Description
Oatmeal Health is dedicated to revolutionizing lung cancer screening and diagnosis, driven by a mission to save lives, particularly within underserved communities. The platform addresses the critical issue of late-stage lung cancer diagnoses by providing a comprehensive, full-funnel solution. It begins by identifying eligible patients through AI-driven mining of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data, even uncovering buried smoking history in clinical notes. This is followed by an AI-powered outreach system, including voice callers and nurse navigators, who educate patients on eligibility and screening options, facilitating shared decision-making visits.

Patients are then guided to low-dose CT scans through a partner imaging network, with scheduling assistance for both initial screenings and follow-ups to ensure no eligible individual is missed. A key component is the LungAI CADx, which analyzes nodules with a risk score from 0 to 100 directly within the radiologist's existing viewer, delivering results in under three minutes with a 0.96 AUROC. This AI analysis helps clinicians fast-track high-risk cases, adjust follow-up intervals for low-risk nodules, and make more informed decisions, ensuring patients receive the appropriate next steps.
The platform delivers significant value across the entire care pathway. For patients, it offers a greater chance of survival through early detection, with 5-year survival rates dramatically increasing from 9% at Stage IV to 77-92% at Stage I. Radiologists benefit from reduced cognitive burden and faster read times, with AI-assisted reads saving up to 80% of time per scan and reducing unnecessary follow-up orders. Pulmonologists can effectively risk-stratify patients and prioritize care with AI-backed decisions. Hospitals and health systems see increased downstream referrals and revenue, positioning themselves as centers of excellence. Health plans can achieve substantial savings by catching cancer early, with costs for Stage I treatment significantly lower than for Stage IV.
Oatmeal Health's mission is deeply personal, founded by CEO Jonathan Govette after losing multiple family members to cancer. The platform was built to provide the early detection tools that were missing. The company is partnered with leading health systems and FQHCs, working to close care gaps and ensure equitable access to life-saving screening. LungAI, a component of the platform, is a medical device pending FDA 510(k) clearance, with all clinical performance data reflecting retrospective studies.
