About us

SnakeAI is a MedTech startup revolutionizing colorectal cancer screening with its AI-powered robotic colonoscopy system. Founded by Jiawei Xu, SnakeAI addresses critical challenges in healthcare by making screenings smarter, faster, and more patient friendly.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, yet millions of cases go undetected until late stages due to inefficiencies in traditional colonoscopy methods. These procedures are invasive, time-consuming, and costly, creating barriers for patients and healthcare providers alike.

SnakeAI’s innovative solution integrates advanced AI diagnostics, autonomous robotic movement, and a single-use disposable design to enhance accuracy, reduce procedure times, and improve patient comfort. Currently in the proof-of-concept and R&D stages, SnakeAI is collaborating with healthcare providers to refine its system for clinical and regulatory readiness.
