Our Story
Founded by Dr. Benjamin Allen, Ph.D., The Algernon Project is currently working to raise awareness for this technology and to see its algorithm adopted on medical imaging devices across the globe.
After nearly a decade of misdiagnosis for his father-in-law, Dr. Allen developed the Algernon algorithm to assist medical personnel by alerting them to atrophy easily missed by the naked eye.
