the owl peak story
Owl Peak Technologies was founded in 2019 to revolutionize diagnostic imaging by innovating breakthrough colorectal cancer screening technology. Headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, Owl Peak is part of an emerging biotech corridor.
The problem
Colorectal cancer is known as the most preventable but least prevented form of cancer. By 2030, colorectal cancer will be the leading cause of cancer death. Existing screening methods are insufficient, and the need for a better solution continues to grow.
15M colonoscopies are performed each year in the US, 50M world-wide
28% of polyps are missed
50% of all colon cancers occur between endoscopies
Stool testing and liquid biopsy miss almost 30% of cancers, and generate 13% false positives requiring colonoscopy
our Solution: Spectra A.I.
Our colorectal cancer screening solution known as Spectra A.I. combines the power of thermal imaging with advanced A.I. processing, resulting in more effective screening.
Why it works: Find it fast, treat it first
The Spectra A.I. system under development promises to improve outcomes, resulting in fewer late-stage cancer diagnoses.
Spectra A.I. is easy to use and integrates with multiple endoscope platforms. The learning curve for using Spectra A.I. is short, but the impact of utilizing thermal imaging to detect colorectal cancer is far-reaching.
