First truly non-invasive electromagnetic platform for solid tumors

A patented coil device that targets cancer cells electromagnetically — 60 minutes a day, no contact, no surgery. Launching with DIPG, the deadliest pediatric brain cancer.

01 — The urgent gap

The urgent gap

Current energy-based cancer therapy demands near-continuous wear, invasive hardware, or both. Children with DIPG have a 1% five-year survival rate and zero approved non-invasive options.

90%

of all cancers are solid tumors — one physics-based mechanism can address the whole class

1%

five-year survival in DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma), a lethal pediatric brain cancer

02 — The technology

A patented coil platform that targets cancer cells electromagnetically

VX signal generator with exposure disk
A / How it works
  • —Locks onto voltage-gated ion channels of cancer cells
  • —Drives selective cancer-cell apoptosis; healthy tissue unaffected
B / Why it is different
  • —Truly non-invasive: coil disk + signal generator, no electrodes, no shaved scalp
  • —60 min/day session vs. 18 h/day for the incumbent
  • —Same hardware for any solid tumor — one platform, many indications
C / Platform economics

Low-cost reusable hardware on a monthly rental model → recurring revenue per patient, scalable to home use; a DIPG regulatory beachhead (HDE) opens the full solid-tumor market.

03 — Comparison

Energy-based oncology is proven — but today it is burdensome. We remove the burden.
