CAD SPECTRAL Technologies
We are developing SPECTRA-Mini — a non-invasive, eye-based screening approach designed to help detect early risk of coronary artery disease and improve access to cardiovascular assessment.
Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of preventable death, yet it is often diagnosed late — particularly in regional and remote communities where access to advanced cardiac diagnostics is limited.
Current pathways rely on expensive, centralized tests and complex referrals, creating long wait times and missed opportunities for earlier intervention.
SPECTRA-Mini leverages advanced ocular imaging and data-driven analysis to extract cardiovascular insights from the eye — enabling rapid, painless screening without needles, radiation, or contrast agents.
A compact platform designed for primary care and community settings — bringing cardiovascular screening closer to where patients live.

We’re optimizing form factor, workflow, and portability to support screening in metro, regional, and remote environments.

By shifting cardiovascular screening upstream, CAD SPECTRAL Technologies aims to reduce preventable heart attacks, improve health equity, and support clinicians with actionable insights earlier in the care pathway.
