BeCertain was spun out of King’s College London and the University of Surrey to commercialise research that applies uncertainty-aware AI to 2D intraoral dental X-rays. Its software detects conditions such as tooth decay, bone loss, infections and restoration defects and reports calibrated confidence scores rather than a single black-box verdict. The company positions the product to increase diagnostic consistency, integrate with common dental imaging systems, and protect patient data with privacy measures. BeCertain’s technology was developed from research led by Dr Yunpeng Li and Professor Owen Addison and trained on NHS-grade data, and the team has emphasised explainability to support clinical judgement. Financially, the venture has been supported by a £1.75 million NIHR i4i award and has just raised £1.7 million in pre-seed funding led by Sure Valley Ventures. The company joined King’s MedTech Venture Builder in 2025 as part of its route to commercialisation.
