NovaScan
NovaScan is a Chicago-based clinical-stage oncology company building low-cost, point-of-care devices that detect cancer in real time. Its platform pairs spectral bioimpedance with machine learning around a single biophysical signal - the Cole relaxation frequency, which differs by orders of magnitude between cancerous and healthy tissue. Two lead products, nsCanary for assessing biopsy cores and MarginScan for checking surgical excision margins, aim to deliver answers in seconds instead of the days that conventional pathology can take.
