PhoMedics Limited

PhoMedics developed a patented CHAMP Microscope ― a fast, accurate, and simple device for intraoperative cancer margin analysis. Free from any time-consuming preparation of tissue samples (e.g., slicing or chemical staining), CHAMP can simplify the clinical workflow down to minutes and preserve tissue integrity for a more accurate diagnosis. CHAMP not only helps to reduce the chance of second cancer surgery, but it also enables efficient allocation of hospital resources and benefits patients in the society. A virtual staining software is also developed to transform CHAMP images to the style that professionals can understand without additional training. This method comes with a high level of accuracy (>95%) that could be trusted by a medical professional. Successful results have been shown using brain and kidney tissues from mice with high structural similarity. With a promising lab-based clinical trial, an on-site clinical trial will start in Q2 2021.
