**About Mirada Medical**

**Mirada Medical** develops **medical imaging and cancer treatment planning solutions** that provide simple and accessible solutions to complex image analysis problems in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases. Our solutions interoperate with other IT systems in the healthcare enterprise, such as EHRs and PACS, empowering users to access our clinical solutions when and where appropriate and to exchange data.

- Ensuring projects have appropriate resources allocated, prioritizing as required.
- Reporting release status to management/committees as required.
