Guided Therapeutics, Inc. is a medical technology firm specializing in the creation of medical devices. Its primary focus is on bringing to market LuViva, an innovative device designed for the non-invasive detection of cervical cancer. This technology excels at identifying both cancerous and precancerous conditions of the cervix in a painless, non-invasive manner, directly at the point of care. LuViva operates by scanning the cervix with light and subsequently analyzing both the reflected and fluorescent light emitted. Established in 1992 and headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, the company was formerly known as SpectRx, Inc. until its rebranding to Guided Therapeutics, Inc. in February 2008.
Guided Therapeutics Reaches Collaborative Agreement with Türkiye’s Ministry of Health to Become Primary Screening Test for Cervical Cancer
Guided Therapeutics has reached a collaborative agreement with Türkiye's Ministry of Health to co-develop its LuViva Advanced Cervical Scan for primary screening of cervical cancer in Türkiye.
The first step is a six-month, 800-patient clinical study beginning enrollment this month, funded by the Ministry of Health — including purchases of LuViva devices and single-use Cervical Guides — to optimize LuViva's AI pattern recognition algorithms for real-time detection of early cellular changes.
If the study succeeds, LuViva could potentially be used to screen up to 20 million Turkish women annually, a country-scale deployment opportunity for the OTCQB micro-cap.
Near-term revenue is limited to study-related device purchases, and LuViva remains investigational in the U.S., so the payoff hinges on study outcomes and any subsequent deployment decision.
