About Us
"Has there ever been a moment when your heart leaped into your throat? A frantic call about a loved one facing a critical health emergency, miles away from the nearest hospital, their regular doctor unreachable? We have. More than once.
This isn't just a hypothetical scenario for us; it’s the very foundation of PONS. In 2020, and again in December 2024, the heartbreak became our harsh reality. We lost our father first to heart disease and our vibrant aunt in 2024, she was just 50 years young, to a rapidly progressing cancer. These weren't sudden illnesses; both had been seemingly healthy individuals. The devastating truth? Their diagnoses came too late.
It was through this personal firestorm that a profound realization struck us: Medical imaging, a cornerstone of modern healthcare, is not accessible enough. It shouldn't be confined to hospital walls and burdened by endless delays. Preventative care shouldn't be a privilege; it should be a fundamental right, available to everyone, everywhere, and at any time.
This is why we founded PONS. We are driven by the deeply personal understanding that democratizing and decentralizing medical imaging isn’t just a technological advancement; it's an act of compassion. It’s about empowering individuals to take control of their health journey, regardless of location or circumstance.
It's about dismantling the barriers that lead to late diagnoses, easing the strain on our overwhelmed hospitals, and most importantly, giving families like ours, like yours, the precious gift of time.
