BOONE, N.C., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuse Oncology (Fuse), a leading innovator in cutting-edge radiation oncology solutions, announced today a strategic collaboration with the University of Michigan, a recognized leader in radiation oncology.

Fuse will license and integrate an advanced radiation oncology workflow technology from U-M with assistance from Innovation Partnerships, in conjunction with technology from Cone Health, to further their vision to deliver care at the speed of the patient.

"Being an integral part of this transformative venture is truly inspiring," said Martha Matuszak, PhD, director of the physics division in U-M's Department of Radiation Oncology. "Our collaboration highlights the strength of our collective innovation in developing cutting-edge technology that has the ability, we believe, to transform the RadOnc industry for the greater good."

Fuse incorporates trusted generative AI technology and interoperability across its suite of solutions—focusing on seamlessly connecting diverse healthcare technologies including EMR, OIS, and planning systems to yield accelerated care pathways, improved decision making, and better business outcomes.

"This collaboration is about building a technology that will profoundly impact the medical industry," said Drew Bennett, Director of Software, Content Licensing and Research Partnerships at U-M's Innovation Partnerships. "At a high level, this partnership signifies a leap in innovation, and its implications are significant in the radiation oncology space. We are always seeking high-quality, industry leading partners to help with the final mile of translation development to provide broad scale positive, real world-impact and change patient outcomes."

Fuse's collaboration with U-M and Cone Health combines the expertise and resources of two radiation oncology powerhouses—sparking a new wave of innovation and product development.
