About Prothea Technologies

Prothea Technologies is a private medical technology company based in the United Kingdom.

It specializes in an integrated platform designed for lung cancer biopsy, diagnosis, and treatment, all within a single hospital visit. This innovative approach significantly reduces the time-to-treat from weeks to minutes, addressing delays and inaccuracies in traditional workflows for patients with suspected early-stage lung cancer. Founded in April 2024 as a spinout from the Universities of Bath and Edinburgh, Prothea has secured €12M ($13M) in Series A funding. The company employs a team of 11-20 people and has an estimated annual revenue of $1.6M. Its core technology features a medical device that combines a Microendoscope with an Image Processing System, allowing for real-time visualization of tissue structure during biopsy. This technology is enhanced by proprietary AI software that provides insights during procedures. Prothea is also developing future solutions, including a laser ablation catheter for immediate treatment of lesions.
