Medical imaging.

Reimagined.

We change the traditional healthcare paradigm where scans are a commodity, enabling individuals to increase and secure their well-being.

We have been relying on technology for decades
to treat health problems. We believe in the power
of people-centered health technology
to detect
potential health problems at their earliest stage.

Medical imaging
Reimagined.

You are living your life. Busy with your family, work, and hobbies.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, there is that diagnosis that completely upsets your life and your environment. How could you have missed this? The signs were perhaps there, but they were too
vague and too subtle. You had no idea.

Think of us as the warning light in your car that signals that something is wrong before you come to a complete stop.
We scan and monitor your health, analyze AI data, and identify abnormal patterns you can discuss with your doctors

Development timeline

We are currently in the second phase of the development of our scanner: the proof of principle phase. This phase will end with a small scale scanner to scan real tissue (arm). The PoP tests finalize this phase of 2 years where we planned to leap from an idea to an operational system. The output of this phase is a clear view on the development timeline to come to a final prototype design. With a prototype clinical trials can be started.The prototype phase will be our next investment opportunity. If either technical or financial questions arise please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

2024

Proof of Principle + Minimal viable Product definition.

All subsystems of the scanner must be brought to TRL5 of het minimal viable product (cheap).

The technology proven with the proof of principle demonstrator including image reconstruction (small size).

2025

Prototype design and business development

  • Tests with PoP on other biological samples and/ or phantoms to validate also effectiveness on organs and contrast liquids (broadly used in medical imaging).
  • Finalization on sub system tests and user input for prototype definition.
  • Prototype design ready.
  • STEF company includes research and engineering (~5 FTE)
  • Partner network for production and specialized knowledge finalized

Finish of seed stage investment cycle

Seed investment finalized to cover full prototype phase + businessdevelopment

2026

Prototype

  • Full functional system ready. Clear path to medical certification.
  • Roadmap for further development phases finalized.
  • Production of 3 prototypes for internal tests and clinical trials.

Initation of round a investment cycle

To start the prototyping phase additional funding is needed. We expect to start the next investing round beginning of 2025 and finalize Q2 2025.

2027

CE Certification & Clinical trials.

  • Clinical trials finalized and medical certification ready.
  • Production process defined and partner contracts finalized for scale up.
  • Scale up plan STEF finalized

Round A finalization

2029

1st scanner to market

The first STEF medtech scanners will hit the market. STEF will develop new versions and starts with the first drafts of a personal scanner for everybody.
