercedes-Benz eActros 600
The platform for the mobile Diagnostic Centers will be the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 – a modern, electric vehicle with a long range and reliability that is environmentally friendly due to advanced technologies and eco-friendly drive.
The AILIS system aligns with the goals set by the United Nations (UN) in terms of improving health and quality of life and reducing inequalities. The startup AILIS, joining forces with Sobiesław Zasada Automotive, will implement an innovative project that exemplifies actions for sustainable development.

New Challenges in the Fight Against Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most serious health threats to women in Poland. Every day, 58 Polish women receive a breast cancer diagnosis, and 17 others die. The breast cancer detection rate in Poland at an early stage is only 41%, one of the lowest rates in Europe. Our country also has the highest mortality rate from this cancer in the European Union and a growing shortage of medical personnel. All of this makes increasing access to early breast cancer diagnostics a key challenge. In response to these challenges, the AILIS team has developed a modern health monitoring system for breasts that, thanks to AI, will enable non-invasive, painless, and rapid diagnostics.
System that Changes Healthcare
The AILIS system, after the ongoing clinical evaluation is completed, will be launched on the market, first in Poland and then abroad. In the future, the system will expand to include a digital assistant function that will monitor breast health, recommend examinations, and analyze the risk of breast cancer based on individual parameters of the patient.
