There's a wealth of information in these raw signals and this approach reveals novel biomarkers that can be aligned with existing standards and categorization systems. Initially targeting liver disease, a $30B global diagnostic market, Oncoustics has filed a Breakthrough Device Designation Request with the FDA for the OnX that detects liver fibrosis and the 510K is underway. Several follow-on liver products are in development. Oncoustics also has clinical data on other organ indications including prostate, kidney, breast and thyroid diseases and cancers.
