Chipiron
Chipiron is a Paris-based medical-imaging startup building a compact, low-cost MRI scanner that runs at an ultra-low magnetic field (below ~30 millitesla, roughly 1,000x weaker than a hospital MRI). Its patented low-Tc SQUID quantum detection system plus AI noise cancellation and reconstruction are designed to recover clinical-grade image quality without a shielded room, without helium, and at a fraction of the cost, size, and infrastructure of conventional machines. The company's stated aim is to make MRI accessible everywhere, starting with breast imaging, and eventually reach patients, clinics, and remote settings that today's scanners can't serve.
Harae Dx Corp.
Harae Dx Corp. is a Pleasanton, California medical device startup building what it calls the world's smallest portable, automated system for early cancer detection. Founded in 2021 by serial medtech entrepreneur Sanjeev Saxena, the company pairs a proprietary lab-on-a-disc centrifugal microfluidic platform with a biomarker panel exclusively licensed from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to deliver a non-invasive early breast cancer test that returns results in roughly 30 minutes - without shipping samples to a third-party lab. Backed by SOSV/HAX and Fusion Fund, Harae Dx aims to make low-cost cancer screening portable enough to run at the point of care.
iSono Health
iSono Health builds ATUSA, an FDA-cleared wearable 3D ultrasound platform that scans both breasts in about two minutes without a specialized sonographer. The South San Francisco startup uses AI to make breast imaging portable, reproducible, and accessible at the point of care.
