Aging is the main cause behind most illnesses that eventually kill us. Your chance of dying doubles every 8 years. By the time you turn 80, half of your peers are dead. However, it turns out aging is a biological process, amenable to treatment. Research has demonstrated that we can postpone the onset of age-related disease. Lab mice know this already. Experiments with caloric restriction, senolytics and metabolic inhibitors have extended life and reversed aging - in mice. But how do we know these treatments will work in humans? We can wait and see if patients receiving these new treatments die later. Or see if onset of age-related disease is postponed. But this is slow. It takes many, many years to know for sure if the treatments work. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a faster way? Thanks to the discovery of the epigenetic clock, we can now accurately describe changes to gene regulation caused by aging. By turning this discovery into a blood test, we can measure the exact aging status inside human cells. This will be incredibly useful to researchers involved in aging research. They would know if a treatment works, much earlier than before. So that’s what we’re making: A biomarker for aging which is accurate, affordable and quick.

Augere Medical is a commercial stage Norwegian medical device company founded in 2018 and is developing systems based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve polyp detection rates during screening for colorectal cancer. The term "augere" is derived from Latin, meaning "to increase" or "to grow" - hence the green color in our logo. It is the root of several words in English and other languages, including "authority," which signifies the power to promote or bring about growth. Augere’s first product, the PolypAID System, is being developed in cooperation with leading colonoscopists and in close cooperation with the research group at Simula. The PolypAID System analyses the real-time video stream during colonoscopy screening and supports the physicians in making the right decision during the screening process. We pledge to implement transparent AI to physicians and patients.
