Helping physicians select the right therapy for breast cancer
We make a handheld imaging device that helps physicians choose the right therapy for breast cancer patients. It prevents patients from undergoing months of side effects from treatments that ultimately won't work. The device uses AI and specialized hardware to provide quick, actionable information right at the point of care.
We are based in Austin, TX and South Bend, IN. After YC, we would continue to operate from these locations depending on where the team is.
Our team is distributed between Austin and South Bend, close to our founding members. We stay where we can execute best and grow our network, including proximity to medical research institutions and healthcare providers.
