Nex‑Tech has announced the development and expected rollout of its highly portable whole‑body CT scanner, named “NEX‑2029F,” scheduled for deployment in 2029. This lightweight mobile CT aims to revolutionize diagnostic imaging by bringing advanced medical services to rural clinics, disaster zones, and underserved areas.

Breakthrough Nano Electronic X‑Ray Technology

The NEX‑2029F represents a leap in miniature medical imaging thanks to its compact Nano Electronic X‑ray (NEX) platform. Weighing approximately 225 kg far lighter than conventional CT systems it leverages carbon nanotube based emitters to generate high‑resolution scans suitable for full‑body diagnostics in emergency or mobile settings.

Designed for Point‑of‑Care and Mobile Deployment

Engineered for rugged environments, this mobile scanner operates from a vehicle-based platform, enabling on-site imaging without dependence on hospital infrastructure. Its rapid deployment capability is ideal for community clinics, field hospitals, and humanitarian missions in remote or underserved regions.

Enhanced Accessibility for Rural and Emergency Healthcare

With its minimized size and portability, the NEX‑2029F addresses critical diagnostic gaps in rural and remote healthcare landscapes. Medical professionals can now access urgent imaging on-site, enabling faster triage, diagnosis, and treatment especially during emergencies or health crises.

Global Validation and Funding Support

The NEX-platform has already gained global traction, utilized in over 35 countries for X-ray diagnostics in settings ranging from COVID response to military applications. Recently, the project received substantial funding from ARPA-H, supporting further miniaturization and field deployment readiness.

Next Steps Ahead of 2029 Launch

Over the next few years, Nex‑Tech will conduct extensive field trials, regulatory validation, and manufacturing scale-up. Partnerships with healthcare providers, governments, and NGOs are expected to facilitate early adoption once the NEX‑2029F becomes available.
