Volvo Car Corp. has invested in Israeli startup MDGo Ltd., which turns crash data into a quick assessment of injuries to a car’s occupants and reports its results to nearby emergency room doctors.

Tel Aviv-based MDGo uses medical-related artificial intelligence to make a diagnosis seven seconds after a crash occurs. The company says its system can help first responders decide what equipment they’ll need and let ERs know what to expect when accident victims arrive.

The technology also could give insurance companies a more accurate understanding of what happened in the crash.

Last month Hyundai Motor Co. partnered with MDGo to develop its system, in part to help the carmaker improve vehicle crash structures and advance safety systems.
