Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

MedDARE provided patient data (CT and MRI scans of the head area) from their hospital network, and then segmentation of a large number of anatomical structures was performed on this data. 
Key deliverables :  

Data provision: Data was collected, selected, and anonymized from the hospital network
Annotation Accuracy: High precision in segmentation, meeting our accuracy requirements.
Timely Delivery: Generally annotations were delivered on time according to the agreed timeline. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Services contributed to software development and validation activities meeting regulatory requirements.  

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Communication from the MedDARE managers and reviewers communication was clear and timely, keeping us well-informed about the project's progress and any questions from annotators. They were very responsive to our needs, promptly addressing any adjustments with efficiency. The MedDARE reliably delivered all items as planned and generally without delays.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

MedDARE has a flexible and motivated team that is able to quickly adapt even to unusual requests, and at the same time they have a fairly strict internal quality control system that allows them to deliver high quality even on extremely complex projects. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something medDARE could have done differently?

It may make sense to involve internal reviewers in the discussion of projects more actively, so that unclear points can be discussed directly and questions answered. Generally, enhance internal training/communication when large amount of annotators are involved. Extend their imaging providers/hospital of medical images to more regions/countries and with access to complex data.
