How Medical Metrics Diagnostics utilizes Alpha Sophia to chart a path for their new AI product 'SpineCAMP'
Introduction:
SpineCAMP™, an advanced, AI-powered spinal imaging technology developed by Medical Metrics Diagnostics, analyzes radiographs (X-ray images) of the spine to generate quantitative metrics associated with spinal health. SpineCAMP enhances visualization of the spine and provides objective reports to support spinal care providers during the diagnosis of spinal problems. As with all new technologies, identifying the target market for innovative technologies can be challenging. Consequently, Medical Metrics Diagnostics sought a tool to facilitate strategic segmentation and targeted outreach.
To fulfill these goals, Medical Metrics Diagnostics subscribed to Alpha Sophia. Through precise data segmentation, strategic outreach planning, and dedicated support, Alpha Sophia has helped the company gain a greater understanding of the market size, plan for the engagement of key practitioners, and develop marketing campaigns.

Barriers to Growth:
Navigating the spinal care market presented three key challenges for SpineCAMP:
- Complex Market Segmentation: Reaching a diverse range of spinal care practitioners, like radiologists, surgeons, physiatrists, and chiropractors, posed a unique challenge. Each specialty has distinct needs and roles in spinal care, and even understanding the size of each subspecialty and the specific procedures they deliver was an important question with a credible answer requiring accurate market data. Without clear segmentation, there was a risk of spreading resources too thin or overlooking key segments that could drive early adoption.
- Resource Limitations: Operating as a startup with a small team, Medical Metrics Diagnostics prioritized efficient and impactful outreach. Limited resources made it essential to focus on the most impactful groups, ensuring effective engagement without overextending the team across a diverse market.
- CRM Integration and Automation: Ensuring scalable growth required a system that could manage large volumes of data while fitting Medical Metrics Diagnostics’ lean approach. They wanted a solution that would later work smoothly with the CRM and outreach tools they planned to use, helping them track interactions, organize leads, and build strong connections with high-priority practitioners.
Building a Data-Driven Strategy from Pre-Market Planning to Commercial Success

This approach allowed them to evaluate market opportunities clearly and prioritize high-value segments, from spinal surgeons to non-operative specialists.

Results That Matter:
