Revolutionizing Lung Cancer Detection: LumenGuides Introduces Naviscope

The world's first autonomous, radiation-free bronchoscopy system powered by AI and fiber optic sensors

Breaking Through Traditional Limitations

Early-stage lung cancer detection has long been hampered by the limitations of traditional bronchoscopy systems. Current methods rely heavily on radiation exposure, external imaging, and operator expertise — creating barriers to accessible, accurate diagnosis. LumenGuides is changing this paradigm entirely.

Our breakthrough innovation, Naviscope, represents the world's first single-use, radiation-free, AI-powered bronchoscopy system. By combining advanced fiber optic sensors (FBGs) with cutting-edge AI architectures, Naviscope can autonomously reach peripheral lung lesions that were previously inaccessible using standard bronchoscopes or even robotic systems.

2025: A Year of Remarkable Milestones

Company Achievements

Massive Market Opportunity

The global bronchoscopy market represents an enormous opportunity, with projections showing growth to $17 billion by 2030. This growth is driven by several critical factors:

Strong Unmet Need

Current solutions require radiation exposure and heavy operator dependency, creating accessibility barriers

Cost-Effective Innovation

Naviscope is approximately 90% more affordable than current robotic systems

Autonomous Operation

Radiation-free, operator-independent solutions address critical healthcare workflow challenges
