GenScan AI

GenScan makes medical imaging 90% faster—starting with MRI—without new hardware.

The Challenge

Slow, costly, capacity-limited diagnostic imaging is a major bottleneck in healthcare. Conventional MRIs take 20–90+ minutes, creating long waiting lists, and delayed diagnoses for conditions like stroke (6M annual deaths), and cancer (10M annual deaths). This reduces hospital throughput, limits care access, and contributes to preventable deaths and system inefficiency.

The Opportunity

Our flagship software, GenMRI, makes MRI scans 90% (e.g., from a 20-minute brain scan to 2 minutes) with no new scanner, helping hospitals scan up to 10x more patients per day, reduce repeat scans and sedation, and enable faster diagnosis for time-critical conditions such as stroke, cancer, and CES,

The Venture

Business Model

Our business model is B2B enterprise software, sold as annual subscriptions per MRI scanner to hospitals and imaging centres, with potential per-scan pricing. It enters through clinical pilots to generate real-world evidence, then converts into recurring contracts and expands across scanners, hospital systems, and adjacent clinical workflows over time.

Competition

Our competitors include Subtle Medical, AIRS Medical, and OEM solutions from GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, and Philips. They typically achieve 30–60% scan-time reduction, and are limited by vendor lock-in, hardware dependence, and/or protocol-specific constraints. GenScan is vendor-neutral, hardware-independent, protocol-agnostic, and reduces scan times by up to 90% with higher quality.

Traction

GenMRI was trained on 15,000+ scans, validated retrospectively on 7,700+ scans at Imperial College London. The research was supported by UK EPSRC grants, accepted to MIDL 2026 and ICPR 2026 (top conferences), and recognised as 1 of 3 groundbreaking AI research. We have 5+ hospital interests from US, UK, Africa.
