Avenda Health Funding & Investors

Tens of thousands of men each year with prostate cancer seek treatments that impact their quality of life with significant risks of urinary or sexual dysfunction. At Avenda Health, we believe patients should not have to choose between treating their prostate cancer and keeping their quality of life. The Avenda Health platform delivers targeted treatment through focal laser ablation, which minimizes impact to healthy tissue. When compared to competing technologies, this ‘male lumpectomy’ is relatively inexpensive (no operating room), simple (local anesthesia), and quick (45 mins). Avenda Health most recently took grand prize in the 2019 SPIE Startup Challenge in the Biophototics and Point-of-Care Technologies track.
