The Full Story
Every one of us has experienced that moment when our family members with critical health conditions needed to be treated immediately when they were away from their doctors or the nearest hospital.
​
In 2012, our co-founders lost their father due to a late diagnosis that could have been prevented if medical imaging can be done outside the hospital settings.
​
Today, we understand that we need to democratize and decentralize the medical imaging ecosystem in healthcare. Value based outpatient care should be done anytime, anywhere, and be accessible by everyone to prevent overcrowding hospitals and save time.
​
The PONS mobile ultrasound system is the first comprehensive solution for risk assessment on health conditions outside the hospital settings, with the help of artificial intelligence and deep learning technology.
Our Mission
Optimize access to healthcare and improve the quality of life for all, regardless of their location or income so that nobody loses their loved ones to preventable diseases
Our Vision
Bring "affordable , accessible medical imaging around the World"
