Private Company

Total funding raised: $2.3M

Overview

Zedsen is developing a novel breast cancer screening device, the Z-Scanner, based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and advanced AI/ML algorithms. The technology is designed to be non-invasive, radiation-free, portable, and affordable, targeting improved detection in dense breast tissue and enabling use in primary care clinics. The company is pre-revenue and in the development stage, with a team focused on engineering and data science, aiming to decentralize and democratize early breast cancer detection.

Oncology

Technology Platform

Proprietary adaptation of Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) using a patented flat-sensor electrode array to measure tissue permittivity, combined with bespoke AI/ML algorithms for image reconstruction and cancer risk assessment.

Opportunities

The large, global unmet need for accessible and effective breast cancer screening, especially for women with dense breast tissue, presents a major opportunity.
Deploying a low-cost, portable device in primary care settings could decentralize screening, dramatically increasing access in both developed and emerging markets.

Risk Factors

Key risks include the unproven clinical efficacy and regulatory pathway for its novel ECT technology, the challenge of commercializing a new device in a market dominated by established imaging giants, and the financial risk inherent in a pre-revenue startup dependent on external funding.

Competitive Landscape

Zedsen competes in the breast imaging market against incumbent mammography systems (Hologic, GE, Siemens), which are improving with tomosynthesis and AI analysis. It also faces competition from other adjunct modalities like ultrasound and MRI, as well as other emerging technologies exploring electrical impedance or other properties for cancer detection.
