Our Mission
Built from loss.
Driven by love.
Built to save lives.
Too many people, especially in underserved communities, are diagnosed with lung cancer too late. We built Oatmeal Health to change that.
“
I watched people I loved miss their chance at early detection. That's why we built Oatmeal Health.
The reality of lung cancer in America
The numbers that make early detection urgent
131,880
Americans die from lung cancer every year, more than breast, colon, and prostate combined
18%
Of eligible Americans are currently screened for lung cancer each year
85%
Of lung cancers are still diagnosed at late stage, when 5-year survival is under 9%
64.7%
5-year survival rate when lung cancer is caught early at Stage I or II
20-28M
Americans are eligible for free annual LDCT screening
<6%
Screened in underserved FQHC communities, where the gap is widest

How Oatmeal Health Works
From missed to detected.
From risk to care.
From risk to care.
A full-funnel platform that finds high-risk patients, guides them to screening, and delivers AI-powered malignancy risk scoring.
1
Identify
Finding eligible patients is the hardest part of any lung cancer screening program. Our AI mines EHR data to surface patients with 20+ pack-year smoking histories, even when that history is buried in clinical notes and never entered into structured fields.
2
Reach
Our AI-powered voice caller and nurse navigators reach patients via phone, text, and voicemail. They educate patients on their eligibility and screening options, then schedule a shared decision-making visit with the clinical team.
3
Screen
Patients access low-dose CT scans through our partner imaging network. We help schedule SDM visits and annual screenings so no eligible patient falls through the cracks or misses their follow-up.
4
Analyze
LungAI CADx scores every nodule 0 to 100 inside the radiologist's existing viewer. No new workstation, no new login. 0.96 AUROC, results in under 3 minutes.
5
Act
Lung-RADS tells you the category. LungAI tells you the probability of cancer. Clinicians use that score to fast-track high-risk cases, extend low-risk follow-ups to 3,6, or 12 months, and stop treating borderline nodules like coin flips. The right patient gets the right next step.
We close the gap in care so every community gets a fair shot at life.

Who Benefits
Value for Every Stakeholder
LungAI creates measurable clinical and financial value at every point in the care pathway, for patients, radiologists, pulmonologists, CADe partners, and health plans.
Patients
A real chance at surviving lung cancer.
- Stage I survival 77 to 92% vs just 9% at Stage IV
- 60 to 80% fewer missed cancers with AI-assisted reads
- Fewer unnecessary biopsies means less anxiety and fewer complications
77–92%
5-year survival at Stage I vs 9% at Stage IV
Radiologists
Less cognitive burden. More confidence.
- Risk score appears inline, no new software, no extra clicks
- Read time drops from 5 to 10 min to 1.5 to 3 min
- 33 to 50% fewer unnecessary follow-up orders and biopsies
80%
Faster reads vs manual, up to 80% time saved per scan
Pulmonologists
Risk-stratify patients. Prioritize the ones who can't wait.
- Biopsy vs wait decisions backed by 0.96 AUROC
- High-risk cases get priority appointment slots automatically
- May extend follow-up from 3 to 6 months, less radiation, fewer visits
0.96
AUROC: a trusted second opinion on every borderline case
Hospitals and Health Systems
Screening revenue is just the beginning.
- Every screen generates downstream referrals: biopsy, PET/CT, surgery, oncology, all staying in-system
- Positions the health system as a lung cancer center of excellence in the community
- HEDIS quality uplift, community benefit reporting, and Stage I detection rate improvement
$1.4M
System-wide revenue per 1,000 screens across all 4 care layers
Health Plans
$60M to $100M saved per 100 cases caught early.
- Stage I cost ~$200K vs Stage IV at ~$800K to $1.2M
- NCQA developing lung cancer screening HEDIS measure
- CPT 0721T reimbursement pathway exists today
4–6x
ROI from early detection vs late-stage treatment
Pre-FDA 510(k) clearance. NLST held-out retrospective study. Results may differ in prospective clinical use. CPT 0721T reimbursement figures reflect CMS 2025 Medicare rates. Commercial rates vary by payer and contract.
Our CEO's Story
A mission born from personal loss
After losing more than ten family members to cancer, Jonathan Govette founded Oatmeal Health to make sure fewer families have to endure the same. We built the platform we wish had existed.
