Overview

Non-invasive AI thermal-imaging (SAFE) to read skin-test and inflammatory responses — reimagining allergy diagnostics.

What they do

Milton Essex S.A. is a Polish med-tech company developing non-invasive AI thermal-imaging diagnostics for allergy and inflammation. Its platform (branded around SAFE / SkinSENS) uses far-infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral imaging to automatically read the body's thermal and inflammatory response, with a flagship use case in reading skin allergy-test reactions without manual measurement.

Lead program & status

The lead product is the SkinSENS imaging system for in-vivo allergy diagnostics, which automates assessment of histamine-induced cutaneous reactions; the company has cited related US patent rights (e.g. US 10,238,300 B2) and described itself as addressing a niche with no direct automated competitor. Milton Essex debuted on Poland's NewConnect market on 17 December 2020. It has publicly reported progressing certification steps for the SkinSENS allergy-diagnostics product, and previously described an offshoot thermal-screening concept (FaceCOV) for fever detection developed with the Military University of Technology. Specific regulatory-clearance completion and clinical results were not confirmed in available sources and should be treated as in-progress.

Why it matters

Allergy skin testing is widely used but read manually and subjectively. Automated, non-invasive thermal imaging promises faster, more objective and reproducible reads, with potential to extend to broader inflammatory-response diagnostics.

FAQ

What is the SAFE / SkinSENS platform?
It is Milton Essex's non-invasive AI thermal-imaging system that uses far-infrared hyperspectral imaging to automatically read allergic and inflammatory responses, notably skin allergy-test reactions.
Is Milton Essex publicly listed?
Yes. It debuted on Poland's NewConnect market (part of the Warsaw Stock Exchange group) on 17 December 2020.
What stage is the product at?
The company has reported advancing certification of its SkinSENS allergy-diagnostics product; as of available sources the approval and clinical-validation steps appear to be in progress rather than fully completed.
