NoahMed develops medical robotics systems for pulmonology, focusing on early diagnosis. Its flagship Galaxy System with TiLT+ Technology mitigates CT-to-body divergence to improve diagnostic yield and provides real-time navigation updates in all lung areas. It features an augmented fluoro overlay that guides locating non-visual lesions and a single-use bronchoscope with accessories to reduce cross-contamination and speed turnover, all in a compact, single-cart design for crowded operating rooms. The company differentiates itself through TiLT+ navigation, real-time augmented guidance, and a disposable—rather than reprocessed—bronchoscope setup, aiming to improve diagnostic confidence and efficiency. Its goal is to enhance early lung diagnosis with more reliable guidance, reducing procedure time and improving outcomes for patients in collaboration with interventional pulmonologists.

Memorialcare Cancer Institute At Saddleback Medical Center Offers Next Generation Robotic Bronchoscopy For Early Diagnosis And Treatment Of Lung Cancer

MemorialCare Cancer Institute uses first-of-its-kind robotic navigated bronchoscopy for greater precision and accuracy.LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MemorialCare Cancer Institute's Lung Cancer Program at Saddleback Medical Center is one of just four hospitals in California equipped with the recently FDA-cleared robotic navigated bronchoscopy system. This new device from NoahMed, Galaxy System, uses integrated tomosynthesis (3D mammography) to navigate to and locate lung nodules, which are small masses in the lungs often tested for cancer.This improved visualization, along with a disposable bronchoscope, enhances precision and accuracy beyond the capabilities of existing technologies. It gives physicians access to often hard-to-reach lesions in the outer third of the lung which are often hard to biopsy. The Galaxy System can biopsy nodules smaller than 2cm, while receiving real-time lesion location updates."Lung cancer is an insidious disease causing far too high a toll on our communities," said Jayne Stewart, executive director, MemorialCare Cancer Institute, MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center. "The Galaxy System gives physicians trained on the device a clear, direct path to improving patient diagnosis and, in turn, treatment –allowing us to catch lung cancer before it reaches less treatable, advanced stages
