Getting ahead of colon cancer.

Through the use of new technology, AI Lumen is implementing innovative ways to discover cancerous polyps, effectively.

About AI Lumen

AI Lumen develops accessory devices which provide wireless, real-time near-high-definition images and video for endoscopic applications.
These systems wirelessly transmit images and video from within the human body, through tissue, and convert them to recognizable near-high-definition images using a proprietary super resolution artificial intelligence algorithm.
The company’s initial offering will be a wireless battery powered retroview (backward looking) cap for colonoscopies allowing gastroenterologists the ability to view behind haustral folds without retroflexing.

Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the 3rd most diagnosed cancer and an estimated 1.9 million people were diagnosed in 2020 resulting in ~915 thousand deaths.
In the US, CRC is the 4th most common cancer and 4th most common cause of cancer deaths with~126,000 new cases diagnosed in 2020 (the latest year data is available) with ~52,000 deaths.
Patients diagnosed in early stages have a greater than ~90% survivability rate

Interval Colorectal Cancer (iCRC) - 3%-8% of CRC patients had a colonoscopy 3-5 years prior to CRC diagnosis
Recent large sample studies have shown procedures and equipment currently utilized may miss 20%-25% of polyps using standard endoscopes
One reason for these misses is the difficulty in seeing behind haustral folds (~15% of mucosal area) when using the forward-looking camera of a standard colonoscope.

AI Lumen offers a wireless, retroview accessory device which allows gastroenterologists to see behind haustral folds.
As a scope-based accessory device, AI Lumen allows GIs to cost effectively upgrade their capabilities, to see behind tissue (haustral) folds, without changing their equipment.
This device will enable GIs to visualize a greater percentage of the mucosa than possible using only a forward-looking scope.
Greater visualization should increase adenoma detection rate (ADR) and reduce interval colorectal cancer (ICC).

AI Lumen transmits low resolution video via a wireless signal through body tissue to a patient worn receiver. This low-resolution video is then upscaled to near-HD resolution using a proprietary AI super-resolution algorithm.
