Autonomous, radiation-free bronchoscopic navigation for deep lung access

LumenGuides

Introducing Naviscope

A novel AI-assisted robotic bronchoscopic navigation platform enabling real-time, intraluminal 3D airway reconstruction without radiation or external imaging.

Radiation-free navigation

Real-time intraluminal 3D mapping

Single-use sterile system

Designed for the FDA 510(k) regulatory pathway

Product Overview

LumenGuides is developing Naviscope, an AI-assisted robotic bronchoscopic navigation platform designed to address one of pulmonary medicine's most persistent challenges: accurate, radiation-free access to deep peripheral lung lesions.

Unlike existing navigation systems that rely on fluoroscopy, electromagnetic tracking, or intra-procedural CT, Naviscope uses fiber-optic shape sensing based on Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) combined with proprietary signal processing, real-time geometric reconstruction, and AI-driven navigation algorithms.

This approach enables continuous, real-time 3D reconstruction of the airway tree directly from within the lumen, without radiation, external imaging, or room-dependent infrastructure.

FDA PATHWAY

Designed for the 510(k) regulatory pathway

Key Technical Differentiators

Technology designed to advance bronchoscopic navigation and diagnostic reach.

True Real-Time Intraluminal 3D Airway Mapping

Continuous geometric reconstruction of the airway tree generated directly from within the lumen.

Continuous CT-to-Live Registration

Seamless alignment between pre-procedure CT imaging and live intraluminal sensing data.

AI-Assisted Autonomous Navigation

Intelligent navigation designed to reduce physician cognitive load while maintaining clinician oversight.

Single-Use Sterile Robotic System

Compatible with standard working channels and designed to reach lesions beyond conventional bronchoscopy.

Our Mission

We are a team of experienced entrepreneurs and medical innovators focused on improving outcomes in minimally invasive lung diagnostics.

Today, up to 35% of lung biopsies require invasive surgical procedures due to limitations in bronchoscopic access. Naviscope is designed to reduce that burden through radiation-free, AI-assisted navigation.

With a validated proof of concept, LumenGuides is advancing toward clinical translation in a large and underserved global market.

Advanced Technology

Naviscope

Autonomous, radiation-free bronchoscopic navigation powered by intraluminal optical sensing and AI

Current State

The Problem

Despite significant advances in pulmonology, current bronchoscopic navigation technologies remain constrained by limited accuracy, complex workflows, and reliance on radiation-based imaging—resulting in suboptimal diagnostic yield and increased patient risk.

8mm+

Limited Detection Capability

Most existing systems struggle to reliably localize and access pulmonary nodules smaller than 8mm, increasing the risk of false negatives and delayed diagnosis.

☢️

Radiation Dependence

Fluoroscopy and intra-procedural CT expose both patients and clinicians to cumulative ionizing radiation during navigation.

40%

Limited Peripheral Reach

Up to 40% of lung biopsies still require invasive surgical intervention due to insufficient access to deep peripheral airways.

$20K+

High Procedural Costs

Radiation-based imaging, operating room dependency, and surgical alternatives significantly increase procedural cost and patient burden.

Innovation

Our Solution

Naviscope is a novel AI-assisted robotic bronchoscopic navigation platform designed to enable precise, radiation-free access to deep peripheral lung lesions.

Unlike conventional navigation systems that depend on electromagnetic tracking or external imaging, Naviscope is based on fiber-optic shape sensing using Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) combined with proprietary signal processing, real-time geometric reconstruction, and AI-driven navigation algorithms.
