The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Aidoc the clearances are for triage and notification in the CADt category, so the software may reorder a worklist but may not deliver a diagnosis or replace a read, and business cases built on reduced radiologist workload do not survive contact with the regulatory wording.; SilverCloud by Amwell the evidence base is for the guided model, and organisations that deploy SilverCloud as unstaffed self service get the completion rates of unguided self help, which is not what the trials measured.
  • They diverge on capability: Aidoc covers Triage and notification, SilverCloud by Amwell covers Guided programmes.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Aidoc

  • The clearances are for triage and notification in the CADt category, so the software may reorder a worklist but may not deliver a diagnosis or replace a read, and business cases built on reduced radiologist workload do not survive contact with the regulatory wording.
  • Triage algorithms are tuned for sensitivity, so false positives are routine, and each one interrupts a radiologist. Sites that do not measure positive predictive value in their own case mix see clinician trust erode within months.
  • Pricing is per algorithm and per study volume with no published rate card, so the cost of a multi algorithm deployment escalates sharply and cannot be benchmarked before a sales conversation.
  • The clinical benefit accrues to stroke, trauma and cardiology service lines while the cost usually lands in the radiology or IT budget, which makes internal funding harder than the return on investment slides suggest.
  • Performance depends on scanner protocols and reconstruction settings, so results validated at one site do not transfer, and each deployment needs local validation work that is rarely budgeted for.

SilverCloud by Amwell

  • The evidence base is for the guided model, and organisations that deploy SilverCloud as unstaffed self service get the completion rates of unguided self help, which is not what the trials measured.
  • Supporter capacity is normally the buyer responsibility rather than part of the licence, so the real cost includes trained staff time that does not appear on the software quote.
  • Digital cognitive behavioural therapy has substantial dropout across all vendors, so a service planning capacity from enrolment numbers rather than completion numbers will overstate the throughput gained.
  • It is now sold as part of the Amwell portfolio, and Amwell has restructured its product lines since acquiring SilverCloud, so buyers should ask how SilverCloud is positioned within the Amwell Converge platform and whether it can still be bought standalone.
  • Guided digital cognitive behavioural therapy is a step two intervention and does not serve moderate to severe presentations, so a service that buys it without a funded escalation pathway simply relocates the queue.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Aidoc: Is Aidoc FDA cleared?

Yes, it holds multiple 510(k) clearances, but they are for computer aided triage and notification. It may prioritise a worklist and notify a team. It may not provide a diagnostic interpretation or replace a radiologist read.

SilverCloud by Amwell: Is SilverCloud still available under its own name?

Yes. It is marketed as SilverCloud by Amwell and has its own product pages and NHS partnership, though contracting runs through Amwell.

Aidoc: Does it reduce radiologist workload?

No. Every study still needs a full read. The benefit is in the order studies are read and how quickly a receiving specialty is activated, not in reading fewer studies.

SilverCloud by Amwell: What evidence supports it?

It has been evaluated in independently led randomised controlled trials, including a National Institute of Mental Health funded study published in Nature Human Behaviour in 2026 examining prevalence of mental disorders over two years at scale.

Aidoc: Can I run other vendors AI through it?

Yes, that is what the aiOS platform layer is for, and for health systems with several AI vendors it is often the main reason to buy Aidoc at all.

SilverCloud by Amwell: Do we need to provide the supporters?

In most deployments, yes. The guided model requires trained supporter time, and that staffing is usually the buyer responsibility rather than included in the licence.

Aidoc: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted per algorithm and by annual study volume, and enterprise bundles are negotiated case by case.

SilverCloud by Amwell: Is it suitable for severe presentations?

No. It is a step two style intervention for mild to moderate presentations, and it needs a funded escalation pathway for anything more severe.
