The treatment plan is the burden
After a first diagnosis, patients return for a cystoscopy every three to six months for five years or more, and in some cases for life. It is an onerous schedule to live with, and recurrence rates across it remain disastrous.
Some of that recurrence never left
A share of what is recorded as recurrence is residual disease the first procedure did not find. The bladder is a balloon, examined through a narrow scope, freehand, with nothing keeping track of which parts of the wall have already been inspected.
So we are building the map
A spatial visualisation system that shows the surgeon, during the procedure, which corners of the bladder they have covered and which they have not.
