What we do
At Vara, we believe better breast cancer screening should be a standard offering for every woman, everywhere. Our AI-powered software platform, developed in close collaboration with radiologists in Germany, reduces the variability in mammogram interpretation and alleviates the repetitive workload involved in routine screening.
Our mission is to make breast cancer screening more effective, measurable, and accessible. By enhancing early detection and ensuring outcomes backed by clinical evidence, we9re proud to contribute to a national effort focused on improving women9s health in Germany.
Founded in 2018 as the first company to emerge from Europe9s leading AI venture studio, Merantix, Vara has grown into an international team of 25 driven professionals. Our diverse team brings together entrepreneurs, healthcare experts, and technology innovators united by a common goal: transforming breast cancer screening for the better.
