Lumius is a Y Combinator (Spring 2026) medical-imaging startup building fast, smart, accessible real-time 3D ultrasound systems — described as "a 3D camera for the body." The technology aims to move ultrasound beyond traditional 2D imaging to intelligent, AI-assisted 3D visualization across larger volumes, with an initial focus on vascular access and central-line placement (where roughly half of first attempts fail among new clinicians) and future targets including blood-clot detection, tumor diagnosis, and biopsy guidance. The company partners with academic institutions such as Duke University and Columbia University. Lumius is a hardware/device company with no public API, SDK, or developer platform; its products are pre-market and not intended for medical use. This profile was added to the API Evangelist network as a VC portfolio lead and has been reviewed by the enrichment pipeline.
