Smart Screening.
Zero Invasion.
Your eyes tell the story.

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.

🚧 Coming soon

The problem

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.

The solution

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.

Non-invasive
Fast & clinic-friendly
Designed for remote access
Data-driven risk insights
Clinical evidence (early): Our approach is being clinically validated against standard-of-care cardiovascular assessment pathways, with a focus on safety, accuracy, and real-world usability.

SPECTRA-Mini

A compact platform designed for primary care and community settings — bringing cardiovascular screening closer to where patients live.

Why it matters

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.
