Making MRI accessible to all of humanity
MRI is the best medical imaging technique: it produces 3D images with incredible details, thanks to the contrasts putting emphasis on the noteworthy areas to see.
Images from the same brain of a patient with a tumor: CT scan on the left, FLAIR MRI on the middle, T1 MRI of the right
Moreover, MRI is non-ionizing, meaning completely harmless, contrary to its alternative.
Despite all these fantastic qualities, MRI is incredibly scarce.
It is by far the less accessible medical imaging technique.
75% of the world’s population can’t have access to it.
For the rest of the world, the waiting time to get an exam is extremely long (~34 days on average in OECD), and the use of MRI is restricted to the most urgent cases.
The consequences are appalling:
The degradation of the conditions led by these lags;
The suboptimal diagnosis resulted from the lack of access to MRI.
It is impossible to use MRI on a large scale for prevention and exploration, yet:
Strokes are the second leading cause of death worldwide and could be almost fully prevented.
Same with most fatality rate deases.
450 million people suffer from a neurological disease like epilepsy, schizophrenia, or depression and exploration could lead to much better treatments, years sooner.
What we are going to deliver:
A new MRI machine that makes MRI accessible to all.
-
Cheap
1/5th of current prices
-
Convenient
10x smaller, light and portable
-
No support
Helium-free: no superconductor magnets
-
Easy to use
No shielded room, no counter indications
“The most efficient way to decrease the fatality rate of, for instance, brain-related diseases is a wider adoption of MRI for
systematic exploration.”
— Jean-Pierre Pruvo, former President of the French Society of Radiology
