🌬️ November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month 🌬️ Lung cancer remains a massive health challenge, ranking as the third most common cancer in the U.S. According to the CDC, 1 in 5 cancer deaths in the country is attributed to lung cancer. This month, the focus is on driving awareness around early screening, reducing smoking, and pioneering new treatments. At PONS, we're committed to pushing the boundaries of medical imaging technology to help close the gap in healthcare access, especially for those who need it the most. Our AI-driven ultrasound technology is designed to bring high-quality, accessible imaging right to the heart of disadvantaged communities. Imagine a world where a simple, portable device could help people in rural areas, low-income communities, and underserved populations access critical, preventive lung screenings without having to visit a hospital. With PONS, we are redefining medical imaging—making it affordable, mobile, and easy to use so that anyone can receive quality care, anywhere. By providing imaging solutions that empower early diagnosis, we’re joining the fight against lung cancer and working to reduce healthcare disparities. Together, let’s make sure everyone has access to the tools and technology that could save their lives. Early detection shouldn’t be a privilege—it should be a right. #LungCancerAwareness #HealthcareInnovation #AIinHealthcare #MedicalImaging #HealthcareEquity #ClosingTheGap #PreventiveCare #PONS

Despite the existing challenges, we believe that the significant changes in healthcare regulation is creating a unique opportunity for at-home ultrasound to flourish. The shift towards value-based care, coupled with the increasing demand for remote patient monitoring, is driving a paradigm shift in healthcare delivery.

PONS is excited to be among the innovative companies participating in the HITLAB Summit this December. We're looking forward to connecting with thought leaders driving the future of healthcare innovation!

Early Breast Cancer Detection: Breaking Down Barriers Breast cancer is a devastating disease, but early detection can significantly improve outcomes. Unfortunately, accessibility and affordability remain major hurdles for many women. At PONS, we're committed to changing that. Our innovative ultrasound technology generates high-quality data on early-stage breast cancer, even outside hospital settings. This means more women can get the screenings they need, when they need them. By making advanced imaging accessible and affordable, we're empowering women to take control of their health and fight breast cancer. #breastcancerawareness #earlydetection #healthcareaccess #medicaltechnology #PONS

PONS revolutionizes healthcare by delivering efficient and accessible disease monitoring capabilities to underserved populations, reducing healthcare costs, and improving patient outcomes. We are very excited to take part in AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP program. https://lnkd.in/gtXy7uuS

The current landscape of AI in healthcare faces a critical bottleneck: limited access to high-quality, diverse medical data. This scarcity hinders the development of robust and generalizable AI models for various medical imaging applications. Traditional data collection methods are often time-consuming, expensive, and ethically challenging. Additionally, real-world patient data often suffers from inconsistencies, biases, and privacy concerns. The PONS Solution: Synthetic Ultrasound Twins with Gen-AI PONS addresses this challenge head-on with a pioneering approach – Gen-AI technology for creating synthetic ultrasound imaging twins. Imagine having access to an infinite pool of realistic, anonymized ultrasound images for training AI models. This is precisely what PONS offers. We leverage the power of a cutting-edge class of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), combined with innovative prompt engineering techniques.
