  • Illumigyn

    Participated · Equity · Nov 2021

    Illumigyn developed the Gynescope System, an FDA-cleared remote gynecological imaging platform that digitally documents the cervix, vagina and external genitalia. The HIPAA-compliant system automatically uploads and securely stores high-resolution images to the cloud, enabling remote specialist review and giving women access to their scans and doctors’ recommendations. Illumigyn says its high-resolution magnification can produce more accurate smear tests than traditional exams and is designed to be handled by trained caregivers such as OB/GYNs, general practitioners, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The company announced it closed $33 million in funding from investors including Yozma Group Korea and Ubicom Holdings Japan, with other investors not disclosed. Proceeds will be used to ramp up production, support research and development toward a comprehensive lower genital tract examination solution, and to execute distribution agreements and new global partnerships. Illumigyn said it is expanding into the United States, United Arab Emirates, India, Singapore and South Korea starting this month and is targeting women worldwide aged 15 and older.
