QCELL is a pioneering company in the biophotonic hyperspectral imaging technology sector, founded in 2016 by Professor Costas Balas. It develops and markets advanced medical imaging devices including endoscopes, dermoscopes, and colposcopes based on its patented Spectral Vision camera technology. This technology transforms traditional color camera-based medical scopes into AI-powered, 4K-video spectral imagers that reveal hidden and subsurface tissue features for improved diagnostics. QCELL's products are CE-Marked and certified under ISO 13485, targeting global markets with a focus on medical endoscopy and microscopy. The company is also developing a low-cost, handheld spectral imaging device called SAVE for cervical cancer and Female Genital Schistosomiasis screening in low- and middle-income countries, validated through international clinical trials funded by the EU Horizon program. QCELL aims to lead the spectral imaging transformation in medical diagnostics with a strong technology foundation and expanding product portfolio.
