Company

Our company was formed by merging “AngioScan”, which was developing new medical technologies, and Phyton specialized on the development and manufacturing of hardware and software tools for microprocessor systems (Integrated Development Environments, cross-assemblers, C compilers, software simulators, etc.)

Alexander Parfenov, MD, PhD. Dr. Parfenov worked for over 15 years at the Research Institute of Physico-Chemical Medicine (Moscow, Russia), where he held the positions of increasing responsibility from a staff scientist to the Head of the Laboratory of Non-invasive Diagnostics. A cardiologist by training and an accomplished inventor and entrepreneur, Dr. Parfenov spent most of his professional life developing and commercializing novel diagnostic methods and devices in the area of cardiovascular health. As a clinical researcher of rheologic and mechanical properties of blood vessels, he invented and commercialized a novel diagnostic device for the measurement of blood viscosity. Later, he co-invented and patented a non-invasive diagnostic skin cholesterol test which was developed into an FDA-approved point-of-care diagnostic test by a Canadian company.
