Innovation

Astranu founders identified problems and set out to solve them, first in medical imaging. Creating a new platform that greatly reduces the size and cost of high performance Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

Who knows where this platform will go next?

 

  • We are improving outcomes by bringing the best in class Optical Coherence Tomography to more clinicians and more patients.

  • We will reduce the cost and size of Optical Coherence Tomography by orders of magnitude.

  • Built on decades of photonics innovation at Bell Labs, Astranu’s integrated OCT platform applies telecom industry know how, materials and components to an existing healthcare market and its biggest challenges.
